Introduction
Fiat 80-76 Orchard and Vineyard Tractor
The Fiat 80-76 is a specialized tractor designed for orchard and vineyard operations, produced between 1990 and 1992 as part of the 70-76 series. It is a compact, diesel-powered utility tractor engineered for maneuverability and efficiency in confined agricultural environments.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the liquid-cooled Fiat 8045.05 diesel engine. This 4-cylinder unit features a 3.9-liter displacement and generates 78.9 horsepower (58.8 kW) at a rated speed of 2500 RPM. It utilizes a compression ratio of 17:1 and a dry-type air cleaner.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 80-76 offers three transmission configurations to suit various operational needs: a 12-speed partially synchronized version, a 12-speed mechanical shuttle, and a 20-speed creeper shuttle version. All configurations utilize a dry disc clutch. The tractor is available in both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive variants, featuring planetary final drives and a mechanical rear differential lock for enhanced traction.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is an open-center design providing a pump flow of 8.7 gpm (32.9 lpm) at a system pressure of 2697 psi (186.0 bar). The rear PTO is an independent system, offering 540 RPM at 2200 engine RPM, with an optional 540/1000 RPM configuration available for increased implement compatibility.
