ENGINE DETAIL
The Long R9500 tractor is powered by a robust Perkins 6-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 5.8L, delivering optimal torque at 2250 RPM for efficient field operations. Its high compression ratio of 16:1 enhances fuel efficiency, making it suitable for heavy-duty tasks like tilling and hauling. However, the relatively low RPM might limit its speed in certain applications; therefore, it excels in torque-intensive scenarios rather than high-speed transport.

TRANSMISSION
The Long R9500 tractor features a 12-speed forward and 4-speed reverse transmission, enabling precise control over speed and torque for various agricultural tasks. This range of gears allows for better adaptability in different terrains, improving productivity, especially in tasks requiring variable speeds. However, operators may need time to become proficient in shifting gears effectively to maximize efficiency.
| Gears | 12 forward and 4 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Long R9500 tractor features power-assisted steering, enhancing maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces or during low-speed operations. Its independent disc brakes provide superior stopping power and maintenance ease, but may require more frequent checks compared to traditional systems. The optional enclosed cab can improve operator comfort and protection from weather, beneficial for prolonged use in adverse conditions, albeit at an additional cost.

LONG R9500 TIRES
The Long R9500 tractor features a robust tire configuration with 9.50-20 front tires and 16.9-34/18.4-34 rear tires, optimizing traction and stability for various agricultural tasks. The larger rear tires provide improved flotation and weight distribution, making it suitable for heavier implements in soft soil conditions, while the front tires enhance maneuverability. However, the tractor’s relatively limited road speed may challenge transport efficiency between fields.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Long R9500 tractor, with a wheelbase of 94.34 inches (239 cm), offers enhanced stability and maneuverability, particularly beneficial in agricultural applications requiring tight turning radii. Weighing 8,170 lbs (3,705 kg), it provides substantial traction, ideal for heavy-duty tasks like plowing or towing; however, its weight may challenge transportability. The tire configuration features a narrow front tire (9.50-20), which may afford quicker steering response, but the wider rear tire (16.9-34) aids in larger ground engagement and increased flotation.
