Dave,
I don't have a lot of Deutz TRACTOR knowledge.. BUT.. as far as power units, I've ran a few of em.
On a tractor, they're right, you got to keep an eye on the jugs.. There's a panel that opens up on one side or the other.. Have to keep it cleaned out well or they overheat or possibly start fire.
Grandpa had a newer deutz-allis (9190) when I was younger.. I think it had around 3500 hours on it when they sold it.. Only thing I can remember them ever doing to it was a a/c compressor (and of course, the routine maintenance)
Their tiling machines (the last 2 anyhow) were both German built, I think they were both V10's..
The first was bought used, but "fully reconditioned" from a dealer here in the states.. They had a h3ll of a time with it.. cracked jugs, blown head gaskets, burnt pistons.. Dealer put a different engine in it about 6 months after the purchase (apparently, they didn't recon the engine too well).
The 2nd tiling machine they've had now for 12 years.. 10k hours on the clock, runs and starts as good as when it was new, and uses less than half a gallon of oil between changes. Grandpa has never said a word about hard cold starts, but we don't do much tiling in the winter though.
At work, we have a lot of small (2 3 and 4 cylinder) deutz power units. I can't attest for the maintenance, or how many "trouble free" hours, but, the ones I have run seem to start well, run strong, and seem good on fuel.. To me, they do seem a little noisy, and seem to vibrate more than some of the others.. But seem to be low maintenance.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Secondary Ignition Wires and Distributor - by Curtis Von Fange. In our last episode we spent the entire day checking out the spark plugs. Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
