ford4ever Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Rory, one thing I know we asked for a Deutz buyer's guide but why those sloped bonnet versions as after the newer ones they are the most hated thing over here :D N,Are they that hated?? ,a neighbour of mine has 3 of them together with Agroton 1??,MF1200 and 3 or 4 Mf 188's.They has a MF 1080 but haven't seen it around for a while .Think it may have been replaced by one of the Deutz F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorsday Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Ford4ever, Ask and though shalt be given - and that's what you get, a Deutz buyer's guide. Finding good quality older Deutz tractors is not easy in mainland UK - however, I will accept that the one we did land on, the droop-snout Agrostar 6.38, is probably one of the least common Deutz machines around (but still better than Agrotron MkIs and IIs). Hopefully it will stand up as a bit of a novelty/curio item and an example of an early droop-snout model. Regards Rory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Fair enough point Rory any Deutz has to be better than those newer Agrotons or as my neighbour says F**** helicopters :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 seeing that comment I noticed at Eastbourne Airbourne show last year there was a sectional gearbox on display in one of the tents (Royal Engineers? perhaps) of a helicopter gearbox (I think?) anyway it was made by KHD.

Not likely to be the Royal Engineers as they are minefields, bridges and demolition as well as construction (having myself been part of the Corps of Royal Engineers for 24 years!). Most likely to be the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) who deal with engines (amongst many things). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
