Canopy Long 560 Diesel, Anyone know abut them?

[knightrider955]

Im looking at a Long 560 tractor with a loader. Everything on it works and its in good shape. The motor has been completely overhauled with the reciepts to prove it. I just own 3 acres and want to do some light landscaping. Is this a good first tractor? It has a post hole auger that comes with it which is a big plus. I had never even heard of long before I stumbled across this tractor. Is there anything I should look for be for purchasing it?

I have had a couple ... Long 460 and a Long 320. Both where good tractors. Anytime I needed parts I used the website for Long Parts and they where shipped directly to me.

When it came time to sell, they traded pretty fast and reasonable.

Thats good to hear. I hope I have the same luck with the one Im getting.

I bought it!! Ive got all the reciepts for the rebuilt motor. All the parts were ordered e few monthes ago so I know parts are available. Actually Long is now Farmtrac. I love it!!! Its my first real tractor. My Oliver 77 doesnt count

Hi,

I just bought a Long 2510 w/ a Long 1550C loader. Mine has about 2900 hours and is a 3 cylinder diesel.

I'm quite happy with it and there seem to be parts available. Where did the engine rebuild parts come from?

Happy tractoring!
