AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY Tractor Landini testacalda model Velite 1935 - The Landini tractors was founded in 1884 by Giovanni Landini (1859 - 1924) under the name of the Fabric of Agricultural and Wine-Making Tools. Initially; the production company about how Locomobili steam machinery; but Giovanni Landini in 1910 built his first motor fixed hothead. The idea is not entirely original; because the engines of this kind have already been used abroad; especially in naval construction. Landini; however; has the merit of the application; first in Italy; this solution to machinery for agricultural use. The elite model was very successful; allowing the company from Reggio Emilia to become the first manufacturer of agricultural tractors in Italy. Ponzone 2011
