[AT] Of the 10 worst tractors, two were made by Fiat. 4 were from brands eventually acquired by Fiat.

[James Peck]

Would not the Fordson F qualify for a worst tractor list spot. That would add one to the Fiat brands total.

They had a reputation for going over backwards, until the hitch was changed.

They had a flywheel housing mounted distributor system which was hard to work on.

The design was not continuously improved much during its period of production.

Fiat was selling in the US auto market in the mid sixties. I remember a little 4 on the column model. 

[Cecil Bearden] My experience of the worst was with a 1010 John Deere, and that Fiat made Oliver.    Both were just too small to compete with the 25 hp Massey Ferguson tractors we had before.
