Landini R-5500 to R-9500 DT – the 500 range from Fabbrico: DT for four-wheel drive, a three-digit internal TL code on each model, three- to six-cylinders of 2.5 to 5.8 litres, 37 to 77 kW
Landini, founded in 1884 by Giovanni Landini in Fabbrico near Reggio Emilia, ranks among Italy's oldest tractor makers and has, since the turn of the millennium, belonged to the Argo Tractors group, which also runs McCormick. The 500 range within the R series – R-5500, R-6500, R-7500, R-8500, R-9500 – orders the power class in ascending order through the last two digits, with DT marking four-wheel drive by Italian convention; each model additionally carries an internal TL code from type approval, noted in the register beside the model name. The engines run from a small three-cylinder to a large six-cylinder, showing the full breadth of this mid-sized range.

The register lists 5 versions with engines of 2,502 to 5,792 cm³, 3 to 6 cylinders, outputs of 36.8 to 77.2 kW, torque of 173 to 289 Nm and operating weights of 2,010 to 3,510 kg at 2,100 to 2,250 rpm.
As mid-sized general-purpose tractors, the 500 range covered the segment of Italian family farms between the small orchard tractor and the large field tractor, competing with the comparable ranges of Same and Fiat/New Holland.
On used tractors, the condition of clutch and gearbox, leak-free hydraulics and PTO, the condition of four-wheel-drive hubs and rust on wings and cab count; parts supply runs through the Argo Tractors dealer network.

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.
