Landini 60 series

[floridahay]

A friend of mine was showing me an advertisement in a magazine for a landini dealer and the ad states that the Landini 60 series tractors have 95 % parts interchange with the Massey Ferguson 451 to 481 tractors. I wonder if the Masseys are rebadged Landinis? These days who knows who builds what!

All i know is, the same company that owns Landini owns McCormick

Landini made tractors for MF and these had been sold in Landini and MF colours. Nowadays landini is independent again and has sold up McCormick

Landini also owns Laverda, Valpadana is the low price brand of the Argo group

We now have a Landini dealer in my state and they are advertising the Powerfarm line (52-89hp). I have not looked at them yet but an article in Farm Industry News had this to say about Landini:

The only thing I would know they share in common is the Perkins engine. The Landini is built in Italy and the 400 series Massey is built in Brazil
