FIAT 980 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Fiat 980 tractor, equipped with a robust 5.2L diesel engine, delivers 98hp at 2400 RPM, ensuring efficient power for agricultural tasks. Its oil bath air cleaner contributes to engine longevity, while a 17:1 compression ratio enhances fuel efficiency; however, be aware that maintenance of an oil bath system can be more complex than dry air filters. The 6-cylinder configuration offers smooth power delivery but may result in higher overall weight, which could affect maneuverability in tight spaces.

FIAT 980 ENGINE
The Fiat 980 tractor is powered by a robust 5.2L 6-cylinder diesel engine, offering reliable torque for heavy-duty applications. With a fuel tank capacity of 30.6 gallons (115.8 liters), it provides extended operational efficiency, making it suitable for long working hours without frequent refueling. However, the engine's size may lead to higher maintenance costs and fuel consumption, which should be considered when operating at maximum load.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Fiat 980 tractor features a 12-speed synchronized transmission, allowing for smooth gear shifting under load, which is beneficial for field operations requiring variable speed control. Additionally, the 16-speed creeper gear option enhances low-speed torque, ideal for precision tasks like plowing or tilling in challenging soil conditions. However, operators should be aware that the increased complexity of the creeper gear may require additional maintenance and operator training to maximize efficiency.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Fiat 980 tractor features a synchronized transmission with 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, enhancing operational efficiency and ease of shifting under load. Its dry disc clutch provides durability and reduced maintenance needs, though it may require more pedal effort compared to wet clutches. In scenarios involving varied terrain or heavy implements, the gear range allows for optimal speed and torque management, improving productivity.

MECHANICAL
The Fiat 980 tractor features a versatile 4x2 or 4x4 configuration, making it suitable for both light and heavy-duty applications. Its power steering enhances maneuverability, while wet disc brakes provide superior stopping power and durability under various conditions. The availability of a synchronized 12-speed or a 16-speed creeper transmission allows for precise control, especially in applications requiring fine adjustments, such as tilling or plowing.

FIAT 980 TIRES
The Fiat 980 tractor, featuring a 2WD configuration with standard agricultural tires (12.4/11-28), presents a balance between stability and maneuverability in field operations. The larger rear tires (16.9/14-38) enhance traction during plowing and heavy-load tasks, but the 2WD system may limit performance on uneven terrain or in slick conditions. Optimal for moderate farming activities, the Fiat 980 is a solid choice for those prioritizing cost-efficiency over advanced traction capabilities.
