Fiat 44-28

The Fiat 44-28 is part of the brand's 44 series of tractors, specifically developed for a wide range of agricultural tasks. This model was manufactured in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada under the Versatile brand for Fiat between the years 1979 and 1982, marking a period where such tractors represented the fusion of rugged design and the burgeoning integration of comfort in utility vehicles. Equipped with a robust Cummins NT855 engine that musters a 280 horsepower output at 2100 RPM, the Fiat 44-28 is noteworthy for its six-cylinder, turbocharged, liquid-cooled engine, offering impressive durability and reliability. The tractor's helical gear transmission, ensuring 12 forward speeds and 3 reverse speeds, complements its solid engine performance, facilitating versatile operations across a myriad of farming activities. This model's 4WD chassis and articulated power steering provide the tractor with excellent mobility and maneuverability. A feature such as the air-conditioned cab was relatively advanced for its time, showcasing the transition towards more operator comfort even during extended periods of work. With substantial lifting capacity at the hitch and independent rear PTO capabilities, the Fiat 44-28 remains a significant example of this era's agri-industrial machinery.
