Fiat Trattori 44-series – the large 44-23 and 44-28: six-cylinder diesel of nearly 14 litres, 169.3 to 206.1 kW, over 10 tonnes unladen
The 44-series formed the top power end of the Fiat Trattori line-up, built within the group at plants in Turin and Modena. The 44-23 and 44-28 designations follow the type logic typical of Fiat, where the first number denotes the range and the second the approximate power step in metric horsepower times ten. Both types carry large six-cylinder diesel engines.

The register lists here 2 versions with 169.3 to 206.1 kW from six-cylinder engines of around 14,013 to 14,016 cm³ displacement and 1,100 to 1,170 Nm of torque, with unladen weights from 10,420 to 11,061 kg, lengths from 6,430 to 6,500 mm, a width of 2,530 mm and heights from 3,200 to 3,550 mm.
With an unladen weight above 10 tonnes and output over 200 kW, the 44-series ranked among the largest tractors in Fiat's line-up and targeted large farming operations and agricultural contractors with high drawbar demands, such as heavy tillage and large mounted implements. Owing to their high weight and size, they were mostly used on large, flat arable fields rather than hilly terrain.
When buying these large tractors, check operating hours and service history of the six-cylinder engine, the condition of the clutch and gearbox under heavy load, the tightness of the hydraulics, and rust on the frame and mudguards. Spares come through dealers specialising in Fiat/Fiatagri.

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.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- 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.
