Lamborghini R series: compact agricultural tractors from Cento/Pieve di Cento, from the R-240 (DT) to the R-360 (DT), 28.7 to 39 kW from two- and three-cylinder diesel engines
Lamborghini Trattori was founded in 1948 by Ferruccio Lamborghini in Cento and has been part of the SAME group since 1972, which builds the tractors at the Pieve di Cento plant. This page collects a further R series from the marque, from the R-240 (DT) to the R-360 (DT); the leading number gives the approximate size class, and DT in Italian tractor typology stands for Doppia Trazione, meaning four-wheel drive.

The register lists 2 versions from 28.7 to 39 kW from two- and three-cylinder diesel engines of 1,885 to 2,827 cm³ displacement at 2,200 to 2,400 rpm. Kerb weights range from 1,700 to 1,900 kg, lengths from 2,860 to 2,990 mm, widths from 1,650 to 1,690 mm and heights from 1,260 to 1,290 mm.
Tractors of this power and weight class cover the small and compact segment at Lamborghini, suited to smaller farms, special crops and yard work; the low build height eases use under trees and inside greenhouses, while the two- and three-cylinder engines keep fuel consumption modest for light tillage and yard transport.
When buying a used example, check operating hours and the service history of engine and injection pump, the condition of clutch, gearbox and four-wheel drive, the tightness of the hydraulics, and corrosion on sheet-metal parts and wings; since the engineering is largely shared with Same and Deutz-Fahr, spare-parts supply through the SDF dealer network is comparatively good.

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.
