วีดีโอ

My Grandfather drove one, and at 3 years old, I shat myself at the noise lol

Don’t care where machines are made, as long as they are reliable and do the job well

Wir werden Ende des Jahres unseren 2140 gegen einen 5095M tauschen.

I have enjoyed your video,especially the comments from around the world. Concerning the colour of DB tractors they were mainly red up to the mid sixties first of all “hunting pink” then poppy with yellow wheels. DB was entering the US market by supplying the 850 and 950 tractors badged as Oliver 500 and 600, these were painted green. An opportunity arose to sell tractors as David Brown when a number of Ford dealers lost their franchise. These were implematics but painted white and brown to match their other franchise of Howard Bowlen . This colour stood out and soon all DBs had this colour scheme.When Tenneco affiliated Case and DB initially DBs continued white and brown but soon changed to white and power red. In 1984 they became white and black and later red and black with CaseIH badging. There were runs of other colours for certain customers but these were the main ones.

Another great video thanks. Very informative

We started with a 780DT a 1180DT then a couple of 160-90 DT. I Would love to have the last 160-90 a 1992 model.

Lots of research there Alan. Never bitten by the Fiat bug. I think they are like marmite, love them or hate them. Great sounding tractor tho 👌

Thanks again for the channel and all the great video's. I'm with you on the the John Deere tractors. I would happily work on any John Deere 30,40 and 50 series tractors and sell them. I would love to lay my hands on a 1750 or 1950 John Deere to renovate

Fiat 90 series is still produced in China. CNH sold license and tooling for 90 series in the early 2000s to the Chinese YTO. I own 130hp YTO 7.7L naturally aspirated engine, and it is a beast. And if Chinese copy pulls like hell, I can only imagine what original 90 series are capable of.

Brilliant channel, those 50 series deere's are my all time favourite tractors

Brilliant informative video. Lots of the 90 series around my area. Used to drive a 100-90 on my grandparents farm. As mad about them now as i was 30 years ago. The definition of reliability

Great info as always..Great tractors in there day drove various models but liked the f series the most.. they were ahead of their time..

Owned and operated, 450, 550, 640, 750, 780, 880 and an 82-94 on dairy farms all were very reliable, also found Fiat engines to have lots of torque. Cool video

Work own a darsy farm in NZ everyone thought I was mad I would be the 1st people the farm in the morning and alway jump into the legendary110 90 to load straw instead of the john Deere, an case with therewith all the window in tact dry seat an heaters, in the hart of winter the cab had now doors roof rotted an leaked no heater an grass growing inside the cab. The 110 90 listening to that six cylinder turbo engine roar and ll round fun tractor to drive

Well done, great video, 2 neighbors had fiat 110/90 and 80/90 i think….famous horse trainers childhood house….you always knew when there was one coming some roar out of those engines 🤣

"Fiat tractors have achieved a legendry status in Ireland"(southern star). And, "Have a cult like following, especially in the republic of Ireland"( Classis Tractor)👏. We ourselves have a 130/90 dt on the farm. She's some yoke to pull and sounds savage under load. Those Fiat- iveco engines are bombproof. Some of the bigger Fiats, like the180/90 with it's massive 8.1 litre engine can (if tweeked) put out HUGE, reliable hp .I think the Fiat G 190 gets good praise as a continuation of the brand, albeit with it's slightly smaller 7.5 litre Ford engine. Just wondering, would it be possible to do a video on Fiat- iveco engines and if their is any relation between them and the powerstar engine found in Ford? It can all get a bit confusing at times😅. Anyhow, thank you for an excellent video. You got a new subscriber . 👍

I want the FIAT back on its own.

As a result of the takeover of NH and Case, Fiat had to divest of Hesston and Laverda, which were bought by AGCO/MF. Also the Case/International brands had to be sold off to create McCormick International. It was a very exciting, volatile and confusing time, the 1990’s. I run what is essentially a blue modified Fiat Winner series with Ford Powerstar engine in the form of a NH 8360 which later morphed into the hugely popular TM series of tractors.

