@noehueber6602 thank you, I visited France 2 years ago. The Sulky Burel invited me to see their factory 🙂 A lot of used tractors is also imported to Poland but they are usually very exploited and in poor condition. I think traders buy the cheapest most used up ones
I worked on that Long combine that Michael owns, he bought it from my landlord. With the help of a mechanic from Poland we were able to get it running and just a couple weeks ago it was on a truck and sent to Michael
My wife's grandfather has a tractor from somewhere in the former eastern block. It is red and came from the factory with a generator built under the seat. It is a good tractor, it still runs today. I can't remember the name.. good show.
We have a farmer by me (in Wisconsin USA) who basically only farms with long equipment. He has a combine but I haven’t seen it out in a bit. I’ve ran it a little bit and it’s definitely different then a American made combine
I've never heard of any polish combines exported to Australia. I think czech Zetor exported some tractors there. Polish companies like Rolmako or Euromilk export machines to Australia nowadays
It has nothing to do with Claas, but my friend who worked in the FMŻ design office told me, that they were testing Clayson combines and got some ideas from it. And Bizon Giant is in fact very similar constructions to FAHR, but i forgot what specifc model
@@MatheoMisiakI will get you some today or tomorrow of it and send them to you I have one and love it but need some parts and can’t find them in the us
LONG equiptment company was based it Tarboro NC, through all the years Long always used foreign or equiptment built by other company's. Tobacco barns were the only thing they ever built. LONG was started in 1948 selling t he long model A tractor cheap to the new farmers after the war , that could not afford a better known tractor. Still doing business as W.R Long company building tractor attachments in Tarboro on cedar st
We have a Ford 640 combine, which is the same as the Claas Senator in Europe... Ford cut a deal with Claas to import their combines into the USA in the very early 70's using a loophole in the import laws of the time; if the combines were shipped into the USA without an engine, they could be imported as "machine parts" and thus not taxed with import duties. Ford bought the engineless combines from Claas and then installed either a Ford Industrial 300 cubic inch (4.9 liter) inline six gasoline engine, or a Ford four cylinder tractor diesel engine. Ours has the gasoline engine. Ford actually imported three models, selling them as the Ford 620, 630, and 640 combines, with the numbers from smallest to largest. IIRC the 630 was called the "Mercator" by Claas and the 640 model was the "Senator" by Claas. I don't remember what they called the 620 model. They were originally painted in the 'lime green and red" colors Claas used on their combines, but were painted Ford power blue in the USA. As the paint wore off the header and underside where stalks rubbed, the lime green paint became apparent. It's a good combine, ours came with an 18 foot rigid grain header (platform, typically used for taller growing grain crops like wheat, oats, and rice, versus "flex" platforms with a flexible knife and header sheets that can follow the ground, typically used on soybeans cut off at ground level). Dad and Grandpa bought the combine new in about 73 or 74... I was just a very little kid at the time. They got it brand new for $12,000 which was very cheap compared to other combines, most smaller, like John Deere or Gleaner at the time. They paid for it in a single year by combining grain sorghum overgrown with morning glory vines that had sprung up and ate up the crop in a very hot, wet June in 74 or 75... All these other brands of combine tried to cut the grain and vines but would quickly plug up and grind to a halt with wads of vines wound around the header and into the threshing cylinder... Dad learned after a few tries that he could quickly lower the concave adjusting lever down to the floor under the seat when he felt a wad of vines going into the cylinder, and it would beat them around and toss them onto the straw walkers, making a loud "BRRTT!" sound... once the sound stopped the vines were out of the cylinder and he could pull the concave lever back up to the proper notch to continue threshing. The wad of vines and partially threshed heads got tossed out the back, allowing him to continue. No other combine on the market at that time had that feature and allowed him to harvest several thousand acres of vine infested grain sorghum no other machine could harvest without plugging up, paying for the machine. Of course within a couple years or so President Jimmy Carter would impose a grain embargo on Russia over their invasion of Afghanistan, triggering the US farm crisis of the 1980's, and we parked the combine in the barn and quit growing grain for over a decade because the grain prices collapsed for over a decade, so we grew all cotton. There was one other 640 combine sold in our part of the Texas Gulf Coast, actually owned and ran by my seed/chemical/fertilizer dealer's brother in law down near the town of Vanderbilt, used to combine grain sorghum. There was one other Ford combine, a smaller 630 model, owned by a couple of brothers over on the other side of Kendleton, TX who were small farmers and custom combiners. They were building a steel pole barn to house their combine and unfortunately a vehicle ran off the road and crashed into the back of the machine parked inside the frame of the shed, seriously damaging the rear end of the straw walkers and back end hood of the combine, and they never got it working again. They finally sold it to a combine parts scrapper in Bay City and tore the shed frame down after a number of years. I finally bought it from the scrapper when their combine parts business was shutting down, and hauled it back to the Needville Farm and removed as many parts as I could from it before finally selling what was left for scrap iron about 20 years ago. Ford's deal with Claas only lasted a few years... I don't know how many Claas combines they imported, but they were never terribly big sellers. I know Dad and Grandpa got their Ford cheap because it had sat on a dealer lot in Victoria, TX for a year or two. We still have it in what's left of the old barn which is collapsing from hurricane damage. It was running and harvesting our grain sorghum and soybean crops back in the early 2000's when we quit farming row crops and switched to all cow/calf operation. Ford briefly sold a model "642" combine which I remember reading was actually a rebranded Long combine, which would make it the same as the Long combines as far as I know. They never sold any 642's in my area, not that I'm aware of. It was probably a very small number of combines, and I think they only sold them for a year or two, so more like an experiment than anything else I suppose. Ford by that time was already partners with New Holland for a long time, New Holland primarily selling hay mowers, rakes, haybines, and balers, and in the mid-late 70's New Holland expanded into selling combines, so Ford ultimately decided not to bother offering and selling a competing re-branded combine from another manufacturer under the Ford name painted blue, versus just selling the New Holland combines which most Ford dealers were already selling New Holland hay equipment anyway. For years Ford had maintained their own shortline of competing hay mowers and rakes and even balers while still selling New Holland hay equipment as well, but eventually dropped most of their shortline equipment in favor of just selling New Holland equipment, which makes sense-- maintaining parts inventories for competing brands and stocking both on the same dealer lot competing against each other was expensive and didn't make a lot of sense honestly, particularly into the late 70's and 80's as equipment became bigger and more expensive and sales volumes fell off as fewer but larger farms became the norm... The Ford 642 was only in the lineup for a year maybe two and then discontinued and replaced by early New Holland combines...

