ENGINE DETAIL
The Zetor diesel engine in the Long 900 tractor, featuring a 4.7L displacement and 85hp at 2200 RPM, offers substantial torque for agricultural applications, enhancing productivity. With a compression ratio of 17:1, it promotes efficient combustion, potentially leading to better fuel economy but may require higher quality diesel. Consider the oil and coolant capacities (10.5 quarts and 19 quarts, respectively) which support longer operational intervals but necessitate regular maintenance checks to prevent overheating and ensure optimal engine performance.

LONG 900 ENGINE
The Long 900 tractor features a Zetor 4.7L 4-cylinder diesel engine, which offers a balance of power (approximately 100 horsepower) and fuel efficiency, making it suitable for medium-duty agricultural tasks. Its compact size enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, though it may limit attachment options as compared to larger models. Ideal for small to mid-sized farms, the Long 900 can excel in applications like tilling or hay production, provided proper care is maintained to ensure engine longevity and performance.

TRANSMISSION
The Long 900 tractor features a two-speed power shift system with a total of 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, enhancing its versatility in various agricultural tasks. The integrated power shift torque converter (TC) offers under-drive functionality, allowing for smoother transitions and better torque management, which is particularly advantageous for heavy-duty towing or land cultivation. However, with an oil capacity of 12 quarts (11.4L), regular maintenance of the lubrication system is crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
