*_"So much torque, the chassis twisted coming off the line."_* Dominic Toretto circa 1925.
The engine and transmission were effectively the chassis. Lol.
100kgs of fuels, and 10kgs of lubrication oil? How many gallons per mile?
@@BramBiesiekierski Irrelevant, all tractors have crap mpg due to reduction and gearing. What matters is gallons per hour during work, which I doubt its that much worse for this engine compared to similar cc more modern tractors.
Still smoother than a VW 3-pot. 😂
Lmao 1.4tdi is utter crap
And more reliable
Dude!
Legend 😂😂😂
What the hell is a 3 pot??
A friend has a Lanz and he let me drive it. Was fun when we drove it at max rpm, it felt like it was about to explode - and then an elderly woman overtook us on her bicycle. 😂
There's some with changed gearing, that go dangerously fast.
LOL

it's kinda adorable these stubby little tractors that hop like an exited puppy

Where is the puppy exiting from? - To be so excited
@@malcolmwhite6588 if i leave the house for more than a few seconds my 'puppy' does this, he's like 8 yrs old and has a knee replacement. so freaking exited, adorable.
@@malcolmwhite6588🥲😂
You dump the clutch and it yanks the hill out from under you.
and it just rotates the earth back to nighttime
The sound of a single cylinder hot bulb engine is so satisfying, and the amount of torque that they produce never fails to impress.
Italian version of the famous Lanz Bulldog tractor
Wouldn't the Lanz be a German version of notri Landini?
It's the opposite.
My previous neighbour has one of these. When he drives under the trees in my old street it starts raining leafs. I don’t miss much about my old house but I do miss his tractor.
when you stall with such a heavy piston, it must shake a lot
it doesnt stall lol. the engine will shake the tractor back and forth. and itll run backwards as well
It probably jumped just turning it off
Doubt you could stall it, probably start wheel hopping.
@@wills.5762 exactly lol
Yep!@@wills.5762
So much torque, chasis twisted off the line.
Wow, I did not expect a video on the hot bulb Landinis! Those little mules are still quite popular here in Italy in fairs and historical re-enactments, they are amazing!
I can't wait for Allen Millyard to make a V-Twin.
there is something majestic about the old single piston engines...I wish we had more of these
i'm italian my great-grandfather had one (it's still somewhere, they sold it ages ago). i've never seen one, but it made me happy to see one run. it's also cool to see landini mentioned, my family is somewhat "attached" to landini, out of 4 tractos we have now 3 are landinis (one new one and two older, better, ones).
Di dove sei? 40km a nord di Torino ne abbiamo uno ✌️😁
Old School " Let's get shit done......" .
Ha you ring. I'm ready
I grew up on one of these and my family still has a couple of running ones, there is also a lot of people who tune these tractors and plow with them, they spit so much fire it's funny
making a twin cylinder out of these engines would be wild. Imagine the torque
Been watching your videos for years. Love your passion for engines
How about a video on Ford industrial and agricultural engines from the 70's? Those 3 cylinder diesels are practically indestructible...
It was widely used for boat thugging along rives too. For that purpose they were custom modified to accommodate a fourth gear. Something that even Landini engineers couldn't believe it was possible.
That vibration is no joke
God, imagine the kind of power that thing could have if a turbo or supercharger was bolted onto it
That's terrific
I don't think so. These engines seem to have most power on low rpms, and the longer they run, the more heated they get, and ignition timing shifts, and power is lost, especially on high rpm. It's not your regular diesel, it's a hot bulb oil diesel. However, a blower would help: these engines suffer from mediocre cylinder ventilation, and process efficiency drops.
Simple to maintain and repair. Multifuel capable by design.
Visio Racer, is on fire with these great videos!!! Thank you once again! Excellent video👍👍
The ultimate thumper.
Next video could be about a post-war British tractor called a Field Marshal, which had a single cylinder engine that was burning diesel {it was a two stroke] keep thinking it had some design cues from the Lanz Bulldog. I've seen quite a few Field marshal tractors at various agricultural shows.
The Landini is I think based on the Bulldog.
We've got a couple of Field Marshalls along with Track Marshalls (same but tracks instead of wheels) at the yard interesting in that you can start them with a blank shotgun cartridge and a hammer, don't half shake though when they're ticking over.
I knew the engine by the top of that piston. Always been a fascinating engine to me.