I love these videos and history. from this vidéo great job!! And hey from Alsace in France
@noehueber6602 thank you, I visited France 2 years ago. The Sulky Burel invited me to see their factory 🙂 A lot of used tractors is also imported to Poland but they are usually very exploited and in poor condition. I think traders buy the cheapest most used up ones
J ai fait venir un long 1310 bonjour de France
I worked on that Long combine that Michael owns, he bought it from my landlord. With the help of a mechanic from Poland we were able to get it running and just a couple weeks ago it was on a truck and sent to Michael
Nice, last time I've spoke with Michael he told me that he need to make some repairs to the engine

Belarus
Long made great machines to bad they don't make Longs today
Need one to go with my 610DT
Good to seu you again friend!
1:50 the person who owns that long tractor actually has a RUclips channel and has a full video on it. His channel is “bandit farmer”
Love these videos can you add the polish videos to English please. Very intresting
I plan to, thanks :)
We have a farmer by me (in Wisconsin USA) who basically only farms with long equipment. He has a combine but I haven’t seen it out in a bit. I’ve ran it a little bit and it’s definitely different then a American made combine
do you have any pictures of this combine?
Awesome vid, i had herd of LONG but not full history of tractors nor combines, i wonder if any combines made it to Australia?
I've never heard of any polish combines exported to Australia. I think czech Zetor exported some tractors there. Polish companies like Rolmako or Euromilk export machines to Australia nowadays
Never heard of them or seen anything like that
have a long1310 4 wheel drive well built.
nice, could you shot some photos of it or make a short video?
Erinnern mich aan die Serie Dominator 80 / 105 von Claas
It has nothing to do with Claas, but my friend who worked in the FMŻ design office told me, that they were testing Clayson combines and got some ideas from it. And Bizon Giant is in fact very similar constructions to FAHR, but i forgot what specifc model
Do you know who made the long round balers
do you have any photos of it? I've never seen Long baler, but If i have a photo i could look if it was produced in Europe
@@MatheoMisiakI will get you some today or tomorrow of it and send them to you I have one and love it but need some parts and can’t find them in the us
@@dylanhockaday9878 ok, please feel free to reach me via mail, facebook or IG
Can you do yugoslavian trsctors and combines
I have such a plan, but there was a lot of tractor brands in Yugoslavia
Reminds me of claas combine
Does anyone know if long is still made over seas 🌊
This Long company is not active anymore :(
@MatheoMisiak thanks

Very interesting. I didn't know that his company still exists. Maybe I will contact them :)
