That old Fiat's were really good tractors, it was very popular here in South Africa, it was marketed and maintained by all our co-ops, we had also two off them I think it was the 780 if I don't mistaken, thanks for bringing this beauty to TH-cam
Jan Kotze glad you had no problems with the FIATs. Their cars had to endure the joke in the 90s Fix-It-Again-Tomorrow
I was excited to get to feature this 1580. There was a 580, 680, 780, 980, 1180, 1380, 1580 and 1880 here in the U.S.
That is nice, thank you
I remember a friend had a car, something went bad with the twin overhead cam, it was a nightmare
Those are the best tractors ever built and im not only saying that wish you could find them and that is one they never should of stoped making i have a 40 hp 4weel drive. And its my best out of all 15 tractors i own they was 10 years ahead of time still feels like im on moderd tractor
Thank you BTP. Been a long time since seeing a Hesston tractor sounds like it is still running good.
The Fiat tractor range were and still are awesome.
Magnificint tractors! As you know I own a 70-90, and I love it! The engines in the fiat tractors will hold on to the bitter end. Actually the engines are still Fiat today in every CNH tractor, known as FPT, or Fiat Power Train. The transmission set up is still the same in the T4 models CNH produces today. Very reliable, and, in my opinion, never has met it's match. Sorry about that JD and Fendt guys. 😋 Thanks for the video! Big thumbs up!👍👍
I was excited to be able to feature a Fiat/Hesston. Hopefully we can get it filmed chopping corn.
Well I own a 70-90 and a 70-90 dt and there very good
thijs de Wit Very good!!
Nothings reliable anymore, far to many electronics, easier times for sure
Good to see some of the "old timers" still out in the field.
It was a nice find. I have a hard time thinking of it as an old timer as I remember them new on the dealer lot. But they are over 30 now.
I also have a hard time thinking of them as old except when my bones crack and pop and remind me that I am older.
👍
If you get the chance come up to Ontario Canada. I run 5 Fiat(Hesston) tractors. Smallest 55-46 with roughly 45 pto hp to the largest 160-90 putting out 165 pto hp. I love my old Fiats.
Great and well-done report... Thanks for posting...!

Glad you liked it. I enjoy finding all brands of tractors and this is a cool one from the 80’s.
I like seeing videos in my home state. Gotta love the finger lakes region.
Me too. I was born in and raised in Rochester, NY.

Thanks for talking over the intire vidio pete haha great tractors we had a local dealer back in the 80s problem is no one sells them used in good shap most of them fiats were the farmers goto tractor hard to find one in great shape
I don't live far from Bath, NY. Most people don't realize ny has such vast farm land
Very interesting. I've never seen one in person. I didn't realize that Fiat made the Hesston brand tractors and how close they are related to CNH. And the bar to hold the door open is a slick feature. That would be a pretty cool addition for tractors with the old Year-Round cabs.
Thank you. Everything you said is exactly why I made the video and what I hoped people would take away from it. Especially the bar on the door I thought that was a neat feature.
nice video
greetings from east frisia
Thank you for watching and commenting.
I happened across this. My Hesston 6066 which I bought in 1987, was brought from Bath, NY , down to North Carolina and it still is excellent. Is presently being used for placement of galvanized culvert drainage pipes. It has no computer components and starts down to 40 degrees without plugging in the block heater.
Very cool. I think this Hesston is not all that far from Bath. My local Hesston dealer growing up was Tri-County Ford in Batavia, NY
That's awesome! Frank Helm sold a bunch of them in the Bath area.
When fiat hesstons came to America they were sure a big hit
I would like to find more to film.
WOW, what a rare find. I remember Ertl made a 1/16th replica for a few years. I hope the reliability was better than FIAT cars.
The Fiat Hesston tractors were and are good machines. Not a common sight today. I hope to feature this tractor chopping corn. I just picked up a 1/16 Scale Models 1880 DT on a wooden plaque from a Hesston dealer meeting. I have several 1/64 Hesston tractors Ertl made in my office.
The reliability on the tractors was bulletproof compared to the 'fix it again tomorrow' cars
Great video BTP.
Glad you liked. This was a unique find to film.

