In the summer of 1995, a completely renewed Deutz-Fahr Agrotron model range was introduced. The similarity to its predecessors was mainly limited to the color and the slanted hood seen in some earlier models. The design was characterized by an unprecedented roundness in all surfaces.

In the same year, Deutz-Fahr’s tractor production was sold to the Same Group, but this had no impact yet on the creation of the Agrotron series. Deutz-Fahr began to be imported to Finland by the factory’s subsidiary in 1996.

The Agrotrons featured new liquid-cooled engines from the former owner, KHD. The four-cylinder engines had a displacement of only 3.2 liters. All engines were turbocharged, and the three largest four-cylinder engines were also intercooled. Torque increased by 30–32%, and rated power was available at 1900–2300 rpm. The engine oil change interval was 500 hours.

The four-cylinder models had 24+8 gears (when reversing, the middle gear of the powershift was always in use). In Finland, most models came standard with a 3-stage hydraulic powershift. Along with it, the hydraulic direction reversal was preselected with a switch next to the steering wheel and activated with the clutch pedal. The factory base version Syncrosplit was based on a 3-stage mechanical range gear. The transmission was a ZF 7100. The driven front axle was also manufactured by ZF. Depending on the equipment, the front axle had either a 45% limited-slip differential, a switchable 100% disc lock, or an automatic 100% disc lock. The hydraulics came from Bosch. The open hydraulic system’s pump output was 66 liters per minute, and the lifting capacity was 6,220 kg. Control of the three-point hitch was always electro-hydraulic. Contrary to Deutz tradition, the brakes were oil-immersed.

The cab, with its colorful knobs, was a world apart from its predecessors. The traditional German conservatism had been replaced by the ideas of industrial designers. Visibility from the cab was excellent. The exhaust pipe was located on the right corner pillar of the cab. Air intake on the four-cylinder models was under the hood. (The pictures show six-cylinder models because the brochure did not have images of the four-cylinder versions).

Thanks to the modular construction, there were many equipment options in the range. Features were also assembled into packages. Mainly mid-range models, the S-models, which included hydraulic powershift, were imported to Finland. The Agrotron tt also included, among other features, a radar-based traction control.
