Why? Like the Fendt that was done in Lemken blue it looks nice, but whats the point? Am i missing a link between Landini and MF?  :-\

the lemken blue fendt probably came about beacuse lemken maybe use fendts to demonstrate there machines and they are both german companys nick and mf and landini did have a link a good number of years ago but im sure marky will fill us in on that

Massey Ferguson used to own something like a 40% share in Landini in the days before Agco took them over , but they sold their share, I think, to the company that became Argo, who now own both Landini and McCormick. As TM810 said MF and Landini co-operated for many years, with both MF's in Landini colours and Landini's sold in MF colours,{ mostly specialist models like vineyard tractors or crawlers}.

Spot on, the Landini Starland is the old NH 70A series and I believe was made by Buhler in Canada  ;):)

Ergh Yuck.. I will need to see a REAL 8280 in blue BEFORE I part with my money... I now have 4 of this model... the standard in red, the Farmer Plus (red), the Ltd. Edition in Orange and the SCC Limited Edition in darker orange  :-\

I could have had the Zwolle edition as well  ::)

I really don't think I will be buying a blue one as well  :'( :'( :'( :'(

As for landini... Allis was spot on (as always - a very knowledgeable chap  ;)) ... I hated the look of Landidi MF's at that time... boxy and nothing like the MF "corporate" look  :-\

I recently obtained some current Landini MF crawler brochures Mike... I was staggered at the range they still produce... but none listed on the Agco website... strange  :-\
