LANDINI TRACTORS

[colby]

ANY INPUT ON LANDINI TRACTORS WOULD BE NICE,
ARE THEY A DEPENDABLE TRACTOR, ARE PARTS EASY
TO GET AT A RESONABLE PRICE WITH GOOD SUPPORT
FROM THE DEALERS. I WOULD LIKE ANY INFORMATION
THAT ANYONE CAN GIVE ME GOOD OR BAD.
INFORMATION THAT I HAVE SEEN SAYS THEY ARE THE 5TH
LARGEST TRACTOR MFG IS THIS TRUE IF SO WHO IS
THE OTHER TOP 4 LARGEST.

WHAT???????

Please don't post in all caps. It is considered shouting.

The top 4 would be New Holland, Kubota, John deere, and Mahindra. That seems to be fairly well documented and agreed upon. The 5th position seems to be claimed by about 20 different manufacturers. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Landini's in Canada are all agricultural tractors and are right up with the other ag players. Their smaller models are mostly vineyard etc models.

Notice that Landini claims to be the 4th or 5th largest in the world, not just the US market.

I am talking worldwide figures. In the U.S. market, they are practically non-existant.

My son-in-law's father has one he bought from a dealer close to his home in east-central Mississippi. I think it's about 50 HP at the engine. I've only talked to him once about it after he had owned it for several months. He was well pleased with it, but his previous tractor was kind of ancient [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]. I have no knowledge about the long term reliability or dealer/parts support.

I wouldn´t say that they had been non-existent. Maybe not as Landini. But Landini belonged to MF a few years ago and smaller MF had been Landini in red.

Landini has been in the USA for over 20 years. I remember seeing them at farm shows in the early '80s, and have brochures from then to prove it. They were owned by Massey from 1959 until 2000 when AGCO sold the last 9% of the company. ARGO purchased 66% in 1989, and Iseki bought a portion in 1994. Landini built tractors for Iseki, and may still.

In the USA, they have been distributed by Massey, AGCO until 1998, American Jawa (98-2001), Landini USA (2001-). They still build some Massey's and also (some of) the New Holland TCE series.

ARGO later purchased the Valpadana tractor brand, (very few of these in the USA), and in 2000 bought the McCormick brand from Case-New Holland.

I'd say they are good tractors.
