VINTAGE
Fire truck for the "Doskerkerls"
The "Doskerkerls" from Velen are lucky enough to count a very special
vehicle as their very own. They were able to save a 48-year-old
Magirius-Deutz tank fire truck from the scrap heap thanks to a private
sponsor.
On an exercise, Heinrich Hovermann, the head of the "Doskerkerls",
spotted the bright-red Magirus-Deutz with its dome bonnet and
immediately fell in love with it. The truck, which was built in 1961, had
already done 23,000 kilometres, but it no longer met today's technical
standards. When Hovermann learned that the fire brigade wanted
to get rid of the truck, the truck enthusiast decided to take over the
vintage vehicle for the "Doskerkerls" club. With the support of a private
sponsor, Hovermann managed to add a very special new member
to the club's collection. "We are thinking of including the truck at
markets and other events", says Hovermann.

TEST WINNER
Agrotron K: winner of
the comparison test
The Agrotron K is the economical classic
among tractors. A comparison test
by leading agricultural weekly publications
ranked the Agrotron K from
SAME DEUTZ-FAHR in the hard-fought
90-120 HP class as the absolute winner
in terms of performance and consumption.
The powerful and reliable Agrotron
K uses the tried-and-tested DEUTZ
2012 engine. The 4-cylinder powerhouse
gets its power from its 4 litre
cylinder capacity. While models K90,
K100 and K120 each have a 4-cylinder
engine under the bonnet, the Agrotron
K110 has a6-cylinder engine with 6.1
litres of cylinder capacity. Its constant
power range stands at 600 rpm, while
its maximum power is 1,700 rpm.
Compared to this, the 4-cylinder
engines deliver a constant power
range of just under 500 rpm. The new
K120 features a maximum engine
power of 88kW/120 HP – a performance
class in which SAME DEUTZ
FAHR has previously only been represented
with a 6-cylinder model. The
economical DEUTZ engines deliver an
output of 90 to 130 HP, while at
reduced engine speed the velocity is
40 to 50 km/h. Crucial factors in the
positive rating included not only the
low fuel consumption, but also the
transport and power take-off shaft
speeds plus extensive hydraulic equipment
and superlative user comfort.
