Row Crop

Long A

The Long A is a row crop tractor built for farming tasks. It has a 2-wheel drive system and manual steering, making it simple to operate. The tractor uses a basic transmission with 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, allowing for different speeds in the field. Under the hood, the Long A has a Continental engine that runs on gasoline. This engine has 4 cylinders and is cooled by liquid. It's not very powerful compared to other tractors, with a small engine size of 163 cubic inches. The engine runs at 1800 rpm, which is lower than average. The tractor is quite light, weighing only 3618 pounds, making it easy to move around but less suitable for heavy-duty work. It starts up with a 6-volt electric starter, which was common for older tractors.
