A RARE FIAT HESSTON 7725 Hours: 3500 approx. year of manufacture: 1986 Horsepower when new: 360 hp Acres cut when new: 1500 acres approx. with first owner Acres cut now: 200/250 acres now The harvesters blower box was relined 2 years ago, other than that it is still original. Since buying her we have found it to be very reliable, very cost efficient and a very capable machine. The Iveco engine in her has never been touched in it's 26 years in operation! neither has the hydrostatic, it also has been very reliable and has never seen the workshop, and hopefully never will ! She will do a good days work on 100 gallons of diesel, and will put 70 acres of grass through her for that."

this wasnt 1986

I had one of these when I first started contracting. Great little machine that was easy to work on and maintain except for the idler pulley for the main drive belt that was a pain for chewing through bearings and also mine used to fracture infect or pipes!!
-
Engine never touched!? I'm impressed. Those iveco engines were a bit of a headache on the old fiat - Hitachi diggers. Its good to see an older machine still well able to work.
-
I would love 1 of them
-
would love to have one any chance you might locate one for me
-
if there were shearbars then we would gladly have bought them but there were none to be had, this was through new holland, maybe you can get non-genuine ones somewhere i don't know, but as far as new holland were concerned there were next to none left.
-
there are loads of harvesters left laying around, but there were only 5 new shearbars left in the world at that time.
-
we have three of them does the silage for us every year
-
there are loads of harvesters but not many new parts
-
beg to differ, we had one a couple of years ago, went to replace a shearbar, and found out that there were only 5 left in the world!!!
