I was chatting to an old chap the other day who is a tractor fan, he showed me a magazine with lots of old tractors for sale in the classifieds...very reasonable they were too!
Far too tempting...

Second one down
Of course Lamborghini made tractors before they made cars. I wonder what their performance was like

Thanks for that photo, wrinx I'd never heard of a Romeo tractor before, but the i'd never heard of an Alfa tractor before Rick set a challenge I had to rise to  . It looks almost identical to an International Harvester Titan, was it made under licence ?

| Rick, as you know my house is an old farm house........ thus far I have dug out of the back garden 2 tractor engines!, both of which have gone to the tip as the were just big lumps of iron oxide.. however there is a tractor sized hump in the back garden... I have never had the courage to probe or dig but if you want a go you are welcome Dave |

Well, I knew about Lamborghini but not Porsche!
...even diesels 
http://www.porsche-diesel.com/
...at least the tractors will have given the Porsche design team a challenge and some variety

There is a picture of the Titan on my Great Yorks Show thread to compare with, even the rivets seem to be in the same places. |

I would have dug that before doing anything else! It is amazing what you can find!
If you ever want to dig it, give me a shout!

Hi
There are plenty of newish lambo tractors around here, but they seem to be either loved or hated, I think they are more used for horticulture, than proper farm work, although some farms use them.
Cheers
