Fiat 980 vs Fiat M115

Verdict: Fiat 980 vs Fiat M115

The Fiat 980 and the Fiat M115 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Fiat M115 leads on rated power with 100 hp against 98 hp. Fiat 980 is the lighter machine (7,628 kg vs 11,616 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Fiat M115 is the newer design (1996 vs 1979). In short: choose the Fiat M115 for outright pulling power, or the Fiat 980 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
