FIAT 55-76 ENGINE
The Fiat 55-76 tractor is equipped with a 2.7L 3-cylinder diesel engine, delivering a balance of power and fuel efficiency, which is ideal for small to medium agricultural tasks. Its compact size enhances maneuverability in tight fields, but the limited horsepower may challenge performance in heavier-duty applications. Consider using this model for light tillage, mowing, or loading operations where a smaller footprint is beneficial.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Fiat 55-76 features a partially synchronized 12-speed transmission with an additional 20-speed creeper, allowing for advanced maneuverability and precision during low-speed operations. The mechanical shuttle provides efficient direction changes without clutching, enhancing productivity in tasks such as plowing or transporting loads. However, the complexity of the transmission system may require specialized maintenance, which could be a consideration for operators in remote areas.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Fiat 55-76 features a partially synchronized transmission with 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, allowing for versatile speed selection across a wide range of operational scenarios. However, the requirement to stop and engage the clutch for range shifting may reduce operational efficiency in dynamic conditions, like plowing or tilling. This design is advantageous for precise control in low-speed applications but can be a challenge in high-demand tasks where quick gear changes are necessary.
| Type | partially synchronized |
| Gears | 12 forward and 4 reverse |
| Clutch | 254mm dry disc |
| Description | Four synchronized gears (1-4) in three ranges (I-III) plus reverse range. Tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, to shift range |

TRANSMISSION 2
The Fiat 55-76 tractor's mechanical shuttle system enables efficient direction changes without clutching, ideal for tasks requiring frequent forward-reverse movement. Notably, its 12 forward and reverse gears provide versatility across varying terrains, while the dry disc clutch, at 254mm, ensures durability under load but may require more maintenance than wet clutches. This tractor is well-suited for small to medium-sized farms, optimizing productivity in tillage and loader operations.

TRANSMISSION 3
The Fiat 55-76 tractor features a creeper gear option, significantly expanding its versatility for tasks requiring lower speeds, such as tilling or precision planting. With a total of 20 forward and 8 reverse gears, it allows for precise control over speed and torque, enhancing overall operational efficiency. The 254mm dry disc clutch provides robust engagement, although maintaining clutch performance may require attentive maintenance to prevent wear during intensive use.

MECHANICAL
The Fiat 55-76 tractor offers versatile drivetrain options with both 2WD and 4WD configurations, enhancing traction in diverse terrains. Its mechanical rear differential lock enhances stability during challenging field operations, while power steering adds convenience for maneuverability. The selection of a 12-speed or 20-speed creeper transmission facilitates precise speed control for tasks such as plowing or planting, though the partially synchronized transmission may pose challenges in quick gear changes.

FIAT 55-76 TIRES
The Fiat 55-76 tractor's 2WD configurations, available in both 9.5-28 and 11.2-24 rear tire sizes, optimize maneuverability and fuel efficiency, ideal for light to moderate agricultural tasks. The 4WD variant, with larger front and rear tires, offers enhanced traction and stability on uneven terrain, making it suitable for heavier implements or challenging field conditions. However, two-wheel drive may struggle in wet or hilly environments, potentially hindering productivity; thus, selecting between 2WD and 4WD should depend on specific operational needs and soil conditions.
