ENGINE DETAIL

The Fiat 60-76 is powered by a robust 3-cylinder diesel engine, delivering 59.1 hp at a moderate rated RPM of 2500, ideal for light to medium-duty agricultural tasks. Its displacement of 2.9L and 17:1 compression ratio indicate efficiency in fuel usage and torque generation, though the dry air cleaner may require more frequent maintenance in dusty environments. The valve clearances (0.010 inches intake, 0.014 inches exhaust) allow for effective thermal expansion management, but precise adjustments are critical for optimal engine performance and longevity.

FIAT 60-76 ENGINE

The Fiat 60-76 tractor is powered by a 2.9L, 3-cylinder diesel engine, which provides efficient fuel economy while delivering adequate power for light to medium agricultural tasks. Its compact size enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, making it suitable for small farms or orchards. However, its lower horsepower may limit its effectiveness for heavier applications, necessitating careful selection of tasks to ensure optimal performance.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Fiat 60-76 tractor features a 12-speed partially synchronized transmission, providing efficient gear shifting for moderate agricultural tasks. The addition of a 20-speed creeper shuttle enhances versatility, enabling precise control at low speeds for operations such as tilling or plowing in tight spaces. However, the complexity of the transmission system may pose challenges in maintenance and driver training.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Fiat 60-76 tractor's partially synchronized gearbox provides a total of 12 forward and 4 reverse speeds, enabling versatile operation across varying terrains. The 279.4mm dry disc clutch requires the tractor to be stationary for range shifting, which can delay transitions between tasks but enhances gear shift precision. For intensive fieldwork, the three-range system allows operators to optimize power delivery, though the need to stop for range changes may impede efficiency in time-sensitive applications.

Gears 12 forward and 4 reverse
Clutch 279.4mm 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 60-76 tractor features a mechanical shuttle with a robust 12-speed gear system, allowing for precise speed control in varied agricultural tasks. Its 254mm dry disc clutch offers effective power transfer while ensuring ease of operation during gear shifts, essential for tasks requiring frequent direction changes. However, the mechanical shuttle may present a learning curve for operators transitioning from hydrostatic systems, impacting productivity in initial use cases.

TRANSMISSION 3

The Fiat 60-76 tractor's creeper shuttle system provides enhanced maneuverability, particularly in tasks requiring low-speed precision, such as planting or cultivating. With a total of 20 forward and 12 reverse gears, operators can efficiently manage a variety of terrain and cropping situations, although the complexity of gear selection may challenge less experienced users. The 254mm dry disc clutch offers robust engagement but can require more maintenance than wet clutches, making it important to monitor for wear, especially under heavy loads.

MECHANICAL

The Fiat 60-76 offers versatile traction options with its 4x2 or 4x4 configurations, making it suitable for various terrains. Its mechanical rear differential lock enhances traction in challenging conditions, while wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power even when towing heavy loads. With a 12-speed or 20-speed transmission featuring a mechanical shuttle, operators can efficiently manage different field tasks, although the complexity of the partially synchronized system may require additional operator training.
