Founded in 1942 by the Cassani brothers in Treviglio, Italy, SAME (Società Accomandita Motori Endotermici) pioneered mass-produced 4WD agricultural tractors with air-cooled diesel engines.
Historical milestones, founding origins, and technological breakthroughs.
Same has played a dedicated role in the mechanization of global agriculture, providing durable tractors and machinery to farmers seeking dependable performance and accessible maintenance. Throughout its operational history spanning from 1978 to 1996, the company focused on engineering robust mechanical drivetrains, practical hydraulics, and functional operator controls suited for challenging field conditions.
With 35 cataloged specification profiles in our verified database, Same machinery ranges from compact utility chore tractors to heavy row-crop and draft platforms. Each model reflects the agricultural requirements and testing standards of its era, backed by certified dynamometer test reports and engineering documentation.
Reinforced cast-iron front bolster and transmission casing designed for heavy agricultural implement carrying.
Fuel-efficient diesel powerplants calibrated for sustained drawbar pulling in demanding soil conditions.
Universal 3-point geometry ensuring compatibility with standard rotavators, plows, and disc harrows.
Introduction of early Same agricultural models, establishing regional field reputation.
Broadened horsepower classes, synchronized transmissions, and multi-valve hydraulic options.
Comprehensive technical documentation and test archival across 35 verified models.
Notable models in our Same catalog include the Iron 200, representing key milestones in Same's agricultural engineering history.
All About Tractors currently tracks 35 verified specification sheets and laboratory test reports for Same tractors.
Official test reports from the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory and the DLG Test Center are linked directly on each individual Same tractor profile.
Same tractors in our database range from compact utility models up to high-horsepower row-crop machines delivering up to 270 hp.
Same equips its tractor lineups with certified diesel engines engineered for high torque rise, fuel economy, and compliance with emissions standards.
Depending on the series and manufacturing year, Same models feature synchronized mechanical gearboxes, multi-speed PowerShift units, or continuous variable transmissions (CVT).
The serial number plate is typically stamped on the transmission housing, front frame casting, or right-hand engine block. Match the sequential number against our Same yearly serial number records.
Same utility models feature Category 1, 2, or 3 three-point linkages with position control and draft sensing for heavy agricultural implements.
Certified OECD dynamometer testing measures Same fuel consumption under varying engine loads, providing exact gallons/hour and g/kWh consumption metrics.
Each Same specification page links to verified OEM parts lookups, aftermarket suppliers, and operator/workshop repair manuals.
Check engine cold-starting compression, hydraulic remote pressure, 3-point rockshaft seals, transmission shift smoothness under load, and front axle kingpin play.
