What's up with Long

I can't imagine that they are anything on the scale of the Big Three as to the manpower they can throw at a project.

Bringing 5 new models to market would be quite an undertaking.

But, they have a great foundation, with their Farmtrac line and the LandTrac LG/Mitsubishi products. Both are solid, proven platforms, I hope the new continues that trend.

Re: What\'s up with Long

I own a LandTrac 410DTC, with a 5340 loader. It has been excellent thus far having had it a year. My dealer has been selling and getting replacement tractors all the while ,while the web site has been being upgraded. Having looked at Deere,Ford,Kubota,andZetor.I made my purchase of the Long. With all the features open platform I felt more tractor than the rest and the dealer is reliable. As luck would have it I had a hyro leak (a weep not stream) dealer gave me brand new 360w/loader to use until mine was repaired. I also know of a guy who had trouble with a Lontrac tractor which Long came in and rerplaced his with brand new machine with little fuss. My dealer has many units out with little trouble mine being the only Landtrac he had to fix thus far. I would not hesitate to buy from Longand would answer any questions about mine if someone wants more info.

This is the sort of bs that finally convinced me to go Kioti.
It,s too bad because they seem to have some nice machines,but unfortunately more excuses than a pregnant nun....Mike

I see that I'm not the only one that has been keeping track. Well I e-mailed them today, I guess that it was really yesterday to most of you. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif My days are at night. Anyway, I ask when we get to see the update now that the 31st has come and gone. I don't expect an answer before Monday though. I have had pretty good luck getting a response, from Angela anyway. I'm am still watching for the update....

I was just checking the website out. I was told that it should be up today and was just waiting to see. I guess that I will have to go to the semi-local Long dealer and see if he has the new models. I'm always looking for new toys. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
I did find on their website that I had to change the resolution to 1024x768 to see the whole page.(my antique monitor) Also if anyone is searching for a dealer in their area, use your area code for best results. I used the zip code and found no dealers in my area. There is one 25mi away. When I used the area code I found 4 dealers. I guess that I will have to be the 'PITA' that I am known for being and send an e-mail to the webmaster. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif
Hope that everyone that is interested, enjoys the new site.
