TRANSMISSION 1
The Fiat M100 features a partially synchronized Dual Command transmission with 23 forward and 12 reverse gears, allowing for versatile operation in various conditions. Its wet disc clutch enables smooth engagement, while the left-hand shuttle lever and push-button underdrive facilitate seamless forward-reverse shifts without halting the tractor. However, shifting between ranges requires stopping, which may limit efficiency during tasks that require frequent range changes. The optional creeper gear expands speed options to 46 forward and 24 reverse, enhancing maneuverability for precise operations.
| Transmission | Dual Command |
| Type | partially synchronized |
| Gears | 23 forward and 12 reverse |
| Clutch | wet disc |
| Oil capacity | 76.8qts / 72.7L |
| Description | Four gears (1-4) in three ranges (A-C) with left-hand shuttle lever and push-button underdrive. Gear shifts may be made on the move with the clutch. The tractor must be stopped to shift range. The forward-reverse shuttle, and the push-button underdrive, may be performed on the move without the clutch. Reverse gears operate in underdrive only. Optional creeper doubles the available speeds to 46 forward and 24 reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Fiat M100 features a 17-speed Range Command transmission with a partial power shift system, providing versatile speed options ideal for various field conditions but necessitating operator familiarity with its unique shifting mechanism. The wet disc clutch enhances durability and reduces slippage, although it may require careful maintenance to prevent overheating during extensive use. The optional creeper gear set effectively expands operational flexibility, allowing for precision tasks such as tillage or delicate maneuvering in confined spaces.
| Transmission | Range Command |
| Type | partial power shift |
| Gears | 17 forward and 6 reverse |
| Clutch | wet disc |
| Oil capacity | 94.8qts / 89.7L |
| Description | The 17-speed Range Command transmission was available with 2WD. Six gears (1-6) in three ranges (A-C) with left-hand shuttle lever. Push-button gear shifting on the move. To shift ranges, hold up or down gear shift button while pressing range shift button. Reverse is available in range B only. Optional creeper increases available speeds to 30 forward and 12 in reverse |
TRANSMISSION 3
The Fiat M100 features an 18-speed Range Command partial power shift transmission, enabling smooth gear transitions and precise speed control, which optimizes performance for various field applications. Its wet disc clutch system offers enhanced durability and reduced wear, but requires regular maintenance for optimal functioning. The optional creeper gear provides versatility, allowing for very slow speeds ideal for delicate tasks like seed bed preparation or precise planting, making the M100 suitable for a range of agricultural operations.
| Transmission | Range Command |
| Type | partial power shift |
| Gears | 18 forward and 6 reverse |
| Clutch | wet disc |
| Oil capacity | 94.8qts / 89.7L |
| Description | The 18-speed Range Command transmission was available with 4WD. Six gears (1-6) in three ranges (A-C) with left-hand shuttle lever. Push-button gear shifting on the move. To shift ranges, hold up or down gear shift button while pressing range shift button. Reverse is available in range B only. Optional creeper increases available speeds to 31 and 12 |
MECHANICAL
The Fiat M100 tractor features a versatile drivetrain with optional 4WD, enhancing traction in variable terrain, which is ideal for both agricultural and construction tasks. Its advanced transmission options, including a 23-speed partially synchronized transmission, allow for precise control, making it suitable for diverse applications, though the complexity may present a learning curve for operators. The hydrostatic power steering paired with a differential hydraulic wet disc braking system offers improved handling and safety but may lead to increased maintenance demands over time.
