FIAT 80-76 ENGINE

The Fiat 80-76 tractor is equipped with a 3.9L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing reliable power for medium agricultural tasks. Key advantages include its efficient fuel consumption and robust torque delivery, which enhances its performance in plowing and tilling operations. However, its older design may present challenges in terms of parts availability and modern technology integration, making it essential to consider compatibility with contemporary attachments.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Fiat 80-76 features a 12-speed partially synchronized transmission coupled with a mechanical shuttle, allowing for smoother gear transitions and versatility in various operations. The optional 20-speed creeper shuttle enhances low-speed maneuverability, making it ideal for precision tasks such as tilling or planting in tight spaces. However, the complexity of the transmission may require more maintenance and operator training to fully utilize its capabilities.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Fiat 80-76 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission, offering 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, which provides versatility for various farming operations at different speeds. The dry disc clutch, measuring 279.4mm, ensures effective power transfer but requires the tractor to stop for range shifts, potentially hampering operational efficiency in time-sensitive tasks. This setup is advantageous in applications requiring frequent speed adjustments, yet it may not be ideal for tasks demanding rapid gear changes without stopping.

Type partially synchronized
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 80-76 features a mechanical shuttle with 12 forward and reverse gears, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces, particularly in farming applications where quick direction changes are beneficial. The 279.4mm dry disc clutch offers durability and efficient power transfer, though it may require more frequent adjustments compared to hydraulic systems. Its four synchronized gears across three ranges provide optimal versatility for various tasks, making it suitable for both fieldwork and transport.

TRANSMISSION 3

The Fiat 80-76 features a creeper shuttle transmission with a total of 20 forward and 12 reverse gears, providing excellent versatility for varied applications, especially in tight spaces or special tasks like tilling. The 254mm dry disc clutch allows for smooth engagement and disengagement, though it may require regular maintenance for optimal performance. The mechanical reverser enhances operational efficiency, but operators should be mindful of potential complexity when transitioning between ranges in demanding conditions.

Gears 20 forward and 12 reverse
Clutch 254mm dry disc
Description Four synchronized gears (1-4) in three ranges (I-III) with mechanical reverser and creeper. The shuttle-creeper lever is moved forward or back for direction control. Pushing the lever down and forward engages the creeper range.

MECHANICAL

The Fiat 80-76 tractor features a robust 4x2 2WD or optional 4x4 MFWD 4WD chassis, providing versatility for varied terrains. Its mechanical rear differential lock enhances traction in challenging conditions, while the 12-speed partially synchronized transmission allows for precise speed adjustments during operation. The wet disc brakes offer superior stopping power, and the two-post mid-mount ROPS provides adequate operator safety, making it suitable for both fieldwork and transport tasks.

FIAT 80-76 TIRES

The Fiat 80-76 tractor's 2WD configuration with 5.50-16 front and 12.4-28 rear tires offers agility and better maneuverability on flat terrain, making it ideal for smaller farms. In contrast, the 4WD variant fitted with larger 7.50-18 front and 12.4/11-28 rear tires enhances traction and stability, particularly in muddy or uneven conditions, but may be less efficient in fuel usage. Ultimately, the choice between 2WD and 4WD depends on operational requirements, such as terrain type and load demands.
