Fiat 1280 vs Fiat 1300
Verdict: Fiat 1280 vs Fiat 1300
The Fiat 1280 and the Fiat 1300 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Fiat 1300 leads on rated power with 115 hp against 109 hp. Fiat 1300 is the lighter machine (5,300 kg vs 12,017 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
