Deutz-Fahr DX 7.10 – DX 8.30

The successor to the DX 160 model was the DX 7.10, which was introduced to the market in 1984. It was largely similar to the DX 6 series, but the transmission was a 36+12-speed unit manufactured by Steyr. The transmission had 3 ranges, with the slowest and fastest being sequential in speed ranges, and the middle range overlapping both. In addition, there was a creep range and a 2-speed hydraulic powershift. The lifting capacity was significantly greater than that of the DX 6 series. In the USA, the DX 7.10 was known as the Deutz-Allis 7145.

Among Deutz’s large tractors, 200-horsepower DX 230 models were produced between 1980-82, and 220-horsepower DX 250 models between 1982-83. Their successor was the DX 8.30. It was equipped with a turbocharged 9.6-liter engine (220 hp). The transmission was purchased from ZF and the hydraulics from Bosch. The transmission had 18+6 gears. The lifting device was electrohydraulic. The most significant difference from its predecessor was the new front axle equipped with a differential lock. From 1985 onwards, the engine was the newer 513 series.
