SAME Quietly Went Back to the Old Design — And Never Told Farmers

0:00 The cylinder head SAME quietly brought back 2:01 SAME’s air-cooled engine heritage 3:06 Why individual heads save repair time 4:15 How emissions rules changed tractor engines 5:31 Why SAME needed to control its own engine 10:08 SAME sells Deutz and unveils FARMotion 11:43 How FARMotion combines old and new 20:50 The FARMotion buying checklist and final lesson I uncover the quiet engineering reversal behind SAME’s FARMotion engine—and why a design the industry left behind came back under the hood of modern tractors. I trace SAME’s history from its air-cooled engines in Treviglio through its relationship with Deutz, changing emissions rules, and the decision to bring engine development back in-house. I also explain how FARMotion combines individual cylinder heads and removable liners with modern common-rail injection and emissions equipment. I break down what this means for repairs, wet-liner maintenance, coolant and cavitation, and what I would ask before buying a Deutz-Fahr or any tractor powered by a FARMotion engine.
