The machine is 3,600 mm long, 1,820 mm wide and 2,420 mm high. The unladen weight is 2,270 kg. The wheelbase measures 2,167 mm. Ground clearance is 480 mm. Top speed is 30 km/h. Transmission: 8V/2R or 12V/3R. The engine is water-cooled. Tyres: front 7.50-16 ASF (DT: 9.5 R 24 AS), rear 16.9 R 30 AS. The fuel is diesel. The bore measures 100 mm. The stroke is 115 mm. The compression ratio is 17:1. Maximum torque is reached at 1,100 rpm. Construction: unit construction (no separate frame). The 56 er-Baureihe series covers 4 models. Rated output within it ranges from 55 to 70 hp; the 65-56 LM (DT) sits in the upper part of that range with 65 hp. Its immediate neighbours are the 60-56 LM (DT) below it with 60 hp and the 70-56 LM (DT above it with 70 hp. Unladen weight within it ranges from 2,140 to 2,430 kg; here the 65-56 LM (DT) sits in the middle of that range with 2,270 kg. 4 Fiatgeotech models are on record.

Fiatgeotech 56 series – field tractors of the early 1990s: three- and four-cylinder diesels at 2,710 to 3,613 cc, 40.4 to 51.5 kW, types 55-56, 60-56, 65-56 and 70-56 LM (DT)

Fiatgeotech was, from 1988 to 1993, the name of Fiat's agricultural machinery division before the brand was absorbed into New Holland following the merger with Ford New Holland. The 56 series covered the types 55-56, 60-56, 65-56 and 70-56 LM during this transitional period, with the leading number denoting the power class and the 56 ending the series generation; the DT suffix, as on the older Fiat series, denotes the four-wheel-drive version.

The register lists 4 versions with 40.4 to 51.5 kW from three- and four-cylinders of 2,710 to 3,613 cc displacement at a consistent 2,500 rpm; torque ranges from 173 to 222 Nm. Unladen weights lie between 2,140 and 2,430 kg, lengths between 3,480 and 3,640 mm, widths between 1,720 and 1,870 mm, and heights between 2,370 and 2,420 mm.

The 56 series tractors served medium-sized arable farms in the brief transitional phase between the old Fiat brand world and the new New Holland logic, competing directly with the contemporaneous Ford Geotech and early New Holland models.

On a used purchase, check the condition of the clutch and mechanical gearbox, the tightness of the hydraulics and the condition of the rear axle; on DT four-wheel-drive versions also the front-axle drive and propeller shafts, with parts now running through the New Holland network and independent agricultural machinery dealers.

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.
