The Deutz‑Fahr tractor 230MK3 belongs to the group of high‑power agricultural machines. It is equipped with a 230 PS (169.2 kW) engine that at a rated speed of 2,350 rpm delivers a maximum torque of 928 Nm. The six‑cylinder engine has a displacement of 7,146 cc. Its dimensions are 5,360 mm in length, 2,500 mm in width and 3,225 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,089 mm. The curb weight is 8,350 kg, the transmission is a 24‑forward/24‑reverse gearbox, and the fuel tank holds 550 L. The lift category is Cat III.
With 230 PS the tractor can handle heavy pulling tasks such as driving large plows or mowers. The high torque of 928 Nm provides sufficient pulling force even at low speeds, which is important for soil work. The solid curb weight of 8,350 kg ensures good ground pressure and stability, while the compact length of 5,360 mm aids maneuverability in tight field rows. The large 550 L tank allows long operating periods without frequent refuelling.
The 230MK3 is designed for operations that demand high power and large working capacity. Typical applications include extensive arable farming, heavy soil cultivation and powering large agricultural implements. Its size and equipment make it especially suitable for demanding field work where both pulling strength and endurance are required.
Deutz-Fahr – other models: the collective page of tractors outside the named ranges, from the MK3-generation classics through the 4 and 5 series to models with KEYLINE and TTV specification
This page gathers the Deutz-Fahr tractors the register could not assign to a named range – from older model years such as the 100 to 260 MK3 range through the four-cylinder 4 series (4.5, 4.56, 4.85, 4006) to the broad mid-range 5 series with types from 5060 to 5120. Deutz, founded in 1864 by Nikolaus Otto in Cologne as an engine works, merged its tractor business with that of the Fahr machinery works of Gottmadingen in 1968 to form Deutz-Fahr; since 1995 the brand has belonged to the Italian SAME-Deutz-Fahr group (SDF), which builds the tractors in Lauingen on the Danube in Bavaria. In the 5 series the type designation clearly tracks the power: the 5090 has about 90 hp, the 5105 about 105 hp, the 5115 about 115 hp; the suffixes KEYLINE, ECOLINE and TTV denote the equipment level and stepless transmission, D and DT four-wheel drive.

The register lists here 213 versions with 35 to 211.1 kW (47 to 268 hp) from three- to six-cylinders of 1,758 to 7,146 cm³, unladen weights from 2,800 to 10,725 kg, gross weights from 4,500 to 16,000 kg, lengths from 2,980 to 5,820 mm, widths from 2,008 to 2,944 mm and heights from 2,020 to 3,225 mm.
Deutz-Fahr is one of Europe's longest-established tractor brands and a fixture in the mid and upper power segment in Germany, Italy and much of southern Europe; the brand's distinctive green paint and cab design have shaped its image for decades.
On used tractors, engine condition and rust on the bodywork count on the older MK3 and 4-series models, on the 5 series the transmission (mechanical, KEYLINE or stepless TTV), hydraulics and electronics, and on the DF and G variants the condition of the four-wheel-drive clutch; parts run through the SDF network and in part through Same and Lamborghini workshops.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
