HESSTON 60-56 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Fiat-Hesston 60-56 tractor is powered by a 2.9L three-cylinder diesel engine with direct injection, providing efficient fuel combustion and a 60hp output at 2500 RPM. Its 17:1 compression ratio ensures robust torque and power delivery, making it suitable for moderate farming tasks and utility applications. Consider the engine's relatively low RPM range, which may limit top-end speed in certain field operations, but enhances fuel efficiency and engine longevity.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Fiat-Hesston 60-56 tractor features an 8-speed and partially synchronized 12-speed transmission, offering flexibility in various field conditions and improved speed control. The partially synchronized system allows for smoother gear shifts, minimizing the risk of transmission wear under load, but may require operator finesse to optimize performance. This tractor is well-suited for medium-duty agricultural tasks, potentially excelling in both tillage and transport scenarios.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Fiat-Hesston 60-56 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, which enhances operational flexibility across varying terrain. Its four primary gears in two ranges (I/II) facilitate efficient power delivery for both light and heavy tasks, although the partial synchronization may limit smooth shifting under load compared to fully synchronized options. This design is suitable for agricultural applications that require versatility and simple gear management, making it ideal for medium-duty farming operations.

TRANSMISSION 2
The Fiat-Hesston 60-56 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, enhancing operational flexibility across varying terrains. This gear configuration allows for efficient speed adjustments in different ranges (I, II, III), making it advantageous for tasks requiring quick shifts between power and speed, such as cultivation or hauling. However, the partially synchronized system may present challenges in gear shifting under load, necessitating operator skill to prevent gear grinding.

MECHANICAL
The Fiat-Hesston 60-56 tractor features a versatile drivetrain with options for both 2WD and 4WD, allowing for adaptability across various terrains and improving traction in adverse conditions. The ROPS with canopy enhances operator safety while providing adequate protection during operation. Its 8-speed or 12-speed partially synchronized transmissions offer smooth shifting, making it suitable for a range of agricultural tasks, though the 8-speed may limit options for more precise speed control in specialized applications.

HESSTON 60-56 TIRES
The Fiat-Hesston 60-56 tractor features 2WD with standard agricultural tires, providing adequate traction for general farming tasks. The front tire size of 9.5-24 and rear size of 16.9-28 offer a balanced footprint for stability and load-carrying capacity, though the lack of 4WD may limit performance in wet or uneven terrain. Operators should consider potential challenges during wet field conditions; however, the simplicity of 2WD enhances maintenance accessibility and reduces initial costs.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Fiat-Hesston 60-56 tractor, with a 79.2-inch wheelbase and a weight of 5,105 lbs, provides a compact yet stable platform suitable for small to medium farm operations. Its 2WD configuration, supported by front tires of size 7.50-16 and rear tires of 16.9-28, offers decent traction on softer soils but may struggle with stability on uneven terrain or during heavy loads. Ideal for lighter tillage and pulling smaller implements, the tractor's limitations in 4WD may restrict its effectiveness in more challenging agricultural scenarios or hilly landscapes.
