TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Fiat 1180 tractor features a 12-speed transmission with an optional 24-speed creeper gear, providing versatile speed control ideal for various implements and field conditions. Its 12-speed mechanical shuttle enhances maneuverability, allowing for smooth direction changes without clutch engagement, which is advantageous during loader tasks. However, operators may need time to adapt to the range of gears, especially when comparing the performance with competitors' hydrostatic systems for ease of use.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Fiat 1180 tractor features a 12 forward and 4 reverse gear configuration, allowing for versatile speed selection and maneuverability across varied terrains. Its cerametallic dry disc clutch (355.6 mm) provides enhanced durability and efficient power transfer, beneficial for heavy-duty applications. However, operators must manage clutch wear and engagement sensitivity, particularly in demanding tasks like tillage or hauling.

TRANSMISSION 2
The Fiat 1180 tractor features a comprehensive gearbox with 24 forward and 8 reverse gears, providing excellent torque management and precision control for various tasks from tilling to heavy hauling. The inclusion of a creeper gear enhances its low-speed maneuverability, ideal for applications requiring precision, such as row crop farming or working in confined spaces. While the cerametallic dry disc clutch offers durability and performance, its maintenance demands should be considered for optimal operation.

MECHANICAL
The Fiat 1180 tractor offers a versatile drivetrain configuration with both 2WD and 4WD (MFWD) options, enhancing traction and stability on varied terrains, beneficial for farming and heavy-duty applications. The hydrostatic power steering provides responsive handling, while the wet disc brakes enhance stopping power and reduce wear, crucial for safety during field operations. With transmission options including a 12-speed mechanical shuttle, it caters to diverse operational needs, though the absence of a continuously variable transmission (CVT) may limit efficiency in certain applications.

FIAT 1180 TIRES
The Fiat 1180 tractor features a robust 4WD system with Ag front tires of sizes 11.00-16 and 13.6-28, which enhances traction on diverse terrain and improves stability during heavy-duty operations. The rear Ag tires sized at 16.9-38 provide substantial flotation and grip, making it suitable for larger implements in agricultural applications. However, the large tire sizes may lead to increased ground compaction, necessitating careful consideration of soil conditions during farm operations.
