It may be surprising , but the Brobdingnagian bulk of Lamborghini possessor around the man do n’t think twice about develop their vehicles muddy or using them to drag out around big machinery . The reason for this is that most Lamborghini proprietor have the caller ’s tractors rather than its exotic sports cars .
When speak with Italian farmers who own Lamborghini tractor , I find they are often either amused or insulting of the legendary status of the fun cars .
“ A Lamborghini tractor is much better made than a Lamborghini car , ” one grizzled old Fannie Farmer told me .
At the close of World War II , there was a outstanding demand for agrarian machinery in Europe , and it seems like almost everybody was thinking about make tractors . Porsche made a circumstances of tractors , and even the Ferrari manufacturing plant afterwards dabbled in this field . The most notable new tractor business after the war was started by Ferruccio Lamborghini in a b by using parts from salvage military vehicle . Success came quickly to the Modern tractor producer , who came from a farming family , and the concomitant wealthiness led to him starting his own sport - car factory . But he held his tractor business most heartfelt , and even today , in the Ferruccio Lamborghini museum , the tractor he built take center leg .
Modern Lamborghini tractor are produce by the Same Deutz - Fahr mathematical group , the largest privately owned agrarian - machinery manufacturer in the globe . The group includes tractor companies originating in Italy , Switzerland and Germany . It was started by the Cassani family unit in the late twenties , and in the seventies , the last official act of the Cassani paterfamilias was to purchase the Lamborghini tractor sectionalisation .
divertingly , the Same Deutz - Fahr executives decided in 2003 to add sexual practice appeal to the Lamborghini tractors , which had previously been boxy , black - and - white machines . The new silver Lamborghini tractors with blue trim were designed by the luxury machine designers Pininfarina and Giugiaro and made to slightly resemble the celebrated Lamborghini Miura car .
I toured the Lamborghini tractor factory in Treviglio , Italy , ( a half an hour east of Milan ) in March 2011 , which was exciting for me because I ’ve control these tractors all over Italy , where I presently rest , and my pal in Melbourne always tells me how the Fannie Merritt Farmer in Australia are around the bend for them . lamentably for my stateside friends , Lamborghini tractor are not sell in the United States . Instead , an American Fannie Farmer may line up a tractor manufactured by the same party under the Deutz - Fahr brand name .
The interior of the factory is extremely well organized and , much to my surprisal , the story was cleaner than the floor in my own agency . Deutz - Fahr tractors are built alongside the Lamborghini tractors , and besides the color dispute ( Lamborghini in silver and Deutz - Fahr in green ) , both looked very similar to me . Lamborghini offers an telling range of styles , from 35 - horsepower models to 270 - horsepower models . Because of the craggy terrain around Liguria , Italy , where I last , I see mostly the smaller tractors on the farm , but the flatlands around Milan boast the monster Lamborghinis working huge fields .
Among the many Italian Farmer to whom I have spoken about Lamborghini tractor , the brand is respected for its useful proficient innovation and down price of operation . The older generation of husbandman likes Lamborghini tractor for the content for two or three simultaneously working superpower take - offs and for being one of the first tractors with four - wheel drive . Lamborghinis are also sleep with for the amount of cogwheel , as many as 80 or 90 on a individual tractor when all of the forward , reverse and hi - lo paraphernalia are count .
I ca n’t really say that it is unfortunate that farmers in the U.S. can not easy buy Lamborghini tractors for their own use because the Deutz - Fahr model and a great number of other brand are available , but I must say that I add up off with a newfangled sense of regard for the company that produces the tractor here in Italy .
