Fiat 140-90 vs Fiat M160
Verdict: Fiat 140-90 vs Fiat M160
The Fiat 140-90 and the Fiat M160 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Fiat 140-90 leads on rated power with 140 hp against 130 hp. Fiat 140-90 is the lighter machine (6,471 kg vs 12,386 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