As always Alan, A pleasure to view your latest video on a Sunday 🙂 All the best Dave.

Great video - FYI Kubota licensed the design for the 6030/7030/8030 here in the US - many sold especially the BT7030N in vines. Keep up the good work!

Great research Alan and very enjoyable video..I spread dung with a Ruscon side flinger pulled by a FIAT 880 around 1988..

I worked on a dairy farm in my teens in the 90s, had a clapped out JD 2130, in 1995 he traded it in for a Landini , but it somehow got lost on its way from Italy so the dealer offered a Fiat-New Holland 82-94 ,absolute brute for a stock tractor , one of the best looking tractors ever too. I never refused overtime I lived in that tractor .

I remember my da looking at a 880dt in mid seventies at the spring show. Imported by Bamfords at that point. Didn’t buy but would have been some machine at that time.

Great video Alan . The fiat tractors were unreal. Engines were just amazing some up to 15000 hours not an oil leak start first time always. The fiat Agri Heston self propelled silage harvesters were ahead of their time a lot of hydrostatic drive trains. There was a very good dealer in Cork the 7720 / 7725 / and 7735 were huge sellers in Munster and great harvesters in their day. New Holland combines the TX and 80series had a lot of fiat engines installed again great machines. The key to the success of fiat engines seems to be they run at very high speeds up to 3000 revolutions. They were absolutely unbeatable on pto as a result driving mowers and silage harvesters . Thanks

Brilliant Alan. Worked with a 90-90 and 110-90 years ago. Best gripping tractor I have ever driven. Real simple tractor as well. Rust was one of the biggest issues, the 90-90 rotted away in the end.

Loved those tractors the 110-90 lovely looking tractors with a unique beautiful sound.

Alan, excellent stuff. Keep the videos coming. I keep meaning to comment every week, but at least I have gotten around to it this week.

Nice one Alan, great video The 110 90 is the star of the show

Great stuff, worked with Fiat tractors in the 80s great tractors pity the name and colour disappeared

Awesome vid i just wish i could remember tractor numbers. My first time i drive Fiat was 1000 with little super spreader, the front wheels would lift off the ground, little zippy tractor. Years later my uncle brought 1950's Fiat crawler for cleaning land, at time it need love n care, to my surprise uncle said he got genuine parts out of original box very similar to my Pa Catapiller D4. My boss has Fiat L85? cab at same time NH 80 version both these i like using simple, smooth operating, easy service n you can still find them. Next door neighbour had M135 or M160 when we got our first NH TM125, alot farmers got TM in district. One harvest in southern Qld i ask two Irish fellas why did they like Fiat tractors? One of them rip out mobile phone n show me Fiat 90? with Turbo, racing up the road with nice exhaust note n turbo blow off, very NICE. I do remember seen nice clean Fiatagri combine at Neil Parts Dubbo, i never seen on before, unfortunately it went for swim over cliff into river.

Great video, a lot of facts and series numbers etc , enjoyed

I’ll take first then

Great video Alan, hope Ye had a nice break, Thank You👍🙏😎

A dairy farmer near me had a Nuffied 460 from 1970 to 1987 it was a Great tractor, and I'm a JD. man .

I have heard of Austin tractors first made in the UK later in France. A better tractor then the Fordson tractor

My father bought a new 996 with a Q cab in 1980 for £6600 and a new 1490 in 1983 for £8800.

Great history, some information for you. My Grandmother on my Mums side was related to Herbert Austin , I remember been told as a kid 🙂

Heard of Austin cars but never tractors. Nice one Alan.👍👍

Ok

Hi Alan good info, I don't think I ever saw one, we're they the forerunner to Nuffield, Leyland.

Nice bit of history there Alan. Had heard of the Austin tractor, but never knew much about them. Thanks for sharing 👍

Nice one Alan Very interesting video We're they isobus compatible or maybe not 🤔

Never even heard of an Austin tractor. Good video.
