If you think about it, all the water does in a liquid cooled motor is transfer heat from the cylinders to the air. A deutz just removes the water from the equation.

I drove a 65hp deutz 4cyl pulling a shredder that was too big for it and It outpulled and stayed cooler and used much less fuel than the other tractor (an older 90hp 6cyl Oliver) we used in a 100+ degree Texas summer.............one note though, when operating in dusty conditions you have to blow out the dust from around the cylinder jugs every now and then or cooling efficiency will be greatly reduced
