I think they are coming into their own again, the agrotron styling has never really appealed to me. Returning to their glory days again perhaps?
Let down for years by poor dealer network.
How are they pricewise versus the likes of MF, JD and Claas?
id rate them to be a very good tractor, and as others have said, they just didnt/dont have the right dealer network.Think the well established dealers are going ok, Hegarty's have a few 6 series sold as far as I know. Maybe I'm biased but I think them a good solid reliable tractor, and always have been apart from a blip with the Mk1 Agrotrons. SDF didn't do themselves any favours taking the agency away from IAM and it has taken them a long time to recover
did he say why?Local contractor has just swapped 3 Deutz in for newhollands,he'd only had them 18months.

which wasnt helped by some suits 2 odd years ago travelling the whole of ireland telling lads that might of sold a half a dozen tractors in a year that they had to put in an order for so many tractors in the year ( which was a decent enough number ) or else they would pull out.
i know of two dealers who showed them the door, there wasnt much else they could do.

the new DNA.....
I reckon the lambo looks far better than the deutz.
5 series Deutz painted white
Yea, hurlimann are in the same bracket I think.
I've driven the neighbours M620 a bit, and I think overall it's an excellent machine. The 2 major gripes I have with it is, as drew mentioned, the 3pt linkage controls which are a bit stupid really with this locking and un-locking, and then sometimes it won't react at all.
The other is the speed matching of the splitter when changing gears with the lever, basically it does not match at all. Sometimes it would nearly snd you through the windscreen if you were not careful.
Aside from this, they seem to be a good tractor

Can't comment on either as the newest one here is a 150, the 3pt locking is straightforward enough on it when you get used to it you just flick the switch into neutral for 3 seconds. It locks if you go over 12mph, it's a safety feature that can be switched off. Am kinda in the market for an M620 at the minute and anyone I've spoken to who has them thinks well of them.
From what I'm told they aren't going to import any Lamborghini or Hurlimann over about 120hp into this country anymore, going to concentrate on the Deutz and Same. Makes sense, you'd wonder at the logic of marketing 4 different brands when the main selling point is supposedly they're all the same under the bonnet.
Never used the handbrake for a hill start in a tractor in my life, and anyway I know a few lads who could do with a buzzer to tell them the handbrake is on........
Was speaking to some one in the know at Agritechnica and he said Lambo and Hurlimann are going off the Irish market altogether.
