In 1957, the Italian company Landini signed an agreement for licensed production of Perkins engines, and they gradually abandoned their own semi-diesel engines. A 3-cylinder Perkins engine was installed in the R 35, and a 4-cylinder Perkins in the R 50. Two years later, Landini's share capital was transferred to Massey Ferguson's ownership, and the 28-horsepower R 25, which utilized the technology of the MF 25, was introduced to the market.

In 1961, a new model series was introduced, which as a whole was very closely related in technology to MF tractors. Little information is available on the smallest models of the series (2000 and 2500). The 3000, which replaced the R 25, was equipped with a Perkins 2-cylinder 1580 cm³ engine producing 30 hp. Later, a 32-horsepower 3200 was also produced.

The 3-cylinder Landini 4000 was a close relative of the MF 35. As indicated by the model designation, it had 40 hp. The 4500, introduced in 1962, produced 44 hp. The most powerful in the model series was initially the 5000, followed by the 5500. In 1963, the 4-cylinder Landini 7000 was introduced, with 65 hp DIN. Landinis had either 6+2 or 8+2 gears, except for the smallest models which had 6+1. Many models also had narrow and low special versions.

Central to Landini's lineup were four-wheel drive models and crawler tractors. Massey Ferguson sold Landinis under its own brand in countries such as Germany, France, and Australia because their own lineup did not include equivalent four-wheel-drive models. Landini’s four-wheel drive tractors were designated DT, and rear-wheel drive models were designated R. Landini began manufacturing crawler tractors in 1959, and the models were largely similar to the wheeled tractors.
