The 880 series was introduced as the successor to the 550 series and remained in production for over a decade. There were four models, all equipped with 4-cylinder Perkins engines. The 9880 was equipped with a wastegate turbo. The basic transmission was the old 12+4 without a creeper gear. It was soon replaced by a new 12+12 reverser transmission. As an option, there was a 24+12 with a mechanical creeper gear. The creeper gear could be either reducing or raising, with the road speed reaching 40 km/h. Tractors equipped with the raising creeper gear had disc brakes at the front.

There were plenty of other equipment options as well. The biggest innovation was the electric hitch, called Landtronic. The differential locks were hydraulically engageable. The turning circle was initially 9.8 meters, but later models had 8.8 meters. The lifting capacity in the basic version was only 2,600 kg. With auxiliary cylinders, it reached 3,700 kg. Later, a version with a sloped nose called View Master was also offered.

The cab exterior was the same as before, but the gear levers were now mounted on the side and the interior was more refined. The noise level was stated as 78 dB, which is questionable since the 1998 Evolution model measured 83 dB. The Evolution featured a redesigned, rounded front shape, glass doors on the cab, and a renewed roof section.

Alongside these models, cheaper 60 and Blizzard series were sold, as well as the more expensive MF 3000/3600 series painted in blue. Landini 7800-11800 corresponded to models 3060-3090, and Landini 16500-22000 to models 3650-3690. Parallel models to the 880 series were the 800 series tracked tractors and versions with all wheels of equal size.
