Ferruccio Lamborghini founded the Lamborghini Trattori company as a returning war veteran in 1948, repurposing surplus military equipment for agricultural use. Following the enactment of a law in Italy to promote the sale of Italian-made agricultural machinery in 1952, the Lamborghini Trattori company launched its new line of smaller DL “Lamborghinetta” tractors to success, distinguished by bright red bonnets over a grey chassis. One of the lighter variants in the model range, favored for use in Italian orchards, this 1959 Lamborghini DL20 weighs in at under 1,000 kg and is powered by a 1,400 cc air-cooled twin-cylinder diesel engine.

The rubber studs from the molding process are still present on both the front and rear tires, and one of the rear tires still has its barcode. The bodywork and trim of this restored tractor appear intact. The period details are also numerous and noteworthy. The Lamborghini name is highlighted in red on the lower sides of the tractor, twice on the left side. The forward-hinged hood features a pair of black forged and light alloy Lamborghini emblems. a good amount of charming period details. As for the rest, the condition appears restored and first-class. The only gauge present is an oil gauge. On the right side of the tractor is the dipstick to measure the oil level.

The contoured seat sits on a curved spring and is finished in red. The familiar Lamborghini script is highlighted in black on the back. This model is powered by the 1,400cc version of the air-cooled twin-cylinder diesel engine used at the time.
