New season of Clarkson's Farm started yesterday on Amazon video. Hilarious
series about Jeremy Clarkson formerly of Top Gear fame buying a farm in retirement with no prior farming experience whatsoever. This is the 5th season.

on a walking tour in Italy. You probably knew that but wasn't sure if you were making a joke here.
Yeah, I did a double-take when I saw that.

Owing to their rugged simplicity and mechanical robustness, there are more vintage tractors still in regular use around the world than you might think, Porsche included. Thanks to the aforementioned upheaval of Porsche interest, there is a sizeable collection of restored Porsche tractors floating around the collector market. The mass majority of these are shiny red concours-perfect mules, so don't worry about having to recondition a leaky, wheezy farm mule to match your polished garage floors, setting you back usually somewhere in the $25,000-$50,000 range.
If you want a Porsche tractor just to futz around some property and have a hoot at the local tractor (or Porsche) show, many solid examples can be had below the $15,000 mark. If you're the savvy type, we suppose a pre-purchase inspection from a local tractor specialist wouldn't hurt, but these are simple machines that could be fixed and maintained by most DIYers. It's likely better to just bite the bullet and fix any simple issues that arise later on.

They started building cars. No idea, but wouldn't be surprised if they still make them today.
Porsche made farm tractors for a few years, and you'll occasionally see them pop up for sale. Owners usually hold onto them..

1948. Because Lamborghini Trattori didn't have the long history like Fiat Trattori (same group that designs Fiat cars) or Landini, they had to use discarded war materials to produce their first tractors. The only reason Ferruccio decided to start building luxury cars is because he got into a heated argument with Enzo Ferrari over a faulty clutch in his Ferrari 250 GT.
It would appear that Lamborghini tractors are currently not sold anywhere in the US or Canada.
