Lamborghini Carioca range – early petrol tractors from Cento of the 1950s and 1960s: the MF-20 and MF-32, also with a six-cylinder engine, 14.7 to 29.4 kW, 800 to 1,100 kg unladen weight
The Carioca range includes some of the earliest tractors Ferruccio Lamborghini had built in the 1950s and 1960s in Cento in Emilia-Romagna, before the company later moved to Pieve di Cento and was sold to SAME in 1972. The MF-20 and MF-32 models ran on carburettor petrol engines instead of diesel, the MF-32 additionally in a six-cylinder version alongside the smaller four-cylinder one.

The register lists here 3 versions with 14.7 to 29.4 kW output at a uniform 2,000 rpm, from four- to six-cylinder petrol engines of 1,307 to 3,485 cm³. Unladen weights range from 800 to 1,100 kg, lengths from 2,400 to 2,700 mm, with a uniform width of 1,300 mm and heights from 1,200 to 1,220 mm; all three models run on petrol.
The early Lamborghini tractors of the Carioca range date from the company's first years of tractor production, when Ferruccio Lamborghini began building farm machinery amid the post-war boom of Italian agriculture, long before the brand became known for sports cars; they thus stand at the beginning of the company's history.
On a used purchase of these early petrol tractors, the condition of carburettor and ignition counts, pistons and cylinder liners, the clutch and the simple gearbox, and rust on sheet-metal parts and steering knuckles; parts for these rare early models must be sourced chiefly through vintage-tractor specialists and collector circles.

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.
