Fiat tractor for sale new again
Good news for fans of the Italian tractor brand Fiat. New Holland is launching an exclusive range of limited edition 'Fiat Centenario' models; 6 tractor models get a complete makeover in the style of the famous Fiat 90 series.
The biennial Italian agricultural fair Eima opened its doors on November 2th. It is reason for Case New Holland (CNH) to go big in their home country. With the Fiat Group as parent company, it is fully dedicated to the 7th anniversary of the Fiat tractors. They saw the light of day in August 100.
Fiat concept tractor
A Fiat Centenario concept tractor can be found in the center of the Eima. It is inspired by the popular 90 series, which was produced between the 80s and 2002. It is a further development of the concept tractor that runs on methane, which was launched at Agritechnica last year. It is mainly intended as a literal crowd puller.
But, don't worry for the fans. To celebrate the anniversary, New Holland is launching a limited run of Centenario; standard tractors with a different look. They get the color terracotta, have a metallic jacket, in combination with a white roof as was the case on the older Fiats. The model also receives the original decal, modified 90-series style decals and decals on the mudguards.
Limited Models
There are 6 models available in this version, with a maximum of 100 pieces. A number plate shows the tractor number. These are the models T5.120 EC, T5.115, T4.11F (cab), T4.110LP (ROPS), T4.110FB (ROPS) and the crawler tractor TK4.110 (ROPS). New Holland will tour all European trade fairs with the tractors.
The chosen models are particularly suited to Italian farmers. It is not known whether the tractors are also available in other countries. Also the costs of a limited series are not reported.
This is not the first time that New Holland has returned to the past. About 10 years ago, when Fiat celebrated 90 years, it also showed a concept tractor at the Eima, followed by a compact tractor. It never made it to production. Ford/New Holland celebrated 2014 years of tractor production at Basildon in 50 with a Golden Jubilee model.
Investment for the future
The most famous special model is the Ford 7810 Silver Jubilee. It was released at 25 years of production in Basildon. Initially it was not a success and some were sprayed traditional blue again. It is now a collector's item. In the home country of England, the value of 1 Silver Jubilee has risen to over €40.000. Buying a Fiat Centenario now can therefore be a good investment for the future. At least with today's many plastics, it doesn't rust so quickly.
The special models are not the only news from New Holland at the fair. The T5 Auto Command will also be launched, which we talked about earlier wrote† The new model T6.180 Auto Command and Dynamic Command will also be introduced, which is now on the road in the Netherlands, a series of renewed narrow-track tractors, TH telehandlers and the CR Revelation combine harvesters.
