I had the pleasure of filming a beautiful exhibition of old ploughing with some fabulous Landini Testa Calda tractors. We are in Bagnolo San Vito, near Mantua, Italy, and for some years this event takes place with other initiatives for the local town fest. Always fascinating is the start-up that occurs after heating the fuel using an incandescent surface located inside the head of the engine. We must say that they are single-cylinder tractors with a large external flywheel, built from the 30s to the 60s such as the Vèlite, the 44 Major, L35, L45 with powers usually from 30hp to 50hp. Extremely robust and reliable, they were among the most popular tractors of that period in Italy. The mechanics are so good that as you can see, they still work without problems.
I have to thank my friend and Youtuber @davide458italia with whom I collaborated to realise this video. Enjoy!
