Introduction
Fiat 72-85 Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The Fiat 72-85 is a specialized agricultural crawler tractor produced between 1992 and 1999. Designed for demanding field conditions, this tracked machine provides high traction and stability, making it suitable for heavy-duty soil cultivation and specialized farming operations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the Fiat 8045.06, a liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder diesel engine. With a displacement of 3.6 liters and a rated speed of 2500 RPM, it delivers a power output of 70 hp (52.2 kW). The engine utilizes a 100 mm bore and 115 mm stroke configuration, designed for consistent torque delivery during continuous agricultural work.
Transmission and Drive
The 72-85 utilizes a crawler drive system, which is essential for maintaining traction in challenging or uneven terrain. It offers flexible transmission configurations, including 8-speed and 16-speed options. These gearboxes provide a range of forward and reverse speeds—specifically 8 forward/4 reverse, 8 forward/8 reverse, or 16 forward/8 reverse—allowing the operator to match the machine's speed precisely to the implement requirements.
Hydraulics and PTO
For implement operation, the tractor features a rear lift capacity of 8201 lbs (3719 kg). The rear Power Take-Off (PTO) is standard at 540 RPM, with optional configurations available for 540/1000 RPM or 540/750 RPM to accommodate various types of towed or mounted equipment.
Dimensions and Weight
The machine is built on a 158 cm wheelbase and operates on 12.2-inch wide tracks, which distribute the tractor's weight to minimize soil compaction. The total operating weight ranges between 7937 and 8157 pounds (approximately 3600 to 3700 kg), ensuring a stable platform for heavy draft applications.
Conclusion
The Fiat 72-85 is a robust crawler tractor engineered for performance in difficult terrain where traditional wheeled tractors may lack sufficient traction. Its combination of a reliable 70 hp diesel engine, versatile transmission options, and substantial lifting capacity makes it a professional-grade tool for intensive agricultural tasks.
