It came with the option of a 2WD or a 4WD chassis and features a Fiat 8045.05, 4-cylinder, diesel engine rated at 80 hp with a displacement of 238.5 ci. The liquid-cooled engine operates at a rated RPM of 2500, assisted by an electric starter with pre-heating and a compression ratio of 17:1 for colder climates. This model includes a power steering system for easier maneuverability. The transmission offerings are varied, including partially synchronized, mechanical shuttle, and creeper options, with up to 20 forward and 8 reverse gears. The tractor rides on agricultural standard tires and has a three-point hitch system (assumed from Rear Type II), for which the category is assumed to be 2. The heaviest operative 4WD configuration reaches approximately 6535 pounds in weight. A distinct feature is its hydraulic system, which utilizes an open center design. The exact dimensions and weight suggest a sturdy and durable design suitable for multiple types of agricultural work. Additional specifications like PTO speeds and braking system design are not provided.