I saw or much rather heard a Lanz bulldog while doing a rest stop on our vacation trip, it's a fascinating machine and it's good to see that they are still running. But in Germany we really have lively tractor communities and people mostly small farmers still using there decades old machines sometimes.
That sounds so awesome
A single cylinder thumper. Kept expecting the Dune Sand Worms to appear :D
Enjoying the videos, keep up the good work man.
I love this video! Good job!
Thank you for singing for us
Fascinating engine! Thanks for sharing this amazing content!
Thanks for another interesting video Visio. 👍
Nice to hear you again 💪👍
Very interesting video thanks, love the tractor wheelies that were possible with these 😂
You should try watching tractor pulling!
I love the sound of a big thumper.. great video!
That was really interesting and well researched. You were initially very unsure of narrating in English. It's been some time and you're doing great. Nice accent, good pacing and intonation. Landini, love that they bounce up and down when idling!
True, thanks!
one of my favourite yt channels!
In my town there's a wine fest every year and all the farmers parade in the streets with their tractors. One of them still runs a restored Landini testacalda (hotbulb). When it drives under my apartment, the emptied exhaust shakes the floor 😮
What a beauty. I love such machinery artworks.
Very interesting engine! Thank you.
14.3 Liters of displacement for 40hp is so adorable xD
Amazing video.
"hey my tractor needs cylinder maintenance" "which cylinder needs work?" "the"
Awesome video!
Look straight on in front it looks like a grasshopper 🦗
Incredible ingenuity. It was neat to see the women running the tractors too. You should cover the Case 150, the most powerful steam tractor in the world. It can plow 50 John Deere deep plows, a pass that is 60' wide.
this thing is freaking cool as hell.
Hot comment
Hand wheel with spokes on that flywheel, nice to loose a hand or some fingers.
I love the hot bulb engine. It's what led to prechamber diesels with glow plugs. It also ebabled the engine to use a variety of fuel oils. How much did the hot bulb get heated so the?engine would start? Given the enormous bore, I wonder what oversize pistons are sized in.
Well built piece of equipment. Cheers to those that preserve them.
sheer display of absolute power
I have never heard of the weight measurement of quintals?
The fact it can cycle ten times a second is very impressive
bro just happy to be workin'
In my youth, there was a plethora of single cylinder motor cycles, very high compression, low reving, they would putt putt along economically and without much fuss. Sometimes had to start, but, if maintained, reliable.
Good memories of my first track day when I used 6th gear down a straight and forgot to down shift.
Best vid ever
It was very good yes. Some great footage there.
@@MattBrownbill It’s why I love the channel
LANDINI TESTACALDA MENTIONED 🗣🗣🗿🗿
It's not the torque that makes it bounce, it's the equal and opposite force generated by the crankshaft counterweight around TDC/BDC.
That hopping is not a result of torque, but rather from inertia of the reciprocating assembly. Similarly, when you rev a stationary car and it rocks, thats inertia of the rotating assembly, not torque. It takes almost no torque to rock a car.
you can see or hear the torque. Landini:
4:08 looks like a 100% safe position to put your hand 😂
@4:33 I didn't know i need girls on one cilinder engine tractors in my life, but now I do... I just cannot describe it, but this little clip of that girl on that tractor just hit every single sweet spot in my brain
That flywheel could be it's own continent holy crap
The fact is, if there is a war with an electromagnetic wave, this tractor still be able to survive post-electromagnetic wave Possibly would also be modified to be used in truck chassis with certain amount of shock absorbing material so as to not bend the truck's chassis.
These are so unbelievably cool! First word was ‘tractor’. Been in love with machinery my entire existence. Now my kids have the genetic predisposition toward machinery. My son especially loves tractors because of the Cars movies. Kid is happier than a fly on ʇıɥs when he gets access to the real machines! Obsessed with garbage trucks, but he digs his backhoes and farm tractors near his grandparents place. Me. I just go silent and stare. Revere. Going to have him see this tomorrow! As always, great work!
Wish we could go back and start making simple mechanical stuff again.
I Had to watch it at normal speed, just so I could listen to the engine notes !😊
Could these also be run with reversed crank rotation as the Lanz Bulldogs? I've seen videos of Lanz's in just the right engine state, switching between forward and reverse crank rotation with every stroke, effectively reaching zero rpm with the engine still running...
