The above is true now, and yes the Landini Mistral and McCormick X10 have nothing in common. Argo ( Landini/ McCormick) has changed their north american line up. When they first started selling in North America they were importing the Landini built tractors - which is what I had. Today, the Mistral is available in Italy and I believe some other parts of europe where the Landini brand is well established.
