Yes, those pics with the "farmers daughter" are quite nice. When I was stationed in Greece 40 some years ago I saw a farmer driving down the road on his Lamborghini crawler. He had truck wheels bolted to the drive hubs on each side and a small pneumatic "crazy wheel" mounted under the front. ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |

I have heard the story goes that Mr. Lamborghini was pretty successful at making tractors and other heavy equipment so one day he took some of his hard earned money and bought a Ferrari. After owning it for some time, he was at some business function and he happened to meet Mr. Ferrari. He had some suggestions on how his Ferrari could be improved and Mr. Ferrari in so many words told him to stick to building tractors. So Mr. Lamborghini decided to show Mr. Ferrari that building fast cars wasn't all that hard. Thus the Lamborghini sports car was born.
At least that is how I heard the story from my German friends. Dunno if it is true or not.
cheers,
Creek

To bad Ferruccio Lamborghni spent most of the fortune he made building tractors on building sports cars. The factory still stands in its orginal spot in Sant' Agata Bolognese Italy, although the company has changed hands many times. It is now owned by Audi and Audi is owned by VW ------------- Experience is a fancy name for past mistakes.

Lamborghini is now part of the Same Deutz group. Agco's first series of tractors where same, lamborghini's. The 4600, 5600, 6600, 7600 series were all the same madels and all the comparable Whites were the lamborghini models. Even the newer GT series were the same. |

I was thinking that some of those hood designs sure looke familar!!!
As for the wheel weight and the hood ornamate, I would have to say sign me up for two new deeres, if those are standard options. I knew Deere was cheating somewhere in order to beat AC.

The Same/Deutz-Fahr groups owns Deutz-Fahr tractors, Same tractors, Hurlmen and Lamborghini tractors. From my understanding they are similar to AGCO's AGCO/CAT/MF tractor setup in that their all the same tractor with different colors and some different refinements. You wonder how they can offer four different tractor brands in mostly Europe and make money but AGCO couldn't do three in NA. Anyway, it's my understanding that they are still a privately owned company. I believe McCormick is the only other privately held ag company but am not sure. Some Indian mfgrs may be and Antonio Carraro's may be. If I get my tractor sold, (was then backed out till March), my next tractor will probably be an AGCO or AGCO-Allis tractor made by Same/Deutz-Fahr. That way I can have my orange tractor and I can get parts from the local family owned and closer Deutz dealer and not AGCO. Interesting enough the local Deutz dealer used to sell Long tractors and now sells Deutz and LS tractors. He said both Deutz and LS built tractors for Long but I can't verify that by looking at old models. LS does make European models for NH though. My brother used to have a AGCO 6690 and it was a good tractor. I think they are good tractors all around but a little lever happy. Not much to go wrong with them though. Som of the bigger models are more refined and they do have a CVT but I think it might possibly be the Fendt designed AGCO owned CVT. |

LS tractors are made in Korea. They have been in business for a long time kind of like the Iseki of Korea. They are a subsidiary of LG electronics so they have a lot of backing. I first learned about it when one of the AC dealers on here dumped AGCO and picked them up. They are similar to Kubota and don't get very big. Their largest tractor I think is lik 80hp and has an Iveco engine in it. Their compacts are sold by New Holland and their bigger stuff is sold by New Holland in Europe. I saw them at the National Farm show and the local guy here has them too. I think they look decent enough but are light, like Kubota, and fairly small. Their prices are reasonable and if you want a blue Kubota I'd say go for it. My only real gripe with them is they are owned by a large corporation who I'm sure is traded on some stock market. After AGCO I try to stay away from them boys. |
