Industrial Deutz Diesel - One of the most reliable engines in the world. Find out why

I have 2. One in my bobcat, 23 yrs old, one in my stump grinder, over 30 yrs old. Oil stays honey gold, in one of them , yr round. Original turbos on both. Some days, wide open, all day, summer heat , in the south. . They are nothing short of AMAZING!

Many engines are, and Cat and Detroit made legendary unit injection engines. They just skip the external high pressure lines and put the unit injector up top in the cylinder head, and drive it via OHC roller followers or pushrods. My Kubota and Perkins diesels use a casette pump that is inline and driven off the engine's single camshaft. I can't complain. Can't complain with the Bosch P pump on my 12 valve Cummins either. The hydraulic electronic unit injectors on the Ford 7.3 we have are pretty damn solid too.

[@davidcoupalbergeron2]

@@ChevyConQueso I did go school for diesel . The common rail is the best but the less reliable . The reason why is because of the tolerance inside the injector . Water have bigger molécule then diesel and create friction that make them overheat. I did check this week and those individual injector create the same amount of psi and can be adjust on rpm . You cannot avoid water into diesel because of condensation . So one step ahead 2 step back lol . When it's too good they make sure to kill it .

The Dietz generator ran nearly non-stop for 4 months and then we had it serviced by local mechanics and we found that many of the oil lines and ways were clogged up and it was a wonder how it kept going without a single hiccup!

😂I am German and your pronunciation of Deutz just made my day!

[@rogerringold616]

No wonder FORD GM DODGE wont make anything like for 48 states....it works forever....no seperate coolant system.

[@claytondaniel7832]

I work at Ford. The EPA has total control over what we make. The government is our problem. They have mandated low sulfur diesel,particulate filters and other things I am sure that really makes being a manufacturer difficult. Our fleet that we produce has to get their CAFE standards.

[@ricksanchez7459]

​@claytondaniel7832 yup. Its funny watching them fight with john deere over it. Each trying to blame the other for modern, overly complex and unreliable equipment. I hope chevron deference goes away.

[@strang1124]

You PRONOUNCED the engine name properly 😊 I am forever a fan.

[@harlanborders943]

We use there tractor’s at work tuff as they come. They will run forever

[@orvalaltwasser505]

When Deutz was building air cooled engines, they were the best engines in the world , in my opinion. In a period of 50 years , together my dad and owned 7 Deutz powered tractors and combines. They never ever heated , and were so efficient on fuel. We figured they did more work on our farm than any of our American made diesels, on 1/2 the fuel per acre. It’s called thermal efficiency Baby.

Any real mechanics here care to explain to me why some mechanics suggest I get rid of a car that has 250,000 miles on it. No missed service intervals. Runs and drives perfectly. Never had a problem starting, quiet, and smooth. I often drive it 100 trips at a time. Why would they suggest I get a new car?

[@TheReapersSon]

If you have no problems with the car then who are you talking to who is recommending vehicle replacement?

[@Zach-ju5vi]

They probably seen a bunch worn out parts under the car that will need replacement eventually and it will cost more than the car is worth. If you like the car ask for a quote to replace anything that looks worn out, spend the money, and keep driving it.

[@derekgardin1512]

Because he wants to buy it off you for cheap.

[@josevaldes846]

My 2007 GMC is up there as well, I will not get rid of it. Still in decent shape and I can jump in and take a cross country trip without hesitation. Anyway, I cannot afford the mortgage like payments on these new over electrified and plastic laden SUV’S 😅

[@joelee2371]

there are things in/on the chassis that will eventually wear out and can't be replaced, and in salt country the chassis itself will rust apart, but til that happens, keep taking care of it and drive it til wheels fall off and can't be put back on. newer cars are a technical and expensive nightmare, so avoid that for as long as you can.

[@skydive1424]

Message from Europe; if you want to pronounce Deutz correctly, it’d “Doits”

[@dcdanger6151]

My work bought a new 5" water pump with a 2cyl air cooled Duetz engine when I was first hired in 1986. I retired last year and it was still in service with over 15k hrs on the original engine and no major repairs.

[@ferdinandcuevas8457]

Deutz engines are common in Ground Support Equipment at most airports and also used in Heavy Equipment and like You say they are very durable the only is that You need to have a complete set of Torx sockets to be able to work on them .🇺🇸🇵🇷🦊👍

[@paulgrimm]

Should put these in cars and trucks

[@thefoodcan]

Why? Oil is 10x the cost of water and you need alot of oil to fill the block completely up. It has no advantages over using water to cool it, I would even say it has alot of negatives.

[@bradlywalsh5786]

What vehicle are these typically found in. Farm equipment?

[@eli3781]

We have these in slope mowers in our fleet

[@benjurqunov]

Yeah mostly farm, marine & construction equipment. Stationary equipment too. Pumps, Generators, etc. We used to have an air cooled 1970's F350 crewcab that was a special order for Aleyska Pipeline Company.

[@bradlywalsh5786]

@@benjurqunov oh sweet that's crazy I'm from Fairbanks Alaska I grew up riding snow machines and four wheelers on trails right next to the pipeline. Thank you for the reply

[@TheMeChaNic55]

In Yugoslavia we had air cooled v6 deutz motors in the Slovenian built TAM straight trucks. Things were tanks. They Easily get 1 million km out of them and they would tow 15 ton easy with a 9.5 L engine

[@eddiefollis5581]

We use them on industrial water pumps we rent they are from 3 to 8 cylinders and are great! Never have any major issues, and they run forever.
