This is the factory service manual for Landini Series 60, 70, and 80 tractors. It covers the 5860, 6060, 6860, 7860, and 8860, the semi-platform 5870, 6070, 6870, 7870, and 8870, and the cab models 6880, 7880, 8880, and 9880, all built on Perkins diesels including the AD3.152S, T3.152.4, A4.236, A4.248, and T4.236.Across 307 pages the manual walks a workshop mechanic through splitting the tractor into sections and rebuilding the engine, transmission and clutch, 2WD front axle, steering, hydraulic system, and electrical system. You get the specifications, clearances, torque values, and adjustment procedures needed for real overhaul work, such as head bolt torque, clutch plate thickness, bevel gear backlash, and the hydraulic relief valve setting.It is a downloadable PDF with a searchable text layer and 106 bookmarks, so you can print the pages you need or jump straight to a section.

Landini 5860–9880 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Hard starting and power loss under load
Owners of these Perkins-powered Landinis often battle hard starting, rough running, and lost power, usually traced to injector wear, air ingress, clogged filters, or fuel supply restriction. The Engine section covers fuel supply, injector calibration pressure, and timing checks needed to diagnose it.
Manual Section: Engine p. 21Weak or slow hydraulic lift
A three-point lift that raises slowly or will not hold points to low or contaminated oil, a worn pump, or valve leakage in the hydraulic circuit. The Hydraulic System section gives the circuit description, pump overhaul, and the relief valve setting to work through it.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System p. 172Clutch slip and harsh shifting
Clutch slip, dragging, or hard gear changes come from worn friction plates, linkage that is out of adjustment, or low transmission oil. The Transmission section covers the clutch specifications, wear limits, and a fault finding chart for the gearbox.
Manual Section: Transmission p. 43Overheating and coolant loss
Repeated overheating or coolant loss usually means a blocked radiator, a tired thermostat, a slack belt, or water pump wear. The Engine section documents the cooling system, thermostat opening temperatures, and belt flexure for these tractors.
Manual Section: Engine p. 21Electrical no-start and warning lights
Intermittent dead circuits, no-start faults, and flickering warning lights on these tractors trace back to charging faults, corroded harness connections, or failed switches and relays. The Electrical System section provides the wiring diagrams for traditional and semi-platform models to trace the circuit.
Manual Section: Electrical System p. 254Heavy or intermittent steering
Steering that feels heavy or wanders can come from worn front axle bearings or a mechanical steering box out of adjustment. The Front Axle and Steering sections cover taper roller bearing adjustment and the mechanical steering adjustments needed to correct it.
Manual Section: Steering p. 154Frequently Asked Questions
Which Landini tractors does this manual cover?
It covers the Series 60, 70, and 80 tractors: the 5860, 6060, 6860, 7860, and 8860, the semi-platform 5870, 6070, 6870, 7870, and 8870, and the cab models 6880, 7880, 8880, and 9880.
What are the cylinder head bolt torque values?
The Engine section lists head tightening torque of 100 Nm for the 3-cylinder tractors (5860, 6060, 5870, 6070) and 136 Nm for the 4-cylinder models, with full timing and assembly specifications alongside. p. 21
Does it give the hydraulic relief valve pressure?
Yes. The Hydraulic System section sets the relief valve at 170 bar and describes the hydraulic circuit for Category 1, 2, and 3 tractors along with pump overhaul procedures. p. 172
