Long – other models: the collective page of North American import tractors outside the named ranges, from the 310 to the 2710 and the R9500 Special, 21 to 89 kW, Romanian UTB and Perkins diesel engines
This page gathers the Long tractors the register could not assign to a named range. Long was not an independent tractor maker but an American importer and distributor that sold tractors from the Romanian maker UTB (Uzina de Tractoare Braşov), which exported under the Universal brand, in North America under the Long name. Long's type numbers follow their own numbering, distinct from the original Romanian programme, in which the first digits indicate the power class and the last the equipment level; the R9500 Special marks a later, more powerful version. The engines come overwhelmingly from UTB's own diesel production, supplemented by a few Perkins units in the higher power classes.

The register lists here 18 versions with 21 to 89 kW, or 28 to 120 hp, all with diesel engines.
Long tractors were widespread in the 1960s to 1980s especially in the rural eastern United States and in Canada, where they served as a cheaper alternative to the established American brands for smaller and medium farms; importing eastern European tractors under a western brand name was a common business model at the time.
On used examples, the condition of the UTB diesel engines and the injection pump, the availability of spare parts, which can be limited on Romanian import tractors, the state of gearbox and clutch, and rust on sheet metal count; parts are carried by specialist dealers in eastern European import tractors.
