TRANSMISSION 1

The Deutz-Fahr DX 3.70 features a partially synchronized transmission with 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, allowing for versatile speed control across various tasks. The dry disc clutch promotes reliable engagement but may require more maintenance compared to wet clutches under heavy use. With an oil capacity of 39.1 quarts, regular oil checks are essential to ensure optimal performance, especially when operating in low-range conditions for precision work.

Type partially synchronized
Gears 12 forward and 4 reverse
Clutch dry disc
Oil capacity 39.1qts / 37.0L
Description Four synchronized gears (1-4) in three ranges (creeper/low/high) plus reverse range

TRANSMISSION 2

The Deutz-Fahr DX 3.70 features a dual-split transmission with a two-speed power shift, enabling seamless transitions between 24 forward and 8 reverse gears, which enhances versatility across various farming tasks. The dry disc clutch supports efficient power transfer but may require more maintenance compared to wet clutches. Ideal for diverse applications, this system allows precise speed and torque management, optimizing performance for tasks like plowing or hauling.

Gears 24 forward and 8 reverse
Clutch dry disc
Description Dual-split adds a two-speed high/low shift to the basic transmission. Four gears in three forward ranges and one reverse range

MECHANICAL

The Deutz-Fahr DX 3.70 features a robust 4x4 MFWD option, enhancing traction in varied terrains, which is ideal for applications requiring superior grip, such as plowing or tilling. Its 12-speed partially synchronized or optional 24-speed power shift transmission allows for smooth gear changes, optimizing efficiency during operation; however, mastering the gear shift could pose a learning curve for less experienced operators. The combination of hydraulic drum brakes and mechanical rear differential lock provides reliable stopping power and improved traction management, essential for safe maneuvering in challenging field conditions.

DEUTZ-FAHR DX 3.70 TIRES

The Deutz-Fahr DX 3.70 tractor offers both 2WD and 4WD configurations, allowing farmers to select based on terrain and application requirements; 4WD provides superior traction and stability in challenging conditions, particularly with standard 12.4R24 front and 16.9R34 rear tires. The optional tire configuration (13.6-24 front and 13.6-38 rear) may enhance flotation on soft ground, making it suitable for diverse agricultural tasks, although it may slightly reduce maneuverability in tight spaces. Consider your farming environment; 2WD suffices for flat terrains, while 4WD excels in hilly or wet areas, maximizing efficiency and productivity.
