Introduction

Fiat 140-90 Row-Crop Tractor

The Fiat 140-90 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1985 and 1991, serving as a core model within the 130-90 and 160-90 series. Designed for demanding agricultural tasks, this model combines mechanical reliability with versatile configuration options for heavy-duty fieldwork.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by the Fiat 8065.25, a 5.9-liter, 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It features a compression ratio of 16.5:1 and a liquid-cooling system, delivering a rated power of 136 horsepower at 2500 RPM. This engine configuration is engineered to provide consistent torque for intensive traction requirements.

Transmission and Drivetrain

Operators can choose between three transmission systems: a 16-speed synchronized transmission, a 24-speed creeper transmission, or a 16-speed partial power shift transmission featuring four power-shift gears across four ranges. The tractor is available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations, equipped with power steering and differential hydraulic wet disc brakes for improved maneuverability.

Hydraulics and Hitch

The hydraulic system operates at a pressure of 2450 psi with a pump flow capacity of 13.4 gpm (50.7 lpm). It includes three valves to support various implements. The rear hitch is a Type II category system, with an optional Type II/III configuration available, capable of lifting up to 9,750 lbs (4,422 kg).

Operator Environment

The machine comes standard with the Supercomfort cab, which includes factory-installed air conditioning to maintain operator conditions during extended field operations. The electrical system is supported by a 65-amp alternator and a 12-volt starting system.

Conclusion

The Fiat 140-90 is a robust, high-capacity tractor tailored for row-crop applications. Its combination of a 6-cylinder turbocharged engine, multiple transmission choices, and significant hydraulic lift capacity makes it a versatile tool for professional agricultural operations requiring long-term durability.
