ENGINE DETAIL
The Long 480 tractor, equipped with a 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine offering 48 hp at 2400 RPM, is well-suited for moderate agricultural tasks requiring efficiency and reliability. With a displacement of 2.8 L and an oil capacity of 6.3 quarts, it is critical to maintain regular oil changes to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity. However, the coolant capacity of 14 quarts suggests a robust cooling system, which may enhance durability during extended operations, but could also increase maintenance demands if leaks or overheating issues arise.

LONG 480 ENGINE
The Long 480 tractor features a robust UTB 2.8L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing a balance of power and fuel efficiency ideal for medium-duty agricultural applications. The 16.4-gallon (62.1 L) fuel tank allows for extended operational periods between refuels, enhancing productivity in the field. However, the compact engine size may limit its towing capacity compared to larger models, so users should assess their specific power needs before selection.

TRANSMISSION 2
The Long 480 tractor features an 8-speed transmission for both forward and reverse operations, offering enhanced maneuverability and versatility across various agricultural tasks. This gearbox configuration allows for precise speed control, making it suitable for both heavy-duty towing and fieldwork. However, the complexity of the transmission may require more maintenance and operator training compared to simpler models.

MECHANICAL
The Long 480 tractor features a 4x2 drivetrain, with the optional 4WD enhancing traction in challenging terrains, making it suitable for both light field work and transport tasks. Its mechanical band brakes provide reliable stopping power but may require more maintenance compared to hydraulic brake systems. The 8-speed transmission enables versatile speed control, though the limited gear range may pose challenges during heavy load applications or varied field conditions.

LONG 480 TIRES
The Long 480 tractor offers both 2WD and 4WD configurations, with tire specifications optimized for varying traction needs; the 2WD utilizes 6.00-16 front tires for agility, while the 4WD features larger 8.3-24 fronts for enhanced stability and off-road performance. The common rear tire size of 14.9-28 provides consistent load-bearing capacity across both setups, allowing for effective maneuverability in different terrains. While the 2WD version may excel in flat, dry conditions, the 4WD system significantly improves traction in muddy or uneven fields, making it advantageous for diverse agricultural operations.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Long 480 tractor features a compact 2WD wheelbase of 83 inches, which enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, making it suitable for small farms or orchards. The 4WD alternative offers slightly increased stability with an 84-inch wheelbase, facilitating better traction on uneven terrain, although with potentially increased tire wear. The tire specifications, particularly the 14.9-28 rear tires, provide good flotation and support for heavier loads, though operators should consider potential challenges in soil compaction when working on sensitive agricultural lands.
