I am not familiar with a Landini tractor but they must be doing something right.
Landini USA is proud to announce that the Landini Rex 85 S received the 2008 Tractor of the Year Award in the “Best of Specialized” category. The award was presented to Landini during a special ceremony at the Agritechnica Trade Fair in Hanover, Germany.
Judged by a panel of machinery specialists from 17 European countries, the “Tractor of the Year” award is regarded as one of the most prestigious honors within the agricultural engineering industry. Tractor designs are assessed on design features, benefits, and practical driving appraisals.
The 82 hp Rex 85 S, designed to operate in the narrow rows of the orchard industry, was chosen for its engine performance, innovative four-wheel hydrostatic brakes, electro-hydraulically engaged four-wheel drive, and easy-to-use transmissions. The judges also praised the tractor’s maneuverability within the narrow rows of an orchard.
Landini USA, based in Norcross, GA, was founded in 1884 by Giovanni Landini in Fabbrico, Italy. The aim of Landini was to design and manufacture machinery capable of towing agricultural equipment, in particular the plow. Today Landini offers a full range of tractors for the row crop, livestock and specialty crop market.
