SAME Iron 100 to 185 (2000s) – the water-cooled successor to the Silver from Treviglio: the number as hp class, four- and six-cylinders of 4.0 and 6.1 litres, powershift and stepless transmissions, 74 to 135 kW
The Iron was SAME's step into the water-cooled era: after the Treviglio brand had built air-cooled engines for five decades, the SDF group introduced water-cooled engines with common-rail injection in the 2000s, and the Iron replaced the Silver and the Rubin as the mid and upper range. The type logic: the number gives the hp class – Iron 100 about 100 hp, 130 130 hp, 160 160 hp, 185 about 185 hp – the models up to 130 carry four-cylinders of 4.0 litres, the models from 140 six-cylinders of 6.1 litres; the register span of 4,038 to 6,057 cm³ shows the two engine families. Transmissions were available as powershift with up to 40 speeds or, from the late models, as the stepless Continuo, plus front-axle suspension and the cab SDF shared with Deutz-Fahr (Agrotron) – the Iron is technically the twin of the Agrotron in different sheet metal.

The register lists 8 versions with 74 to 135 kW from four- and six-cylinders at 2,100 to 2,300 rpm, unladen weights from 4,440 to 6,750 kg, lengths from 4,139 to 4,807 mm, widths from 1,880 to 2,720 mm and heights from 2,685 to 3,127 mm.
The Iron sold mainly in Italy, France and Eastern Europe, where the SAME network is strong; in 2010 the Virtus and Fortis ranges followed in the same logic.
On used tractors, operating hours, the condition of engine and common-rail injection, powershift clutches and electronics, front-axle suspension, hydraulics and cab and parts supply through SDF, good thanks to the Agrotron kinship, are what count.

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.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
