Same also had a lash-up with Oliver, at least down under. A Same Drago 100hp was badged as an Oliver 984. Solid tractor but a bit of a challenge to start in the cold and the turning radius of an oil tanker. But it was heavy and long and could pull a lot of bottoms. Can't remember how many but it reliably outpulled our White 2-105 (also running a Perkins 6-354 I think) and 2-150 (Waukesha 585?)

Landini started to become common in the new vineyards here in the 90's. Both the crawler and wheel tractors. The dealer was 60 to 80 miles away, and with ability of most vineyard workers they needed dealer support. I have not seen any new Landini tractors for some time. So my guess is the dealer went away. The crawlers are not lasting that good ether. With 100 to 250 gal air blast sprayer on the rear, and enough counter weights to hold the front end down the engines would break from the rest of the tractor.

The Deere dealer sold some Same crawlers and wheel tractors for a time back then as well. The JD parts man told me a good second tractor to have if you could live without it, as parts were very slow to come if needed.

As well as several other brands I don't remember could be found in the vineyards. Now the only new crawlers are New Holland or the Kubota with rubber 1/2 track instead of a rear wheel.

EZCAT dose the Landini you show have a real frame? That would go a long way fixing the problem of the engine falling off. From what I know NH could use a competitor. A friend with a 8 year old NH is not that happy with it. He only bought it because he was running out of old TD 6 tractors and good parts.

NO just a side panel , Landini are sold under McCormick now and have a duezt water cooled engine, Seems the New Holland crawler is the most popular now which comes from Fait , Hesston < Duezt Fahr also has one they sell which comes from Same.
