ENGINE DETAIL

The Long 2460 tractor features a robust D-115 diesel engine with a displacement of 2.3L and a rated RPM of 2400, offering a balance of power and efficiency suitable for moderate agricultural tasks. With a compression stroke of 4.33 inches, it provides enhanced torque characteristics at lower RPMs, ideal for heavy-duty applications. However, the relatively low oil and coolant capacities (7.3 quarts and 13.5 quarts, respectively) may require more frequent maintenance checks to ensure optimal performance and prevent overheating during prolonged use.

LONG 2460 ENGINE

The Long 2460 tractor is powered by a 2.3L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing a good balance of power and fuel efficiency for medium-duty farming applications. Key advantages include its compact size, which enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, and its capability to handle a range of implements effectively. However, its limited engine displacement may pose challenges in heavy-duty tasks or steep terrains, where higher horsepower is often required.

TRANSMISSION

The Long 2460 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, enhancing versatility for various farming tasks while allowing smoother shifts between certain gear pairs (3-4 and 7-8). The 11-inch disc clutch ensures reliable power transfer, but operators may need to apply more skill during gear shifts in unsynchronized ranges. With an oil capacity of 21 quarts (19.9L), consistent maintenance is crucial to prevent overheating and ensure optimal performance in demanding agricultural applications.

MECHANICAL

The Long 2460 tractor features a versatile 4x2 2WD or optional 4x4 MFWD configuration, allowing for adaptability on various terrains; however, the lack of full synchronization may present challenges in heavy-duty applications requiring rapid gear changes. Its hydrostatic power steering provides enhanced maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces, while the dry band braking system may offer rebound stability, adding to operational safety. The 8-speed partially synchronized transmission balances ease of use with control, ideally suited for general farming and light-duty tasks but may lack the efficiency desired in high-performance scenarios.

LONG 2460 TIRES

The Long 2460 tractor features a versatile tire configuration, with 6.00-16 (2WD) or 8.3-24 (4WD) options for the front and 14.9-28 tires for the rear, providing stability and traction for agricultural tasks. The 4WD option enhances ground engagement and power distribution, ideal for implementing tillage or hauling heavy loads in varied terrain. However, the 2WD configuration may limit performance in wet or uneven conditions, necessitating careful consideration of field requirements before selection.

Rear tread 55 to 75inches / 139to 190cm

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Long 2460 tractor features a compact wheelbase of 77 inches, enhancing maneuverability in tight agricultural settings but potentially limiting stability during high-load operations. Weighing 4,220 lbs, its manageable weight allows for easier transport and versatility in various tasks; however, it may struggle with traction on very muddy or uneven terrains. The combination of 6.00-16 front tires and 14.9-28 rear tires optimizes front-to-rear weight distribution, improving performance in plowing and tilling applications while presenting challenges in deep soil conditions.