This tractor speaks for itself, it was very revolutionary for its day, I think the tractors from this company are pretty nifty, very solid and reliable.
I was excited to share this Hesston. I hope to show it chopping corn this fall.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it. A Hesston is a harder to find tractor.
never knew Hesston had a line of tractors... never saw one here in Alabama!
They offered them for about 10 Years. Once Fiat acquired New Holland some of the under 100 hp models were sold in the U.S. in NH blue but mainly in vegetable farm regions.
Beautiful.
They are a good looking tractor.
Best tractor ever made!
Great video. The production year range you are quoting, does it only cover the years it was produced in terra-cotta color and imported to the USA? According to other sources, it was originally first produced for the European market in Fiat orange starting in 1975.
Yes the info is only for the Hesston version sold in the United States.
DT: "doppia trazione"
Hear we go they are ahead of time if. Any farmer ran one they want one great tractors like a sports car of tractors heston is great power i think they look good too we have a small one wish we started buying them 30 years ago we rferbished an old fiat sense but its older
Great vid, great find love last Fiat and Claas baler, I wonder how many bales the Claas have done?👍
Thank you for watching. This was a neat combo to share. Hopefully it can be filmed chopping corn this fall. I am not sure on the baler numbers. The farm just traded a round baker to switch to the big bales.
Fiat Power!!
👍
All he was able to show us of the inside was how the doors worked. I would liked to have see the gear set up , hydraulics and other features.
I think the gears were column mounted, driveability wouldn't have been a strong point but they were good performers and reliable
First, thanks for another great video. Your work is greatly appreciated. Second, I assume Claas designed these bailers for use with lower hp tractors (Claas is self powered, correct? ), but most of the videos I see where these bailers are used, the tractor pulling the bailer seems to have plenty of hp to bail hay. 130 pto hp should be plenty I would think. Can you straighten out my way of thinking. I didn't think bailing hay took that much hp. I realize larger bails would take more than small bails but I spent quite a lot of time making small round bails with an old AC pto operated pull bailer behind an AC WD45, which certainly didn't have much hp by today's standards. Thanks in advance for your response.
Very cool on the WD45. Was the AC baler a Roto Baler or Square baler? This Claas is powered through the tractors pto. A 90-100 hp tractor could run a Big Baler but the pto drive really surges back and forth so the bigger the better. I filmed a new 2018 Claas Big Baler on a John Deere 8295R. Despite the tractors size it knew the baler was back there running at almost 9 mph.
sneakysnake109 This baler needs a 200 hp tractor to work comfortable. Especially in haylage.
The density in big square bales is much higher than in round bales or little square bales.
bigtractorpower First, thanks for the response. I had no idea these large bailers took that much hp to run. The ac bailer was a round bailer. My grandpa didn't have much of a barn to store hay in, so used the round bails for their water shedding abilities. Thanks again, love the videos!
jacky bruckers thank you very much. Learning a lot
sneakysnake109 I was told with big balers there are a lot variables like crop, how fit it is, how thick it is etc you then have the typography of the land if it is as smooth as a snooker table or resembles the Himalayas. But you also have the age and size of the baler as well as the make which can cause it to vary greatly as well as the age of the tractor as a number of contractors here have stated with the older tractors they have needed less hp than the modern tractors to run the same machine.
A 3ft x 3ft sounds like what we call a Mini Heston and the same size bale as a New Holland D1010 makes which was rated at needing a minimum hp of 110hp or 82kW some of the older quadrant balers (3x4"8ft) I believe only needed 140hp and even some of the old Heston size balers (4x4x8ft) needed not much different but then the newer balers are capable of higher densities. But what make the biggest difference in requirements is speed at least by the opinion of the local hay and straw merchant and contractor. When he started out he used a 130-140hp MF on the baler and use to go at walking pace through a reasonable straw crop as his business has expanded now and he needs to cover much more ground though the baler hasn't changed much he runs a Fendt 933 Vario on them which is over 300hp and you'd have trouble running to keep up with him.
sum old good lookin iron still getin it dun
I like Hesston. Hoping to get this one filmed again chopping corn.
I've only seen one of those in my life.
I remember them being new at my local dealer and I have lots of Hesston sales brochures but this is the first one I have seen in the field in a long time.
our contractor that spreads slurry for us have an fiat DT 180-90 beefed upp to 300bhp. its so sexy
Very cool. I hope to get this 1580 filmed chopping corn.
Was that creeper transmission also put into the smaller models like the 110DT?
Do you mean the 1180 DT? The 1180 has the same 24F/8R creeper
Nice German Baler...
👍
Nice Italian tractor.
What brand of big balers do you like the most ? 😎
I like them all. I have gotten to film a few just this year but until 2018 I have not been around them much. It’s hard to say if one is better than another.
Is that a 720p video? Hard to believe
It was filmed on a camera from 2007. Very fuzzy but I will take what I can get in a rare tractor. Hopefully from friend can film it chopping corn with a new camera this fall.
Shift some gears on the power and its basicaly got 4 ranges with 4 gears
Have you ever filmed onelonleyfarmer at his hay making farm in New Jersey?
I have met and talked with Wes. If I get to NJ I would like to film his windrowers and the Krone Big Baler.
very european combo 😂😂 great Video ✌👍
Glad you liked it. It is a nice combo.
Hmm I never got this in my Gmail. Does it happen often?
That is odd. I have worried that subscribers are not getting notifications. That is why I have started saying at the end of the videos check the BTP home page. I am uploading videos on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday every week and some bonus footage on Saturday.
bigtractorpower I'm very glad I do. I have my bell to all notification though.
3x3 bales ? They look a lil bigger to me
Claas lists it as 3x3 but the bale dimensions are a bit bigger but not quite a 3x4. Good eye.
*🇹🇷🇦🇿SUPER🇹🇷🇦🇿*
Glad you liked it.
✌✌✌
👍
If that old fiat is in good shap youl think your in a new tractor
Did this look out of focus to anybody else?
It’s very fuzzy. The camera that filmed this was from 2007. My friend filmed it and his camera is just to old. But it’s a rare classic that is 16 hours from me so I was thankful to be able to share its story despite the fuzziness. I was worried about comments on the focus but so far out of a 70 comments yours was the only one so I guess the story made up for the filming issue. I am going to get a new camera to New York so hopefully my friend can get clearer footage of the Hesston chopping corn. But I will take fuzzy over not getting something this rare. .
@@bigtractorpower I noticed the fuzziness too, had to double check my settings. I think it's more noticeable because normally your videos are pin sharp. Didn't detract from watching my favorite tractor in action though, all be it I am used to seeing it as a Fiat 110 90 here in the UK
For myself, good looking european brand of tractor, I'm not a fan of foreign made machinery on american soil. Good find in the less popular tractor brands still in operation. Again Thank's
I like finding unique classic tractors. Hesston is interesting because it was an American company acquired by an Italian company. Fiat invested money and expanded the product line to include tillage implements and the first Big Baler ever. The tractors were a bonus for dealers because it made them a full line dealership over night.
Lmao.... bars to let fresh air in the cab.... LoL...... more like the ac was marginal to crap and they knew the doors would be open so the operator didn't heat stroke. LoL
fiat engines are the best they almost never die its just sad that they rust very fast
D T Dual traction .
