Fiat Hesston 55-46 - a good tractor?

[drw]

In case anyone is wondering, I ended up passing on this, and didn't buy the tractor.

well it was only two years ago

did ya get a backup?

we do have an '82 566 fiat-hesston somewhere in the 12,000 hours - yea 12,000 - still runs and looks good

the fix it again tony dose'nt apply to these tractors - parts are available but seldom needed

even today if you do not mind the lack of modernism for 3-5k they can be a good worker. and sometimes you can find a cab model fer not much more

I did end up adding a JD 5310 to my tractor collection.

not sure of this model but I've always liked the fiats a lot from 90-90's up to the big 180-90's all been exellent and some of the best engines in the business.
Only downfalls were cabs qand panels prone to rusting and gear change was a bit notchy on some .
