Introduction
SAME Drago 120: Technical Overview
The SAME Drago 120 is a high-horsepower agricultural tractor produced between 1978 and 1986. Engineered as a heavy-duty workhorse, it features the distinct air-cooled engine technology characteristic of the brand during this era, positioning it for demanding field operations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the SAME 1056 P, a 6.2-liter, 6-cylinder air-cooled diesel engine. Utilizing direct injection, it develops a rated power of 115 hp (85.8 kW) at 2070 engine RPM. The cooling system relies on airflow, simplifying maintenance by eliminating the need for a liquid radiator.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The drivetrain offers two configurations: a standard 12-forward and 4-reverse gear transmission, or an optional creeper setup providing 24 forward and 8 reverse speeds. The tractor was available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive variants, supported by a mechanical differential lock and power steering to assist with maneuverability.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system features an open-center design with a pump flow of 9.25 gpm (35.0 lpm) and a system pressure of 2489 psi (171.6 bar). The rear hitch is a Category II type equipped with both position and draft control, enabling a lift capacity of 9347 lbs (4239 kg), suitable for heavy mounted implements.
Braking and Dimensions
Stopping power is provided by mechanical wet disc brakes. The tractor's dimensions vary based on the drive configuration, with the 4WD model weighing approximately 10076 lbs (4570 kg) and offering a ground clearance of 17.3 inches, while the 2WD model provides 22.8 inches of clearance.
Conclusion
The SAME Drago 120 represents a robust, mechanically straightforward design suited for demanding agricultural applications. Its combination of high lift capacity, versatile transmission options, and air-cooled engine reliability makes it a durable choice for field tillage and heavy-duty tasks.
