Same Drago, Buffalo, Hercules

In the angular Same lineup of 1978, the Drago model name was raised to the 115 horsepower class and received the same 6.2-liter engine as the Buffalo, whose power in turn rose to 125 horsepower. Like the other Same models, the engines were air- and oil-cooled. The transmission was the same fully synchronized 12+4 as in the earlier Buffalo, and the top speed remained at 25 km/h. The tractors were relatively light compared to their power and were also available as rear-wheel drive models.

In the summer of 1979, the top model of the lineup, the turbocharged Hercules 160, was introduced, with 160 hp. It had a lifting capacity of 6 tons, and the 60-liter hydraulic pump, which was an optional accessory in the smaller models, was standard. The Hercules was otherwise more robust in construction, weighing over 1000 kg more than the Buffalo. The Hercules cabin was different from the smaller models, and the doors opened from the rear edge. In 1983, the Galaxy, which was aligned with other brands in the group, replaced the Hercules. The Drago continued alongside the Lasers for a while.
