Fiat 400

The Fiat 400 is a utility tractor that was made from 1968 to 1971. It's a small, simple tractor that's good for basic farm work. The tractor has a 2-wheel drive system and a gear transmission with 6 forward gears and 2 reverse gears. Under the hood, the Fiat 400 has a 3-cylinder diesel engine made by Fiat. The engine is liquid-cooled and naturally aspirated, which means it doesn't use a turbocharger. It produces 38 horsepower, which is below average for tractors. The engine size is also on the smaller side. Despite its small size, the tractor has a very good lifting capacity of 3,090 pounds at the rear hitch. The Fiat 400 weighs 3,750 pounds, which is lighter than many other tractors. This tractor has an open operator station, which means there's no cab to protect the driver from the weather. It has a rear PTO (Power Take-Off) that spins at 540 rpm, which is standard for many farm implements. The Fiat 400 is compact, measuring 124.8 inches long, 63.8 inches wide, and 51.6 inches tall. This small size makes it easy to maneuver in tight spaces around the farm.
