Deutz-AUis Extends Warranties On Tractors, Combines
New extended warranties now
back the entire Deutz-AUis line of
air-cooled diesel tractors and rot
ary Gleaner combines.
A four-year 4,000-hour warran
ty covers all the company’s farm
tractors from 40 to 193 PTO
horsepower. The Gleaner combine
extended warranty is a five-year
5,000-hour program.
“Extending the warranty per
iods supports our reputation for
dependable farm equipment. It
shows our customers that we back
our products,” says Bill Temple
ton, vice president of marketing
for Deutz-AUis.
No other North American farm
equipment supplier offers as broad
of coverage over its entire tractor
line, Templeton noted.
‘This sets us apart,” he says,
noting that the Deutz-AUis war
ranty covers die company’s small,
mid-sized, special-dimension and
large farm tractors, including the
newly introduced high
horsepower 9100 Series models.
The warranted tractors, pow
ered by renowned Deutz air
cooled diesel engines, have
demonstrated reliable perfor
mance, reduced downtime and
efficient operation, adds J.R.
“Russ” Green, Deutz-AUis tractor
marketing manager.
“We’re die first industry player
to have a four-year warranty
across its whole tractor product
line,” Green says. “This is fuU
coverage - from the hitch pin to
the weight bracket.” Some com
ponents, such as tires and batte
ries, would be covered by manu
facturer warranty.
Other manufacturers have
offered extended warranties on
their larger row-crop tractors, he
notes, but not across their entire
product line.
“We feel comfortable offering
this warranty because our equip
ment is field-proven. Because the
engines are air-cooled, farmers
benefit from efficient perfor
mance and fewer breakdowns,”
Green notes.
TypicaUy 40 percent of equip
ment downtime is caused by
breakdowns in Uquid-cooled sys
tems, he says. The Deutz air
cooled engine design eliminates
the need for these systems - and
the costs of fixing these kinds of
breakdowns, he explains.
“In farmers’ terms, this means
that the engine won’t overheat
during heavy spring fieldwork. It
won’t pop a hose during planting
operations. And it won’t blow a
water pump when you need to get
the crop in the ground water rather
than be running across the coun
tryside to get a part,” he adds.
Smooth-running operations are
just as critical at harvest, notes
Tom Stadtmueller, Deutz-AUis
combine marketing manager.
“At harvest you need to be in
the combine, not be up to your
elbows replacing a radiator hose,”
says Stadtmueller.
“Our entire rotary Gleaner com
bine line is powered by the Deutz
engine. The product is depend
able, and the warranty demon
strates to our customers that we
mean what we say,about the heart
of the Gleaner,” he says.
