Introduction
Fiat 180-90 Row-Crop Tractor
The Fiat 180-90 is a heavy-duty row-crop tractor produced between 1985 and 1991. Part of the 160-90 series, this machine was engineered for demanding agricultural applications, offering significant power and versatile transmission configurations.
Engine Specifications
The tractor is powered by the Fiat-Iveco 8365.25, a 6-cylinder, liquid-cooled, turbocharged diesel engine. It features direct injection and a displacement of 8.1 liters (494 ci). With a compression ratio of 15.5:1 and a rated engine speed of 2200 RPM, it provides a power output of 180 hp suitable for heavy traction tasks.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 180-90 offers three transmission variants to accommodate different operational needs: a 16-speed synchronized gearbox, a 24-speed creeper transmission for low-speed precision, and a 16-speed partial power shift system. The drivetrain supports both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations, complemented by hydrostatic power steering and hydraulic disc brakes.
Hydraulics and Hitch
Equipped with a hydraulic system operating at 2450 psi (168.9 bar), the tractor provides a pump flow of 14.7 gpm (55.6 lpm) across three valves. The rear hitch is a Category II/III type with a lift capacity of 12,750 lbs (5783 kg), allowing for the operation of heavy implements.
PTO and Electrical
The machine features an independent rear Power Take-Off (PTO) system standardized at 1000 RPM. The electrical system is supported by a 65-amp alternator and a 12-volt starter.
Conclusion
With its robust engine and flexible transmission options, the Fiat 180-90 is designed for high-intensity row-crop cultivation and general heavy-duty farm work. Its substantial lift capacity and hydraulic performance position it as a reliable tool for professional agricultural operations.
