Re-Branded Fiatagri

gerardk55

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone knows the name of the tractors that are re-branded Fiat Agris? I've seen them around but can't think of the name.

I've been hearing good things about the Fiat Agri 80-90, 90-90 and 100-90 range of tractors and was wondering does anyone know anything of this rebranded range of tractors?

Cheers

I believe its Tumosan tractors that you are refering to, there a copy of the fiat 90 series and some of the 94 series from what I can remember. Although I think there is another brand who aslo make them, DFG, DGF or something, not too sure of the name really, mostly see it in the 100-90 version.

The fiat 90 series had a great reputation, especially the mid range tractors like the 90-90 the 100-90 and of course the 110-90 which seems to be regarded as one of the best tractors ever made, New holland only stopped producing them in 2003, such was the demand.

The reproductions, like all imitations are never going to be as well made as the originals, personally i would buy an older fiat over a newish tumosan, but thats just me. Have seen a few tumosan's with hydraulic problems, often due the the filter getting blocked up with swarf, left in the transmission casing from machining, done in the fatcory. While not really a serious problem, it does show the quality of the workmanship somewhat :rolleyes:

The Tumosan tractor range is actually a copy of the older fiats eg fiat 880 as far as I know. They are a very basic machine but pretty reliable and very cheap to buy.
Be careful with some of the older 90 series fiatagri tractors while although mechanically sound do rust like crazy. Fiat started zinc coating the tractors before painting after 1990 to overcome this problem. Could be open to correction on the year though!
Had a 110-90 for 4 years and retro fitted a turbo to it, very good machine and would have no problem purchasing another if it suited my situation.

these were a very good tractor. the only one to avoid was the 5 cylinder 90-90 version. these engines were generally a bit softer. The 4 cylinder 80-90 and 6 cylinder 110-90 and 100-90 were extremely reliable. The only issue was rust, as mentioned previously, especially in the cab.

Remember the line from that great tale, Alice in Wonderland, which went something like this "curiouser and curiouser":D
This being your very first post and all, it seems "curiouser and curiouser", that you fly in and lo and behold, for your very first post you find a topic on Tumosan:D:D
Which one of the Brogan's are you by the way:cool:

These were absolutely bulletproof, had two of them, one from new which had the clock gone around and stopped at 2 or 3k for a couple of years before it was sold never put a spanner to either engines.

I'd love to hear from anyone who retrofitted a turbo kit on to a standard 110-90... Im thinkin bout buying a 110-90 but its a non turbo...would be really interested in finding out what is into retrofitting a turbo on to one of these fiats..

someone told me they were retrofittitting an iveco turbo lorry engine into a fiat 100-90. said it would bring it beyond the strenght of the 110-90 and was a very easy changover. would it work?

While on subject of fiats, anyone know where lever is on a 100-90 to switch pto rpm from 1000 to 540?

Also any ideAs on how to go about fixing speedo cable

It's a short lever beside the seat sticking out of the floor, I think it's on the left but I'm not 100%, will check in the morning.

Did all 110-90s come with a switchable PTO speed lever? If you do not have a lever down at your left heel, then you have to unbolt the PTO shaft stub (3 bolts) and you will find a spring loaded rod behind the flange. I think you use a short piece of threaded bar, or a rod, about an inch long, to push in the spring loaded rod, this gives you 1000 RPM. Removing the piece of rod leaves the tractor on 540 RPM. Or perhaps the other way around!
