SAME Explorer – the four-wheel-drive tractor range from Treviglio since 1983: EXPLORER 55 to 125 and Explorer II, three- to four-cylinder engines of 40 to 79 kW, also as the tracked Cingolato
SAME, based in Treviglio near Bergamo and founded in 1942 by the Cassani brothers, launched the Explorer range in 1983 as a compact four-wheel-drive tractor. Over the model years the range grew from the small four-cylinder EXPLORER 55 and 65 with dual traction (DT) through the 70 and 75 with four-wheel drive (4WD/VDT) to the larger EXPLORER 90 to 125 and the later Explorer II; Cingolato denotes the tracked version, Classic and Natural later equipment grades.

The register lists here 19 versions, with PTO outputs from 40.5 to 79 kW or 90 to 106 hp, from three- to four-cylinders of 2,750 to 4,000 cc, unladen weights from 2,440 to 3,630 kg up to a gross weight of 6,200 kg, lengths from 3,520 to 4,720 mm, widths from 1,828 to 1,950 mm and heights from 2,437 to 2,593 mm at rated speeds of 2,000 to 2,500 rpm.
The Explorer range positioned SAME between its compact municipal tractors and its big farm tractors; it targeted medium-sized farms and, with the tracked Cingolato, the steep vineyards and orchards of northern Italy, where SAME has traditionally had a strong presence.
On the Explorer range, what counts is the condition of the four-wheel-drive clutch and front axle, the tightness of the hydraulics and lift, the compression and cooling system of the four-cylinder diesels, and on the Cingolato version the undercarriage and tracks; parts run through the SAME-Deutz-Fahr network, on older model years partly only second-hand.

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