DEUTZ-FAHR DX 130 ENGINE
The Deutz-Fahr DX 130 features a robust 6.1L, 6-cylinder diesel engine, ensuring high torque output and efficiency for demanding agricultural tasks. The dual fuel tank options (40 gallons / 151.4 liters and 66 gallons / 249.8 liters) provide flexibility in fuel capacity, facilitating extended operational periods without frequent refueling, which is advantageous for large-scale farming scenarios. However, the larger tank may increase the overall weight of the tractor, potentially impacting maneuverability in tighter spaces.

TRANSMISSION
The Deutz-Fahr DX 130 features a two-speed power shift with 24 forward and 8 reverse gears, allowing for precise control and optimal torque management across varied terrains and tasks. Its hydraulic dry disc clutch enhances durability and improves responsiveness, although it may require careful modulation during operation to prevent wear. With an oil capacity of 56 quarts (53.0L), maintenance intervals should be considered to ensure effective hydraulic and transmission performance.

| Gears | 24 forward and 8 reverse |
| Clutch | hydraulic dry disc |
| Oil capacity | 56qts / 53.0L |
| Description | Four gears (1-4) in three ranges (low, medium, high) with two-speed power shift |
MECHANICAL
The Deutz-Fahr DX 130 features a robust 4WD system with planetary final drives for enhanced traction and maneuverability, making it suitable for diverse agricultural applications. Its hydraulic foot-operated differential lock allows for effective handling in slippery conditions, while the hydrostatic power steering reduces operator fatigue during extended use. The 24-speed two-speed power shift transmission provides versatile speed options, though the complexity of this system may require increased maintenance and operator training for optimal performance.

DEUTZ-FAHR DX 130 TIRES
The Deutz-Fahr DX 130 tractor features standard agricultural tires with options for 2WD and 4WD configurations, enhancing its versatility in various field conditions. The 11.00-16 front tires on 2WD models provide decent traction, while the 14.9-28 front tires on 4WD models improve maneuverability and stability. However, the larger rear tires (18.4-38 or 20.8-38) may require careful ballast management to optimize weight distribution and prevent soil compaction during heavy-duty applications.
