Knudson
Jerome Knudson pioneered the creation of crab-steering and self-leveling tractors specifically designed for cultivating the challenging hillside terrains of North Dakota. Knudson initially oversaw the manufacturing of a range of tractor models – distinguished by their striking green and white coloration – within the state. Subsequently, he transferred ownership to Allmand Brothers Inc., who recommenced production at a facility in Nebraska, adopting a yellow livery for the machines until 1983.

Komatsu
Tracing its origins back to 1917, Komatsu initially served as a manufacturing division, crafting essential mining tools for its then-parent organization. The company formally established its independence in 1921. A pivotal moment arrived in 1931 with the unveiling of Japan's inaugural crawler tractor, a landmark achievement in domestic engineering. Collaborating through a strategic alliance known as KIMCO, Komatsu produced tractors for International Harvester throughout the 1970s and into the early 1980s. Currently, Komatsu stands as the world’s second-leading producer of construction equipment, a testament to its enduring innovation and quality.

Kubota
Dating back to its founding in 1890, Kubota Corporation boasts a storied legacy of engineering agricultural solutions within Japan.

LS
LS Tractors originated as an integral part of Hyundai's operations. Subsequently, in 1983, the tractor segment transitioned ownership to GoldStar. Reflecting a corporate evolution, the division became known as LG Tractors in 1995, coinciding with GoldStar’s rebranding. A significant shift occurred in 2005 when the engineering team established its independence from LG, adopting the name LS. For several years, LS provided tractors to Montana Tractors for distribution within the United States. However, in 2009, LS Tractor USA was founded, allowing the company to engage with the American market through direct sales.

Lamborghini
In the twilight of the 1940s, Ferruccio Lamborghini began his industrial journey crafting tractors within Italy's burgeoning postwar landscape. These early machines were ingeniously assembled from repurposed military components left over from the Second World War. By 1954, Lamborghini's ambition had propelled the company to design and build its own powerful engines. Expansion soon followed, venturing into the realm of exhilarating, high-performance sports automobiles. As the 1960s drew to a close, Ferruccio's focus shifted away from agricultural machinery, culminating in the formal acquisition of the firm by SAME in 1971. Even now, the iconic Lamborghini name continues to grace tractors, operating as an integral part of the SAME Deutz-Fahr Group.

Landini
The Landini story began in the workshop of Giovanni Landini. As early as 1884, Landini was crafting agricultural machinery, with experience in both steam and internal combustion engines preceding the First World War. Following in their father’s footsteps, Landini’s sons continued the family business, producing their inaugural tractor in 1925—powered by a hot-bulb diesel engine. These tractors quickly gained widespread acclaim, establishing Landini as Italy’s preeminent tractor builder before the outbreak of World War Two. Production recommenced following the war's conclusion, though the earlier diesel technology had begun to fall out of favor. Landini successfully adapted by incorporating Perkins engines under license in the 1950s, and ultimately became part of the Massey-Ferguson group in 1959. A new chapter commenced in 1994 when Argo SpA brought Landini into its portfolio.

Lanz
Prior to crafting the iconic Lanz Bulldog in 1921, the Lanz works in Mannheim, Germany, specialized in the construction of steam-powered engines and motorized farming equipment. Over the subsequent three decades, close to a quarter of a million of these remarkably straightforward tractors rolled off the production line. In 1956, John Deere acquired Lanz, and by 1958, the familiar Bulldog was being manufactured in John Deere's signature green livery, bearing the Deere emblem alongside the Lanz name. Ultimately, by the close of the 1960s, the Lanz brand vanished entirely, though the manufacturing plant in Mannheim continues its operations to this day.

Le Roi
Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Le Roi company specialized in the creation of engines serving diverse industrial needs. A significant turning point arrived in 1940 with the acquisition of Centaur Tractor Corporation. Centaur produced a range of robust industrial tractors powered by Le Roi engines, with the Le Roi Tractair series being particularly noteworthy. These tractors featured a unique six-cylinder engine configuration: four cylinders dedicated to combustion, while the remaining two functioned as an integrated air compressor. In 1954, Westinghouse—later known as WABCO—brought Le Roi into its portfolio, ultimately leading to the discontinuation of tractor manufacturing during the 1960s.

Leader
From 1913 through 1949, the moniker 'Leader' graced tractors utilized across the American landscape, passing through the ownership of multiple enterprises. The story began in 1913 when the Leader Engine Company absorbed Midland Tractor, initiating tractor production within the state of Michigan. Subsequently, in 1915, Leader joined forces with other companies in a consolidation that created Dayton Foundry & Machine, rebranded as Dayton-Dick. This entity continued tractor manufacturing in Illinois until 1924, eventually evolving into Dayton-Dowd. The celebrated 'Leader' designation experienced a revival in the 1940s, adorning compact utility tractors crafted in Ohio until the brand's final year of production in 1949.

Lenar
In the early years of the 21st century, Lenar operated as an American company specializing in the importation of tractors manufactured in China. Their initial foray into the market began in 2003 with Jiangling tractors. However, challenges arose in their relationship with Jiangling, compounded by Mahindra’s acquisition of the Jaingxi production facility, prompting a strategic shift in 2005 toward Dongfeng tractors. Lenar broadened its reach by establishing a network of distributors across Europe, but ultimately succumbed to financial pressures, leading to the company’s cessation of operations in 2008.

Leyland
The Leyland tractor line was first introduced in 1969, a result of British Leyland’s acquisition of BMC. Subsequently, in 1981, ownership transitioned to Marshall and Sons, who elected to discontinue the use of the Leyland brand name, opting instead for Marshall branding alone.
