    nice tractor

    its actually in real nice shape from my view point, has all the panels, orginal front tires??

    thats a nice looking cab too, is that what they fitted in england to get round the regualtions??

    Yep spot on with the tyres :o:)

    The cab is a Fernmo Hytten from Finland, and indeed fitted to get round regs. The Fernmo was only fitted for a few years and then replaced by a taller Hara cab.

    SAME was family owned and i thought it still was

    FIAT is a division of the italian gov at one point, or still is,

    i thought argo was also funded by the italian gov

    the 880 had two engines, the 880 (4pot) and 880-5 (5pot) the 5 cylinder was considered gutless compared to the 4

    FIAT is a huge company, they may not have a tractor bearing there name and colours but there presence in the AG industry is bigger then it ever was, the upper management of that company are very cleaver........so is argo group, those guys realised that branding is often better then the product itself

    Interesting the 5 cyl was considered bad :o Only ever heard good things :-\

    I do think it's nice that most people who buy a Case or NH forget that they're really buying a Fiat 8) 8) 8)

    The majority of the Same and Fiat tractors from the mid 70's to mid 80's that were new around this area rusted out very quickly, freind of mine bought a Fiat 880 new in the early 80's and the panels were hanging within 2 years, he traded it in because of that, also the exhaust pipe rusted out within 6 months.

      Same and Fiat belong to the same parent company. I was told that the panels rusted out very quickly because of the poor quality of steel that Italy was importing, something to do with their poor economy that resulted from the last World War as it left the country more or less in a 'third world' state.

    ::) Fiat is CNH, owning NH and Case IH 8) While Same is SDF.. :)

    But the 880 was an excellent tractor, was his an orange or a brown beast? 5 cylinder?
