The bore measures 105 mm. The stroke is 115.5 mm. The compression ratio is 16:1. Construction: unit construction (no separate frame). The linkage is category III. The PTO runs at 540/1000 rpm. The RUBIN-Baureihe series covers 4 models. Rated output within it ranges from 120 to 180 hp; the RUBIN 135 sits in the lower part of that range with 135 hp. Its immediate neighbours are the RUBIN 120 below it with 120 hp and the RUBIN 160 above it with 160 hp. Unladen weight within it ranges from 6,100 to 7,100 kg; here the RUBIN 135 sits in the upper part of that range with 6,700 kg. 265 SAME models across 29 series are on record.

SAME Rubin series: the top of the field-tractor range from the SDF group in Treviglio, four types from Rubin 120 to 180, 88.3 to 132.4 kW from consistently six-cylinder engines, 6,100 to 7,100 kg kerb weight

The Rubin series formed, at SAME of Treviglio under the SDF group, the top end of the field-tractor range. The models Rubin 120, 135, 160 and 180 state engine power directly in hp through their number; the four types are thus clearly ranked by power class. Within the SDF group, Rubin complemented the independent Deutz-Fahr and Lamborghini brands, which offered their own large-tractor ranges in a similar power class.

The register lists 4 versions with 88.3 to 132.4 kW, or 120 to 180 hp, from consistently six-cylinder engines of 6,000 to 6,001cc, torque from 498 to 750 Nm at 2,350 rpm, kerb weights from 6,100 to 7,100 kg, lengths from 4,670 to 4,861 mm, widths from 2,426 to 2,450 mm and heights from 2,880 to 2,970 mm.

As a large tractor, the Rubin series targeted large arable farms with high drawbar-pull requirements, such as heavy tillage and work with wide attached implements, competing in this class with Fiat, Case IH and Fendt models of similar power. The high torque and six-cylinder layout suited towing heavy trailed implements such as ploughs, subsoilers and large trailers.

When buying used, check operating hours, clutch and gearbox condition given the high torque, engine and hydraulic oil-tightness, and corrosion on the cab and chassis; spare parts supply runs through the SDF dealer network for the SAME brand.

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.
