TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Fiat-Hesston 1880 tractor offers a choice between a 12-speed and a 24-speed transmission, providing flexibility in power delivery and speed management for various agricultural tasks. The 24-speed option allows for finer control over gear selection, which can enhance efficiency in field operations but may present a steeper learning curve for operators. Consider the specific agricultural requirements and terrain; for heavy-duty tasks, the 24-speed may optimize performance, while the 12-speed could simplify operation for less complex applications.

TRANSMISSION 3
The Fiat-Hesston 1880 tractor features a 12-speed transmission offering both forward and reverse gears, enhancing versatility for various agricultural tasks. This multi-speed capability allows for precise speed adjustments in different field conditions, improving operational efficiency. However, managing a higher gear count may require additional skill during implementation, particularly for less experienced operators.
| Gears |
12 forward and reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Fiat-Hesston 1880 tractor offers a versatile 4x2 or optional 4WD configuration, enhancing traction and stability across various terrains. Its hydrostatic power steering provides precise maneuverability, while the differential hydraulic wet disc brakes ensure effective stopping power even in demanding conditions. The standard Supercomfort cab with air conditioning improves operator comfort, allowing for prolonged usage during hotter months, making it an excellent choice for intensive agricultural tasks.
