SAME – other models: the collective page of Italian tractors outside the named ranges, from Ariete and Delfino to the narrow Frutteto range, DT marking four-wheel drive, 18 to 179 kW
This page gathers the SAME tractors the register could not assign to a named range – from standard tractors with animal names such as Delfino, Falcon, Buffalo and Condor to the narrow Frutteto range for fruit and wine growing. SAME (Società Anonima Motori Endotermici) was founded in 1942 in Treviglio near Bergamo, after Francesco Cassani had already built an early diesel four-wheel-drive tractor there in 1927; Lamborghini Trattori joined the group in 1972, Hürlimann in 1977, and since the 1995 merger with Deutz-Fahr the group has traded as SDF, still headquartered in Treviglio. The DT suffix on Italian tractors traditionally stands for Doppia Trazione, four-wheel drive, and appears on numerous types on this page such as the Buffalo DT and Condor-55 (DT). The engines historically came from the company's own production in Treviglio, and after the Deutz-Fahr merger, per the register, also from Deutz.

The register lists here 134 versions with 18.4 to 179 kW or 25 to 244 hp from two- to six-cylinders of 1,118 to 7,146 cm³, unladen weights from 1,005 to 7,500 kg and gross weights from 4,100 to 12,000 kg.
SAME is one of the traditional Italian tractor brands and is strongly represented in Italy itself, France and Eastern Europe; the narrow Frutteto range is a benchmark in fruit and wine growing, where it competes with the group siblings Lamborghini and Hürlimann as well as Landini and Fendt for narrow row spacings.
On used tractors, engine condition and rust on sheet metal and cab count, clutch and gearbox, front axle and transfer case on the DT four-wheel-drive types, and on the Frutteto range the condition of cab guards and hydraulics; parts run through the SDF network of SAME Deutz-Fahr.

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.
