Gotta love the 'lil 20A Nursery / Greenhouse tractor. For those of you that have never seen one, they are a lot smaller than you think. Here she is next a 2520 with loader and backhoe. The word "cute" comes to mind, at least until you see a 6' 5" 300 pounder sitting on it...

Cool little tractor! I never knew JD made such an animal. Thanks for the pics.

Well... Really they don't - it is a Landini painted green and yellow.

It would be a blast with a 12 inch Brinly Plow, or maybe a home made pair of 10's.

I think we overloaded the axles! How much do one of these little guys go around for?

Jamie, I thought Deere discontinued those? Did you sell it to one of the tasty Iowa vineyards?

Gotta admit: if I were one of those "trust funders," I'd be on the phone right now to my dealer (I have his cell number, given that it's well after business hours) asking him to order me one.

It reminds me of my old Kubota B6100. Although a tiny tractor, it was nothing short of cool. Very cool, indeed.

And another thing... looking at this picture, it makes me wonder (yes, yet again) why it is that I can't get R1 tires for my 2320.

Is that a rebadged Goldoni tractor? I heard they are pretty pricey for their size. If they were a bit more reasonable in price I would actually look at one for my property as the compact and low COG would be the ticket for some of the property around the house. Does it have a standard Cat 1 three point hitch??

They have been discontinued, it is here for service. I saw it parked next to the 2520 and just had to take photos...

What do you mean it's in for service?! It looks literally brand new... not a hint of use or wear. Very cool. Oops. I've said that now a few times!

That sure is tiny...Should have gotten a pic next to a lawn tractor for comparison...:laughing:

Does it have a cat 1 hitch?

I have never seen one before. It just goes to show that you can learn about all sorts of things on TBN. Obviously there was a market for it. The price does appear to be a tad pricey. But if it serves the buyer and his needs, it is probably worth it.:):tractor:

I researched TractorData.com - information on all makes and models of tractors and then tried Google and found it was a CAT-1 with 3-point hitch.
