ENGINE DETAIL

The Long 610 tractor features a robust UTB/Universal 4-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 3.6L, providing significant torque at lower RPMs, ideal for heavy-duty tasks. With a bore/stroke ratio of 4.02"x4.33", it offers a balanced performance for both power and efficiency, but its rated RPM of 2400 may limit high-speed applications. The 12-volt starter system ensures reliable ignition, yet maintaining battery health is crucial for optimal starting performance under varied conditions.

LONG 610 ENGINE

The Long 610 tractor features a UTB/Universal 3.6L 4-cylinder diesel engine, known for its durability and fuel efficiency. This powertrain offers a balance between torque output and low operating costs, making it suitable for various agricultural applications. However, potential challenges may include limited aftermarket support due to less common engine specifications, impacting parts availability and servicing options in certain regions.

TRANSMISSION

The Long 610 tractor features an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, providing versatility in various field conditions and applications. This wide range of gears allows for precise control in different terrain and tasks, enhancing operational efficiency. However, the relatively limited reverse gear options may pose challenges in scenarios requiring frequent backward maneuvering, such as tight spaces or when reversing implements.

Gears 8 forward and 2 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Long 610 tractor features a 4x2 drive option, with the alternative being a 4x4 MFWD configuration for enhanced traction in varied terrains, making it versatile for agricultural applications. The hydrostatic power steering enhances maneuverability, enabling easier handling in tight spaces, while the independent contracting band brakes provide effective stopping power. However, the 8-speed transmission may limit high-speed operations compared to models with a more extensive range, making it less ideal for tasks requiring rapid transport over longer distances.

LONG 610 TIRES

The Long 610 tractor features Ag front tires (7.50-16) and larger Ag rear tires (16.9-28), providing a good balance of traction and stability, particularly in field applications. The wide rear tires enhance flotation and reduce soil compaction, which is advantageous for crop health. However, the tractor's weight distribution may necessitate careful handling on inclines to avoid overturning.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Long 610 tractor features a 77-inch wheelbase providing stability during operation, particularly in field conditions. With a weight of 4,695 lbs, it offers substantial traction, although its heavy build may limit maneuverability in tight spaces. The front 7.50-16 and rear 16.9-28 tire sizes enhance flotation and reduce soil compaction, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks but potentially limiting performance on steeper terrain.
