ENGINE DETAIL

The Fiat 460 tractor features a robust 2.3L 3-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine with a direct injection fuel system, providing an efficient power output of 48hp at 2600 RPM, ideal for moderate utility tasks. Its 17:1 compression ratio contributes to improved fuel efficiency and torque, making it suitable for agricultural applications with varied load conditions. However, the relatively lower power rating may present challenges for heavy-duty tasks, necessitating careful selection of implements to maximize operational efficiency.

FIAT 460 ENGINE

The Fiat 460 features a robust 2.3L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing a balance of power and fuel efficiency ideal for light to mid-duty agricultural tasks. With a 14.3-gallon fuel tank, it offers extended operational time, reducing downtime for refueling during long hours of work. However, operators may experience challenges in high-demand scenarios due to the limited engine capacity compared to larger tractors, which could necessitate more frequent use of lower gear ranges.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Fiat 460 equipped with an 8-speed transmission and a 12-speed creeper gear offers a versatile range of torque and speed suitable for various agricultural tasks. This dual transmission system allows for enhanced maneuverability, especially in applications requiring precise handling at low speeds, such as plowing or cultivating in tight spaces. However, the complexity of the gear system may present a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multiple gear configurations.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Fiat 460 tractor features an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse gearbox, providing versatility for various agricultural tasks. The presence of a synchronized gear shift can enhance operator efficiency during field operations, allowing for smooth transitions between different speeds. However, the specific clutch type (tran1name) may necessitate maintenance considerations, influencing overall operational costs and performance reliability in demanding environments.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Fiat 460 tractor features a creeper transmission, enhancing its versatility with 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, allowing for precise speed control during implement work. The optional creeper gear provides an additional low range, making it ideal for applications requiring slow speeds, such as tilling or planting in tight spaces. However, the complexity of the transmission system may require more maintenance and operator training to fully utilize its capabilities.

MECHANICAL

The Fiat 460 tractor is equipped with a 4x2 two-wheel drive (2WD) or 4x4 mechanical front-wheel drive (MFWD) configuration, offering versatility for various field conditions. Its 8-speed gearbox facilitates efficient speed management, while the optional 12-speed creeper transmission allows for precise low-speed operations, ideal for tasks like tilling or planting in tight spaces. The standard cab enhances operator comfort, although the 2WD option may limit traction on uneven terrain compared to the MFWD.

FIAT 460 TIRES

The Fiat 460 tractor features standard agricultural tires, providing good traction for various terrain, with 2WD and 4WD configurations enhancing its versatility. The 6.00-16 front tires on 2WD models allow for easier maneuverability in tight spaces, while the 8.00-20 front tires on 4WD models excel in stability and load-bearing capacity, making them suitable for heavier implements. However, 2WD may struggle in slippery conditions compared to 4WD, which is preferable for challenging fields or uneven terrain.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Fiat 460 tractor's wheelbase of 76.8 inches (195 cm) offers good stability for maneuverability in tight agricultural spaces, but may limit high-speed transport efficiency. With a weight range of 4,409 to 5,137 pounds, this tractor strikes a balance between adequate traction and ease of transport, though increased weight could influence soil compaction in certain conditions. The 2WD configuration with front tire size 6.00-16 and rear tire size 13.6/12-28 provides sufficient power for moderate field tasks, but may present challenges in wet or challenging terrain compared to a 4WD system.
