Landini was founded in Emilia-Romagna in 1884 and is one of the oldest and most successful Italian tractor manufacturers, which became the largest tractor manufacturer in Italy in the 1930s. The LANDINI 16000 DT was manufactured in 1986 in the Massey Ferguson factory in Beauvais (France). It was almost identical to the MF 2785 and had all the features, in particular the turbo engine equipped with an air-water heat exchanger. A single large door on the left gave access to a comfortable cabin.
