Fiat 100-90 110-90

redzerologhlen

Hi, I have been lookin for one of the above for a few weeks now and im finding it impossible to find a fairly clean one, Rust around the cab seems to be a major issue. I have 13000 to spend, can anyone point me in the direction of one?

aidanki

anyone have a torque curve for one of these I would like to compare it against a modern engine, When I was driving them I thought they had a good grunt

Hi OP contact WR Shaw in rosenalis co Laoise, They might have a few being traded in. I agree good ones are scarce. My brother got one there, paid more than that though!

None there at the moment, leave your name with them.

You'll have to deepen your pockets a bit for a clean example, searched for one for over a year but they're getting scarce. Some guys looking for over 20k for clean examples. Ended up buying a Case but would change in a second if the right Fiat came knocking

I know, Looked at a 96 110-90 yesterday, I was told it was immaculate but when I seen it doors had started to rust and rust around the back of the cab aswell and asking 17000:eek: Im sure they can be got though just might have to travel a bit, Was going to look at a 390T tomorrow but my mechanic told me to stay away from them, too over rated he says.

Swinefluproof

Way too over rated if you ask me. A 4 cylinder turbo is no match for a 6 pot any day of the week. The brakes on the 390T were never too impressive anytime I drove one so that is one good reason to steer clear. Might have to look into England or Holland as an option if you're really serious about the Fiat though. Was just too much hassle for me though

Ya id driven them before, bad cab and the WORST gearbox setup I have ever seen on any tractor, It takes about 15 seconds to change from high to medium (not good when towing something heavy) and a spring that goes in the gearbox that you have to split the tractor to fix but they do hold their money well....strangely!

Swinefluproof

Same set up on the 399, test drove one that had a loader joystick over the gearstick and couldn't get into 4th easily cos the cables were in the way. Managed to leave half my knuckle on the bracket holding it when I tried.
Few 100s and 110s added to Donedeal last few days but the ridiculous pricing seems to be catching on with everyone. Was told that the later models weren't as prone to rusting as the earlier ones but not sure how true this is

Donedeal has a few as mentioned,this one is funny:)

Those 390's are torture,neighbour has one and the little spring clip that goes in the gearbox is under 6euro,but the labour is around 400.His has went twice in the last 4 years.

LOL:D. I had a fiat 100-90 for 5 years and she was an animal. Pull anything ang go anywhere. But the clutch was crap. I was lucky to get 2 years out of it. I changed before it was due again. But it was a simple if noisy tractor:)

tismesoitis

passed a farm machinery place just outside longford town on the strokestown rd and they had a couple of clean looking models not sure exactly which model they were. don't know the name of the garage maybe another poster can fill in d blanks

That garage is D&E McHugh. Tel:043 3359002

would you consider a Fiat F100 or F110. Crowd outside Ballinasloe have one for round 15K in autotrader. Much nicer tractor too that 100/90 or 110/90 and less rust after the same length of time. Very underrated tractor.
Only thing is a Fiat isnt a loader tractor so if you thinking of loader, might have clutch trouble more than with others.

Butcher Boy

have a look at bennets tractors courtmacsherry co cork a lot of stuff there a few fiats there

I dont know much about them to be honest but they look very big and awkward compared to the 90 series fiats. We dont need a loader really just a simple workhorse. I work with a contractor and he uses all john deeres but he often borrows a 110-90 when theres a bit of pressure on, I couldnt get over the grunt of it the first time i drove it and I have a soft spot for them ever since. And apart from the clutch and if you can get a rust free one they are fairly bulletproof so my mechanic tells me and he has a 100-90 turbo aswell so he should be fairly well up on them.

+1 Very same, I think you'd want up on 18-20k to get near a good, clean 110-90. Searched for a year and got nothing, and that was on a 15-20k budget. Few and far between the good examples for sale are.

I reckon these are the new mf 390's ive driven 110s and 100s and i wouldnt be eager to get one to be honest the 110 had serious grunt went up a hill with 16 bales of silage using the independent brake to steer but my god the gearbox is a mess i prefered battling with a tm125 manual gearbox because at least i knew which gear i was going into :rolleyes:
I had the 100 mowing and great yoke on it but the same gearbox was a curse and engaging the pto isnt exactly the quickest but once she got going there was no stopping her didnt like the cab much either too low or something odd about it anyway.
Ive only driven a F140 for a short time but id go for one in the blink of an eye. It was an uncles machine a contractor had it before him so she had her work done and it didnt give much trouble while he had it replaced it with a nearly new TM125 classic great machine again.
But if we were in the market for that sort of aged machine itd be between an F series or a mf 30*5 series or the like both suffer from rust but once its just the doors or around the windows a good local fabricator could have them patched in no time.
Best of luck anyway whatever you choose

Reckon this might be worth a look, French import, No rust but no hitch either and tires look poor, Its a long way to travel too. What do ye think?

marlyman

That one actually looks well and she's a new holland too! If only she was blue :rolleyes:

nashmach

Decals are not original on that one as they are the wrong way around.

Impossible to get a decent one for okay money now.

Having looked quite a bit recently slowly coming to the conclusion that other makes/models even in the big 4 are better value.

johnnyro1

Great tractor. At that money pre 94 models is all you may pick up. The body was zinc coated on tractors which have 2 rams on front axle, which stops rust totally taking over. Our 92 one is clean but rust is starting to bubble on rear of cab and doors. Lack of splitter meant they pulled really well through the gears even though torque is average I think!! Mike Garahy outside Birr sometimes has nice examples.

redzerologhlen

Got a 94 one for 12000 today, needs a few small bits but nothin major, 4500 hours and only a few tiny bubbles of rust and new back tyres

kay 9

Congrats. Any pics. You picked her up handy enough for that money:)

laurence997

Nice one. Well wear

how does it fare out as a loader tractor

i personally wouldn't buy one as a loader tractor, hydraulic pump too slow comparted to others of the time, and don't think they have a great steering lock

redzerologhlen

Dont rate them much as a loader tractor, No shuttle and a heavy clutch is the main drawback i think, I wasnt looking for one with a loader but it was coming with it and it'll be handy for the odd day we need it.

expect frequent clutch replacements if you have a loader on a 110-90

My Father in law has a 110-90 with a loader and I've yet to do a clutch change for him in 6 years! It feeds 120 head every winter, bales and pit and no problems with clutches

johnnyro1

I agree with swineflu ours has been with us 10 years and has required no clutch changes despite constant loader work. However when the clutch does go it wil be replaced with a genuine clutch. I dont think spurious parts are cost effective in the long run as the build quality is just not in them. Could replacing clutches with spurious ones be the cause of them not lasting?

keep going

a mechanic said to me once that some of the prob is that fiat engines tend to be very peppy

Suckler

Myself and the father are looking at replacing our tractor at the moment, was looking at a few of these as well as the usual 390's / 7610's.
As another poster said I think these are the next 390's, You wouldn't see the guts of 20K spent and still have a tractor with high hours and is 15-20 years old. We've decided to hold off, I'll keep putting the few quid away and spend the money on a more modern tractor.
