Deutz-Fahr is a German company, manufacturer of agricultural machinery and tractors, under the leadership of such brands as Deutz and Fahr (German), and uniting the agricultural sector of the Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz AG (KHD, English) concern.
Since 1995, Deutz-Fahr has been owned by the Italian concern SAME DEUTZ-FAHR, which changed its name to SDF in November 2015.
The company was founded in 1977.In 1991, a new harvester of the TOPLINER series was introduced.
