Long 260 vs Long A

Verdict: Long 260 vs Long A

The Long 260 and the Long A are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Long A leads on rated power with 26 hp against 24 hp. Long 260 is the lighter machine (1,483 kg vs 1,641 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Long 260 is the newer design (1980 vs 1948). In short: choose the Long A for outright pulling power, or the Long 260 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
