Landini Blizzard

mickey24

Hi All
Thinking of buying Landini Blizzard 85 with Power Loader,
seems in good condition.Its for general farmwork mostly on small farm,
little ploughing also.
any recommendations or criticisms
Thanks

i have landini blizzard 95 2 wheel drive,very happy with it,i'd stay away from buying one with a loader,neighbour bought new landini with a loader but he has put 3 new clutches in last 6 years,personal opinion is no tractor should have a loader, have a small L6 o&k myself,brilliant machine,bought reasonably

older machines were not designed for them, but newer stockman machines are. we have an 11 year old MF 4245 with a loader. no issues at all, except the extra tyre wear!

we had a blizzard and boy she was some heap of ****. there was no loader on her. she had to get a new clutch within 600 hrs. the brakes gave up on her and we had to get them fixed. they were never right from then on as she would lock/brake more on one side than another. good crack when you have a load on behind. the pto has a separate clutch.... this is a pain in the ass when you would be sucking slurry. you would have to physically get into the tractor sit down engage the clutch them the drive. as compared to the masseys... you just reach in and press the yellow button.

the only good thing i could say is that she was well geared. she gripped well on soft ground and in the bog. we traded her for an MF and havent looked back since........

I'm not familiar with Landini model names but I know a couple of lads that bought one in the mid-late 90s, would have been stockmen models, and they were notoriously hard on clutches. They found them a grand tidy tractor around the yard and a good all rounder just that they went thru clutches for sport

she must of been dry breaks so if u said that she locked. dry breaks were never a sucess as u said we have 3 landinis a 8550 and 2 10000s and they the best tractors on soft ground we have a 16 tonne dumptrailer on the10000s and a 16 on a valtra t160 and the 10000s will leave the valtra behind and so will the 8550. all landinis have great traction in soft ground

case 956

have a landini blizzard 85 aswell 4wd, loader on it. used mainly for feeding silage and loading dung and manure. alrite tractor, only suitable for yard work. have it 5 yr nd 1 clutch in it so far but will need another soon. in my nopinion dont buy if your goin ta spread slurry r b doing heavy work

valtra8150

why nt buy if going spreading slurry

We bought a new Landini in 98. It is a one man onwer driver, we've had three clutches, four wheel drive done up and the engine done and there is only 3000hrs on her. And it's not to say she was doged about she was well serviced. Dont't think i would reccommend them.

bought mine 99 , for 22500 pounds with a rauch spinner thrown in , 2 clutchs no other probs ,get serviced 1 a year 3900hrs on the clock,brakes need doing ever year,put new tyres on front yesterday 750 euros shes like a new young one ready to go to the dance with her new shoes on,computer tells me after yesterday that the tractor costs without diesel 520 euros a year to maintain,take into mind that labour is a very big cost of that.i think its a great little tractor,a new 100 horse power landini is 52000 euros now as i told the garage i will buy one when my cattle have doubled in price as the tractor has ,and he could see my point very clear then.

have to agree 100% with leg wax here! we have a landini blizzard 85 here since 1994. prob over 7000hrs on the clock. loader on her since2000. far more traction than a 390 etc. we baled for 3 or 4 seasons with her and cut with a conditioner mower aswell. great all round tractor.

brother in law has 4 , different models

we had a loan of his 9880 on slurry a couple of weeks ago and while I wouldn't count it a rolls royce, it done the job, it has almost 9000 hours,

good on soft ground and not too heavy on fuel, often compared to a mf390T but IMO far superior

we have a blizzard 95 since 2001,we bought her wit 400 hours on her,she was 18 months old....but shes the best thing that i could ask for....only problem is the brakes.

We have a landini blizzard 95 year 1998 have it three years now and there's 3 clutches gone in drinking engine oil the hydraulic spools never work always giving trouble back end it to light for a loader very uncomfortable on the road even at really low speeds very hard to start and wiring trouble and the tractor came off a farm up the road she only did 200 hours a year before we got hur and there wasn't a scratch on hur we do 800-900 hours a year and very well serviceed in main dealership and to be honist there a very bad tractor if you doing a lot of work only a sheep farmer or small farmer tractor that's my experience of them any way
