Introduction
Fiat 955C Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The Fiat 955C is an agricultural crawler tractor produced between 1981 and 1984. Designed for heavy-duty field operations, this model is built to provide significant traction and stability in demanding terrain, serving as a standard utility machine for professional agricultural applications.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the Fiat 8055 diesel engine, a 5-cylinder liquid-cooled unit with a displacement of 4.6 liters (279 ci). It utilizes direct injection for fuel efficiency and features a dry air cleaner. The engine produces 88 hp (65.6 kW) at a rated speed of 2500 RPM, providing consistent torque for cultivation and traction tasks.
Transmission and Drive System
The mechanical drivetrain consists of a gear-type transmission offering 8 forward and 4 reverse speeds. Power is transferred to the tracks through spur gear final drives, supported by a 304.8 mm wet disc clutch. Braking is managed by a band brake system, ensuring precise control of the crawler unit.
Hydraulics and PTO
The 955C is equipped with an open-center hydraulic system, delivering a pump flow of 11 gpm (41.6 lpm) at a pressure of 2460 psi (169.6 bar). It features between 2 and 4 rear valves for implement operation. The independent rear PTO operates at 540 RPM, achieved at an engine speed of 2227 RPM.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
The tractor has a base weight of 13,051 lbs (5,919 kg) and is supported by 19.7-inch wide tracks, which distribute the machine's weight to minimize soil compaction. For operator protection, the unit includes a two-post Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) equipped with a canopy.
Conclusion
The Fiat 955C is a specialized machine suited for agricultural environments where high traction and low ground pressure are required. Its robust mechanical construction and reliable engine make it a durable choice for primary tillage and heavy-duty field work.
