I've been looking at both the Long 280 and the 360. They are a quality machine manufactured by Lucky Goldstar with Mitsubushi power. As far as I can determine they are a superior machine to other manufacturers in their class. That said they have only been imported for a couple of years so they have no real track record. Another consideration is that Long dealers are far and few between and its been my experience that no matter what machine you own on occassion you need the experience and resources of a dealer. One of the reasons that these tractors are attractive to me is that the local dealer has a solid reputation and Long has a fully stocked parts warehouse in Syracuse so overnight delivery of parts is available. If you live in the northeast parts are not a problem.

Thanks for the information you have provided, I failed to mention that along with the frost wall i would be excavation for 4' crawl space. Whether or not i would be doing the excavation i will need a tractor to extract many elm and maple stumps approx. 4-5" in diameter, rotary cut thorn apple and cathartica bushes. I will also be brushhogging about 2 acres of overgrown meadow and snow plowing about 125' of drive. Part of my question is whether a compact will do the same quality as an industrial unit. I have the time as i intend to use my building as a hunting cabin with the idea of eventually adding on and useing it as my retirement home. I have looked at the Ford/NH 1720, and the equivalent
JD and Kubota. Another machine that has caught my eye in the Mitsubushi powered
Long. I know nothing about the machine but the dealer has an outstanding reputation. I know the machines i've looked at will be appropriate for property maintenance, but i'm concerned about excavation capabilities. I don't need to worry about speed, but whether they can get the job done.

Again, thanks.
