The Fiat Trattori 480, 480DT, 500, 500DT, 540, 540DT, 640, and 640DT models represent a line of compact, versatile tractors designed by Fiat Trattori for a range of agricultural tasks. These tractors were introduced in the late 1970s and early 1980s, becoming popular for their maneuverability and power in smaller farm operations and vineyards. They are known for their robust construction and reliable performance, featuring a range of engine options and power outputs. The 480 and 500 series typically boasted smaller engines, suited for light-duty tasks like tilling, cultivating, and mowing, while the larger 540 and 640 models were capable of handling heavier tasks like plowing and hauling. All models shared a distinctive design with a compact front axle and a spacious, well-appointed cab, providing a comfortable working environment for the operator.

The Fiat Trattori 480 series tractors were equipped with a variety of features designed to enhance efficiency and operator comfort. This includes a hydraulic system capable of powering a range of implements, a three-point hitch for attaching implements, and a PTO (Power Take-Off) shaft for operating equipment requiring external power. The tractors are also known for their responsive steering, which allows for precise maneuverability in tight spaces, a necessity for vineyard and orchard work. The robust construction, including the use of high-quality materials and a well-designed transmission system, contributed to their durability and longevity. Notably, the DT models in this range, like the 480DT and 500DT, featured a diesel engine, offering increased power and fuel efficiency, making them ideal for heavier agricultural work. These models, along with their comprehensive service manuals, continue to be sought after by farmers and collectors, representing a significant chapter in the history of Italian tractor engineering.
