Deutz-Fahr is currently celebrating their 17th year serving the Canadian marketplace.

Deutz-Fahr's tractor history dates back to 1894 when a facility in Philadelphia manufactured a tractor with a 26hp engine. Since then, Deutz-Fahr has expanded its reach into Europe and North America. In 2014 the Deutz-Fahr 9340 TTV won the 2015 Golden Tractor for the Design award during the EIMA International Agricultural and Gardening Exhibition.
