ENGINE DETAIL
The Long 360 tractor, powered by a D-115 3-cylinder diesel engine, offers a compact 2.3 L displacement with a notable torque output of 96.16 lb-ft at 1590 RPM, making it suitable for moderate agricultural tasks. Its liquid-cooled design and 17:1 compression ratio enhance efficiency and performance, while the relatively low rated RPM of 2255 may limit speed over extended distances. Consider potential challenges in maintenance with valve clearances and the engine's oil and coolant capacities, which necessitate routine checks for optimal longevity.

LONG 360 ENGINE
The Long 360 tractor is powered by a 2.3L 3-cylinder diesel engine, delivering efficient fuel consumption while providing adequate torque for various agricultural tasks. Its compact design enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, making it suitable for small to medium-sized farms. However, potential buyers should consider the engine's limited power output for heavy-duty applications, which may require larger machinery for demanding operations.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Long 360 tractor features a 6-speed partially synchronized transmission, offering smoother gear transitions compared to fully unsynchronized systems, which enhances operational efficiency in varying terrains. However, the availability of an 8-speed variant may provide more versatility by offering additional ratios for optimal power management, particularly in heavy-duty applications. Operators should consider the balance between ease of use and the operational demands when selecting between these transmission options, as the partially synchronized 6-speed may suffice for general farming, while the 8-speed can be advantageous in complex or variable field conditions.
| Description | 6-speed partially synchronized/8-speed |
TRANSMISSION 1
The Long 360 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission, facilitating smoother gear shifts between gears 2-3 and 5-6, beneficial for enhanced operational comfort and efficiency. With 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, it provides adequate versatility for various agricultural tasks, although the unsynchronized 1st and 4th gears may present challenges when maneuvering at lower speeds or in reverse. Its oil capacity of 18 quarts (17.0 L) supports optimal lubrication, promoting reliability, but regular maintenance is critical to ensure performance longevity.

| Gears | 6 forward and 2 reverse |
| Oil capacity | 18 qts/17.0 L |
| Description | Shifts between gears 2-3 and 5-6 are synchronized. |
SPEEDS
| Description | With 12.4x28 rear tires./ |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Long 360 tractor features an 8 forward and 2 reverse gear configuration, which allows for efficient speed selection and versatility in various agricultural tasks. The 8-speed transmission provides better control over power delivery, making it suitable for both high-speed fieldwork and low-speed heavy lifting. However, the limitation of only 2 reverse gears may restrict maneuverability in tighter spaces, necessitating careful planning during operations such as plowing or tilling.
| Gears | 8 forward and 2 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Long 360 tractor offers versatile 2WD and optional 4WD configurations, enhancing traction in varied terrains, though 4WD may be more beneficial for heavy-duty applications. The independent contracting band brakes provide reliable stopping power, which is vital for safety, especially with heavier loads. The option for manual or power steering allows for operator preference, although the open operator station may expose the driver to environmental elements, impacting comfort during prolonged usage.

LONG 360 TIRES
The Long 360 tractor features a tire configuration of 7.50-16 for the front and 14.9-28 for the rear, which provides a good balance of flotation and traction, ideal for various agricultural tasks. The rear tires' larger size enhances ground contact and stability during heavy-duty operations, while the front tire's smaller diameter aids in steering precision. However, potential challenges include the need for careful weight distribution to avoid front-end lifting and ensuring compatibility with field conditions to prevent soil compaction.
