Fiat Trattori 100 C – the 1970s farm tractors from Modena: 411 C to 451 C, four-cylinder diesel with 29.4 kW, 2,335 to 2,510 kg weight
Fiat Trattori, the agricultural machinery division of the Turin-based Fiat group, with production centred in Modena in northern Italy, built the 100 C range as a medium-power farm tractor for the European market in the 1970s. This page covers the three versions 411 C (CI), 431 C and 451 C, whose three-digit type number distinguishes the models within the range.

The register lists 3 versions here with a uniform 29.4 kW rated output from a four-cylinder diesel engine of a constant 2,270 cc displacement. Kerb weight ranges from 2,335 to 2,510 kg, length is a constant 2,530 mm, width ranges from 1,110 to 1,640 mm, and height is 1,300 mm. Maximum torque is recorded at 140 Nm at a rated speed of 2,300 rpm.
With the 100 C range, Fiat Trattori served the mid-power segment in which numerous European makers such as Massey Ferguson, Deutz and Same competed for market share among medium-sized farms in the 1970s. The uniform four-cylinder engine across all three models points to a shared technical base with different equipment or axle configuration.
When buying a used Fiat Trattori from the 100 C range, check the condition of the injection pump and cylinder head, wear on the clutch and gearbox, and corrosion on the frame, bonnet and mudguards after decades of use. Spare parts for this generation are available through dealers in historic Fiat and New Holland agricultural machinery, as well as specialist mechanics.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
