Price: 34 700 €
In 1985, with the idea of conquering the american market the german
Deutz AG took over the Agriculture Division of the american tractor
manufacturer Allis-Chalmers, which was in financial difficulties at that
time.
From 1986 various models based on the Deutz-Fahr DX were presented.
These were no longer painted in orange like the previous Allis-Chalmers
vehicles, but painted in the light green of the Deutz-Fahr tractors.
In 1989 the series 9100, which was especially developed for the American
market, was presented. The tractors were built at the "White" tractor
plant in Coldwater, Ohio and had a lot in common with the "White
Workhorse" range.
Air-cooled Deutz engines were only installed under the hood of the strikingly long designed tractor.
For Deutz, the trip to America was not a success, in total they lost
more than 1 billion Deutsch-Mark in the five years on the American
market. This was mainly due to the poor exchange rate between the US
dollar and
Deutsch-Mark at that time.
In May 1990, Deutz AG then sold its subsidiary through a management buy-out with retroactive effect to December 31, 1989.
