Introduction

Fiat M115 Agricultural Tractor

The Fiat M115 is a high-capacity agricultural tractor produced between 1996 and 1999 in England. Part of the M-series range, this model was designed to handle demanding field operations, offering versatility through various transmission configurations and a robust 6-cylinder engine architecture.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a 7.5-liter, 6-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. It produces 115 horsepower at a rated engine speed of 2200 RPM. The engine features a compression ratio of 17.5:1 and is equipped with a 12-volt starter system. Its design is intended for consistent power delivery during heavy-duty agricultural tasks.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The M115 offers multiple transmission options to suit different operational needs, including the partially synchronized Dual Command and the partial power shift Range Command systems. Depending on the configuration, operators can utilize up to 23 forward and 12 reverse gears. The drivetrain is available in a standard 4x2 2WD layout, with an optional 4x4 MFWD configuration for improved traction. Differential locks and wet disc brakes are standard to ensure precise control.

Hydraulics and Hitch

Equipped with a closed-center load-sensing hydraulic system, the M115 provides a pump flow of 26 gpm (98.4 lpm) at a system pressure of 2755 psi (190 bar). This system supports between 2 and 4 hydraulic valves, facilitating the operation of complex implements. The rear Type II hitch provides a lift capacity of 8,500 lbs (3855 kg), while the independent rear PTO offers dual speeds of 540 and 1000 RPM.

Dimensions and Handling

The tractor is built on a wheelbase of 108.3 inches (275 cm) for the 2WD model, with an overall length of 180 inches (457 cm). It features hydrostatic power steering to reduce operator fatigue. Adjustable tread widths for both front and rear axles allow the machine to be adapted for various row crop applications and track requirements.

Conclusion

The Fiat M115 is a versatile mid-range tractor suitable for professional agricultural operations that require reliable power, significant hydraulic performance, and multiple gearing options for varied field speeds.
