Introduction
Hesston 1180 Row-Crop Tractor
The Hesston 1180 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1981 and 1984. Part of the 1380 series, this machine was engineered for heavy agricultural applications, combining a high-displacement engine with versatile transmission and hydraulic configurations.
Engine and Powertrain
The tractor is powered by the Fiat 8065, a 5.5-liter, 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It features a liquid-cooling system and operates at a rated speed of 2550 RPM. Power is transmitted through multiple gear options, including 12-speed and 24-speed configurations, allowing operators to match speed to specific field requirements. The machine is available in a standard 4x2 2WD configuration, with an optional 4x4 MFWD system to improve traction in difficult terrain.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design, providing a pump flow of 13.3 gpm (50.3 lpm) at a operating pressure of 2450 psi (168.9 bar). It is equipped with two hydraulic valves. The rear hitch is a Category II system, with an optional Category IIIN configuration available for increased implement compatibility. The independent rear PTO offers dual-speed capabilities of 540 and 1000 RPM.
Operator Environment and Mechanical Features
The 1180 comes standard with the Supercomfort cab, which includes integrated air conditioning to maintain operator comfort. Steering is managed via a hydrostatic power system, and the tractor is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes to ensure reliable stopping performance. The electrical system is supported by a 65-amp alternator and a 12-volt starter.
Conclusion
With an operating weight ranging from 11,800 lbs in the 2WD model to 13,100 lbs in the 4WD version, the Hesston 1180 serves as a heavy-duty platform for row-crop farming. Its combination of a 113 hp engine and robust hydraulic capacity makes it suitable for demanding tillage and planting operations.
