ENGINE DETAIL
The Long 460 tractor features a robust 3-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 2.3 L, delivering 45 hp at a rated RPM of 2400, making it suitable for moderate agricultural tasks. Its oil bath air cleaner aids in longevity in dusty environments, while the high compression ratio of 17:1 enhances fuel efficiency and torque output at 1500 RPM. However, operators should be aware of potential challenges related to the oil and coolant capacities, which may necessitate more frequent maintenance checks to ensure optimal performance.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Long 460 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with options for 6, 8, or 9 speeds, enhancing versatility in varied agricultural settings. A key advantage of this design is improved gear shifting comfort, which can facilitate better control during field operations. However, the complexity of partial synchronization may lead to increased maintenance requirements compared to fully synchronized systems.
| Description |
6-speed partially synchronized/9-speed partially synchronized/8-speed |
TRANSMISSION 1
The Long 460 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with six forward and two reverse gears, allowing for smoother gear shifts between specific ranges (2-3 and 5-6), which enhances operational efficiency during varied tasks. The oil capacity of 18 quarts (17.0 L) ensures adequate lubrication, but may require frequent monitoring to prevent overheating in prolonged use. While the six-speed transmission benefits maneuverability, users of later models should be aware that certain capabilities may differ post-1979 production changes.

TRANSMISSION 2
The Long 460 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with a creeper gear, providing enhanced control at low speeds, ideal for tasks requiring precision, such as tilling or planting. With 9 forward and 3 reverse gears, operators benefit from versatile speed selection for varying terrain and operational needs. However, the partially synchronized design may present challenges in smooth shifting under load compared to fully synchronized systems, particularly for inexperienced operators.

TRANSMISSION 3
The Long 460 tractor features an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, providing versatility for various field operations and terrain challenges. Its design, dating back to 1979, may lack some modern enhancements in shifting efficiency or ergonomics found in newer models. Operators should consider maintenance implications of older gear systems, ensuring proper lubrication and potential part availability, especially for intensive use scenarios.

MECHANICAL
The Long 460 tractor offers a versatile drivetrain with options for both 2WD and 4WD configurations, enhancing traction and maneuverability in varied terrains. The differential lock with automatic disengagement ensures optimal power distribution during challenging conditions, while the range of transmission options (ranging from 6 to 9 speeds) enhances operational flexibility. However, the open operator station design may expose the operator to environmental factors, which could be a drawback in adverse weather conditions.

LONG 460 TIRES
The Long 460 tractor features versatile tire options, optimizing performance for both agricultural and lawn care applications. The 2WD configuration enhances maneuverability for lighter tasks, while the 4WD option with larger rear tires (14.9x28) improves traction in challenging terrains. It's important to note that the turf tires (7.50x16 front and 18.4x16A rear) provide a gentler footprint for lawn care, minimizing soil compaction but may not offer the same load capacity as agricultural tires.
