==History== Valpadana was founded in 1935 in San Martino in Rio, Italy. In 1954, the company manufactured its first lawn mower. In 1959, it opened a new production plant. The first tractor was produced in 1960. In 1966, the company created the SEP division. The division focused on the commercialization of motor mowers. It produced its first reverse drive tractor with the driving position on a rotating platform in 1988. In 1995, the company was purchased by Argo SpA, owned by the Morra family. That same year Landini, a division of Argo, acquired in 1994, took over Valpadana. After being purchased by ARGO, Valpadana expanded its production line offering specialized tractors, such as for vineyards and orchards.
