DEUTZ-ALLIS 6260 ENGINE

The Deutz-Allis 6260 tractor features a robust Deutz 3.1L three-cylinder diesel engine, known for its efficient fuel consumption and reliable torque delivery, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks. However, its smaller engine displacement may result in reduced power output compared to larger tractors, potentially limiting performance in heavy-duty applications. Overall, the lightweight design and compact size might be advantageous for maneuverability in tight spaces, but users should consider the potential trade-off in engine power for larger implements.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Deutz-Allis 6260 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, providing versatility in various agricultural applications. The dry disc clutch offers effective power transfer, though it may present challenges in smooth engagement during heavy load scenarios. This transmission setup is advantageous for tasks requiring fine speed control, such as tilling or planting, while the limited gear range might necessitate more frequent shifting in steep or varied terrain.

Type partially synchronized
Gears 8 forward and 4 reverse
Clutch dry disc
Description Four synchronized gears (1-4) in two ranges, plus reverse range.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Deutz-Allis 6260 tractor features a Dual-Split two-speed power shift transmission, providing 16 forward and 8 reverse gears. This configuration enhances operational versatility and efficiency, allowing for smooth transitions between speeds, ideal for varied field applications. However, potential challenges may include increased complexity in maintenance and reliance on hydraulic systems, which necessitate regular inspections.

Type two-speed power shift
Gears 16 forward and 8 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Deutz-Allis 6260 tractor features a robust 4WD option, enhancing traction and maneuverability in varied terrains, ideal for agricultural applications where stability is critical. The hydraulic disc brakes provide superior stopping power compared to mechanical alternatives, proving advantageous in demanding scenarios. However, the 8-speed transmission, while functional for most tasks, may pose challenges in specific high-speed fieldwork, where the 16-speed configuration would be more advantageous for seamless operation.
