TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Long 310 tractor features a 6-speed sliding gear and an 8-speed constant mesh transmission, providing versatility for various field operations and terrain conditions. The 6-speed option offers straightforward shifting for general tasks, while the 8-speed enhances operational flexibility and efficiency, particularly in varying loads or speeds. However, the complexity of the transmission system may require additional maintenance and operator training to ensure optimal performance.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Long 310 tractor features a sliding gear/constant mesh transmission, providing solid durability but potentially requiring more operator skill due to unsynchronized gears, especially in the lower range. With 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, it offers versatility for various agricultural tasks, though the synchronized gears 2-3 and 5-6 enhance shifting ease, improving operator efficiency. The 17-quart oil capacity using LONG Multi-Purpose Tractor Fluid suggests a need for regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the transmission system.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Long 310 tractor features a sliding gear/constant mesh transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, providing versatility for various operational scenarios. The synchronization of gears 3-4 enhances shifting smoothness during high-speed operations, which is advantageous for tasks requiring speed and efficiency. However, the dry disc clutch may necessitate more frequent maintenance and can pose challenges in heavy-duty work environments where high torque engagement is common.

Type sliding gear/constant mesh
Gears 8 forward and 2 reverse
Clutch 279.4mm dry disc
Oil capacity 17 qts/16.1 L
Description Four gears (1-4), plus reverse (R) in two ranges (low/high). Gears 3-4 are synchronized.

MECHANICAL

The Long 310 tractor features a versatile drivetrain with options for 2WD, MFWD, and 4WD, enhancing traction in varied terrain scenarios. Its mechanical band brakes provide reliable stopping power; however, they may require more maintenance than hydraulic systems. The available 6-speed and 8-speed transmissions allow for flexible speed management, catering to different operational needs while potentially complicating gear selection for inexperienced operators.

LONG 310 TIRES

The Long 310 tractor features standard agricultural tires, with 5.00-15 (front) and 11.2-28 (rear) dimensions for 2WD, while the 4WD variant uses 9.5x16 (front) and 13.6-24 (rear) tires, allowing for different traction options. The choice between 2WD and 4WD significantly impacts maneuverability and handling in diverse terrains; 4WD enhances traction on softer soils but may contribute to increased tire wear and operational complexity. It's crucial to assess the intended application—field work vs. transport—to select the appropriate configuration for optimal performance.
