ENGINE DETAIL
The Fiat-Hesston 65-56, powered by a Fiat 8045.06 diesel engine, delivers 65hp at 2500 RPM, making it suitable for medium-duty agricultural tasks. With a compression ratio of 17:1 and direct fuel injection, it promises efficient combustion and torque output, although it may require higher-quality fuel to maintain performance. Key considerations include its liquid-cooled system, which helps prevent overheating during prolonged use, yet may necessitate additional maintenance to ensure optimal cooling efficiency.

HESSTON 65-56 ENGINE
The Fiat-Hesston 65-56 tractor is powered by a 3.6L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering a balance of torque and fuel efficiency, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks. Key advantages include robust power delivery for heavy implements and lower operational costs due to diesel efficiency; however, the 4-cylinder configuration may result in slightly lower power output compared to similar 6-cylinder models. It's ideal for small to medium-sized farms needing reliable performance for plowing, tilling, and hauling applications.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Fiat-Hesston 65-56 tractor features a partially synchronized 8-speed or optional 12-speed transmission, which enhances shifting efficiency and operator comfort during field operations. The ability to select between two transmission ranges allows for versatile speed control, optimizing performance for various agricultural tasks. However, the partial synchronization may present challenges in high-torque applications where precise gearing is critical.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Fiat-Hesston 65-56 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, allowing for versatile speed management in various agricultural scenarios. Its two-range system enhances efficiency by providing smooth gear transitions between lower (I) and higher (II) speeds. However, the partial synchronization may pose challenges in quick gear changes under heavy load conditions, potentially impacting operational efficiency.
| Type |
partially synchronized |
| Gears |
8 forward and 2 reverse |
| Description |
Four gears (1-4), plus reverse (R), in two ranges (I/II) |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Fiat-Hesston 65-56 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, enhancing flexibility for various tasks in the field. Its three-range system allows for effective speed management, particularly advantageous for applications requiring different torque levels, such as plowing or towing. However, the partial synchronization may present challenges during gear shifts under load, necessitating careful operation to avoid gear grinding.

| Description |
Four gears (1-4), plus reverse (R), in three ranges (I, II, and III). |
MECHANICAL
The Fiat-Hesston 65-56 tractor features a versatile 4x2 2WD and 4x4 MFWD configuration, making it suitable for varied terrains but primarily advantageous for stability and traction in challenging conditions. The ROPS with a canopy enhances operator safety and comfort during operation. With an 8-speed or 12-speed partially synchronized transmission, it offers a balance of speed and torque, enhancing efficiency for both agricultural and utility tasks, though synchronization may present a learning curve for new operators.

HESSTON 65-56 TIRES
The Fiat-Hesston 65-56 tractor, available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, features rear tires of 14.9-30, providing substantial traction for tillage and hauling tasks. The 2WD variant with 7.50-16 front tires promotes ease of maintenance and lower operational costs, while the 4WD model, employing 9.5-24 front tires, enhances stability and traction on uneven terrain, albeit at a higher upfront investment. Consideration of soil type and intended use is crucial; 4WD is advantageous in muddy conditions, while 2WD may suffice for lighter, drier applications.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Fiat-Hesston 65-56 tractor offers a robust 2WD option with a significant wheelbase of 85.3 inches, enhancing stability during operations. Weighing between 4,900 to 5,720 pounds, it provides a solid build ideal for medium-duty tasks but may face traction challenges in softer soil without the 4WD option. The combination of 7.50-16 front and 14.9-30 rear tires supports a variety of agricultural applications, benefiting from increased flotation and reduced soil compaction when properly matched to field conditions.