Yes
Beautiful video, but you forgot to mention one vital thing: after the preheating phase, to fire up the engine and, as you said, there's no starter motor: you have to crank it by turning one of the flywheels. You have to literally put your hands on one flywheel (there's one of them for each side of the tractor) and than spin it. I think it's tha manliest way to fire up a tractor, even though mayoe not the most convenient 😂
4:26 - Hello! You may plow my field at any time.
Do a video on the history of Perkins engines
I know it's "outdated", yei I would be quite curious to try a hot-bulb tractor
Can they blow smoke rings, like the Bulldog?
I had a Lanz Bulldog driving infront of me, I must have looked like a 5 Year old on Christmas as I gave him Thumbs up 😂
400+ torque from a single piston. pretty wild. what was the compression?
Pretty low, between 3:1 to 5:1 max
do they still make these to this day
Lanz Entwicklungsingeniuer Fritz Huber: "Ein Schlepper kann nicht einzylindrig genug sein" (A tractor can never be single-cylinder enough). Lanz/Landini rulez! 😊
Does it really rev lower than a Field Marshall ? that's a single cylinder 2-stroke diesel tractor too... you start it with a shotgun cartridge
I kinda wanna see one of these do an American tractor pull
Landini super velite 40-50 hp and 575 nm. I mean new tractors with 300 hp and 1450 nm -> 40-50 hp 200-241 nm.
Cheers 👍💪✌
does it fit in a miata?
There's a reason those young ladies have smiles on their faces
The single cylinder?
Respect for engineering?
Isn't the Lanz capable of running at 0 RPM? Basically going back and forth at top dead center, without achieving a complete revolution? If I remember well it's even the way to go in reverse : by reversing engine rotation after getting it balanced at a 0 rpm idle.
yeah indeed bulldogs can idle a 0rpm. kzhead.info/sun/abOrmNuJsZaai4k/bejne.html
It doesn't "make so much torque the entire vehicle bounces", the bouncing has nothing to do with how much torque it has. The reason it bounces is because it's a very large 1 cylinder engine, so the piston moving up and down weighs a lot and bounces it around. If it had multiple cylinders instead of one big one it could make the same amount of torque but not bounce because as some cylinders went up others would be going down and they'd balance each other out. It just bounces because it has a large heavy thing moving up and down inside of it and inertia works as expected.
This channel is legend
Horsepower: 5 Torque: YES
but what are the torque numbers? 25hp isn't much to begin with unless the torque numbers can speak for themself, yet they were never mentioned.
I f_cking LOVE these beautiful sexy tractors .
However or wherever or whatsoever. It must be one of these three, but it is difficult to tell😂
So technically, it's not "on the road", it's in a field. When I saw a tractor, I thought, "wait a minute, something that loud, slow and vibrates that much and it's not a Harley? 😜😜😜
If you get this engines revs way way way down you could probably make it turn backwards wich enabels you ro run without reverse gear. Many older ships did this. I can tell you guys it is actually very funny playing with such an engine. You make it nearly spin backwards and then let it spin the "normal" way again. It makes a very "funny" and unique sound(: How do I know? Got a degree in qhip building and repair which requires you to also be able to work on all sorts of engines.
99% sure Lanz Engines reverse rotation. They will even run at “0 Rpm” where they never make a full rotation, just bounce back and forth between TDC. No idea about the landini. I’ve sailed on direct reversing big old Sulzers and B&W’s. Pretty cool stuff.
@@FlatBroke612 old Buch 1 cylinders is also able to be played around with.
I want one in our M3 race car ❤
Il nonno di un mio amico possiede un L35, è sempre un emozione l'accensione di questi trattori, quando ero piccolo nella piazza del mio paese davano la benedizione ai trattori e ne arrivavano parecchi di questi landini "testa calda". Nessuna comodità, anzi, poverette le persone che le usavano, che andavano a dormire la sera e secondo me sobbalzavano pure a letto.
That engine can run at zero rpm.. it bounces back and forth about 80% of its travel in one direction, and then backwards 80% going back and forth like that making it idle at zero RPM
How much Torque? All of the Torques...
How much gas does a 14L 1 cylinder use under full throttle, every second?
I had a land for years it turned a mixture of diesel fuel and used oil that I collected from local garages. also there was a Hungarian tractor named hsv I think ,all were copies of the lanz designs . Lanz supplied tractors to their army to carry freight they were a longer model named highway bulldogs
