Lamborghini 550 – air-cooled three-cylinder diesel producing 50 hp at 2,200 rpm from 2,715 cc, with two-wheel drive, a general-purpose tractor from the Italian maker Lamborghini Trattori

Lamborghini Trattori was an Italian tractor manufacturer founded by Ferruccio Lamborghini before he became known for sports cars; the tractor business stayed independent after the car marque was sold and has belonged to the SAME group (today SDF, SAME Deutz-Fahr) since the 1970s. The 550 is a two-wheel-drive general-purpose tractor from the 1980s and 1990s range, aimed at medium-sized holdings.

The 550 is powered by an air-cooled three-cylinder diesel engine of 2,715 cc, producing 50 hp (36.8 kW) at 2,200 rpm with 141 Nm of torque. At a kerb weight of 2,080 kg it measures 3,150 mm in length, 1,675 mm in width and 2,280 mm in height, on a 2,090 mm wheelbase; top speed is 30 km/h.

A two-wheel-drive three-cylinder in this power class suits tillage on flat to gently rolling ground, mowing and loader work, and haulage with trailers; without front-wheel drive, traction on loose ground remains more limited than on a four-wheel-drive version. The simple driveline without a second driven axle keeps servicing and repair straightforward.

When buying a used air-cooled three-cylinder Lamborghini, check the cylinder cooling fins, the condition of the cooling fan and for possible oil leaks at the crankcase. Gearbox and clutch should be checked for smooth shifting, and the front axle bearings for play. Parts for this widely used engine family are usually readily available through dealers specialising in Italian machinery.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
  • Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
  • Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
  • Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
