Fiat crawlers, any good?

[kevindb880]

Anyone using fiat crawlers?
What are they like compared to Track Marshall?
Would an 80c lift and pull 4 furrows?
Can you still get parts for them?

80 would pull 4. Used to drive a 100 which pulled 6 on a clay loam. The 100 would lift a 5f dp1 clean off the ground as well, so would have thought the 80 would lift a 4f fully mounted. Parts are getting rarer, but still availability if you’re willing to put the legwork in to finding a supplier.

My neighbour has just bought a second hand NH T4030 crawler which is a NH badged Fiat I think. Hasn't been used yet so can't comment on performance.

Here you can find parts no problem, so I guess for you in the UK will be a matter of finding the right channel.

We ran a 120c many years ago. it was a fantastic tractor . we pulled a 6 furrow plough and mole drainer with it as well as a 7 leg v form. Great lugging engine and bomb proof running gear. simple to work on too. the only thing that let it down slightly was the turner three point linkage and the cab.

We also had a 120c, ours was used with I think a 5f dp1. Rolling hills here. It was quite happy with it I understand, so I would think an 80c would be ok for 4furrows.
NH still make and sell quite a few old school crawlers in and around the Med. So I would think that with a Fiat the spares situation is possibly the best brand to have.
