ENGINE DETAIL

The Long 470 tractor features a reliable Mitsubishi diesel engine with a 2.5 L displacement and indirect injection system, producing 47 hp at 2700 RPM, which is efficient for medium-duty tasks. Its liquid cooling system ensures optimal thermal management during extended operations, while the dry air cleaner enhances engine longevity by preventing dust and debris ingress. However, the 12-volt electric starter may present challenges in extremely cold conditions, where glow plugs might be necessary for reliable starts.

LONG 470 ENGINE

The Long 470 tractor is equipped with a Mitsubishi 2.5L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering a balance of fuel efficiency and power for small to mid-sized agricultural tasks. With a 14.5-gallon (54.9 L) fuel tank, it provides extended operational time, reducing the frequency of refueling during extended fieldwork. However, the compact size may limit its capability for more demanding tasks compared to larger models.

TRANSMISSION

The Long 470 tractor's shuttle transmission provides seamless gear shifts, enhancing maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces or during field work. The 8 forward and reverse gears optimize performance across various terrains, allowing for flexibility in power and speed management. The 275mm dry disc clutch ensures reliable engagement but may require more maintenance compared to wet clutches under heavy use scenarios.

MECHANICAL

The Long 470 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD system, providing enhanced traction and stability across diverse terrains, ideal for tasks such as plowing and hauling. The mechanical rear differential lock offers improved power distribution, while the 8-speed shuttle transmission facilitates smooth direction changes, beneficial for loader work. The wet disc brakes ensure reliable stopping power and reduced wear, making it suitable for both field and road operations, though the two-post ROPS may limit maximum operator safety in rollover scenarios compared to a full cab design.

LONG 470 TIRES

The Long 470 tractor features standard agricultural tires with a front size of 7.5x20 and a rear size of 13.6x28, providing a good balance of stability and traction for field operations. The tire aspect ratios facilitate effective weight distribution and minimize soil compaction, making it suitable for row crop farming. However, operators may find limitations in maneuverability in tight spaces; hence, using it mainly in larger fields would be advantageous.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Long 470 tractor features a 72.8-inch wheelbase, providing stability during field operations and reducing the risk of tipping on uneven terrain. Its front tires (7.5x20) allow for good maneuverability, while the larger rear tires (13.6x28) enhance traction and power transfer to the ground, crucial for heavy tillage tasks. However, the relatively short wheelbase may limit its performance in extremely rough conditions, making it less ideal for challenging agricultural environments.
