Buddy thinks Dutz never mad liquid cooled thou
Many Americans think this for some reason. Duetz AG is a big engine company and one of the oldest. The company was founded by Nikolaus Otto, you may recognize him as the man credited with inventing the 4 stroke engine. This is seperate from the tractor company Duetz Fahr that has been owned by Same since 95. AG confuses people too. It's the abbreviation for the German word Aktiengesellschaft which is the equivalent of a public traded corporation in the US. It does not mean agriculture like some are led to believe.
Duetz is well and alive producing air, oil and liquid cooled engine for various applications. We have two on our farm. Fendt uses duetz in most of their tractors and duetz also builds engines for Volvo. Volvo is actually now the majority owner of duetz.
I like a lot of their stuff just because it's different. Very efficient engines though.
