I have a 610 Long Tractor (model 1582). It is a 65 hp with all wheel drive and a 3 foot digger bucket on the front. Only trouble I have out of my tractor is that it can not dig hard ground using the front wheels drive engage because I had to competely overhail it at a cost of over $2000.00 (parts only, I did all the work myself). The weaks part of my tractor is the front wheel drive. Other then having to be very careful about how much torque I put on the front wheels while it is engaged, it is the best tractor I have ever had. Just to much power for the front in driver system. If you don't have an all wheel drive tractor, you well find it hard to hurt it. I has alot of power, and works long hard hours with only very little maintenance. I thank it is a excellence tractor other then the front wheel drive system.

I have owned both a new 360 and a used 510. The 510 should be basically the same as the 560 just older. I have been very pleased with both. I did however sell the 360 shortly after I bought the used 510. The 510 had a blown engine and had set out in a field for about two years when I bought it. With a used block and other parts (which were not hard to find) it has served me faithfully for about seven years.

Medium duty, alright for general maintenace work. Easy to work on. Parts are becoming more available on aftermarket sources. Engines can't take either so keep thermostart working properly. If they have not been abuse, they can start well in cold weather. Always keep handclutch down when not engaging or disengaging PTO. Helps to keep hydraulic oil changed about twice a year. They only hold 5 gallons. Finals are not lubricated from transmission oil. They are seperate compartments and require 90 weight or 85-140.

I have had my 560 Long for about 10 years. I have a few beef cattle and mow approximately 90 acres twice a year. Believe it or not, This Long is the only tractor that I currently have that can pull my 850 New Holland baler. I mow, wrake, and bale with it. It has been very dependable over the years. The number of hours is not known. At this point, I don't think I want to know as long as it keeps going. The best advice that I can give you is this, change fluids twice a year, keep filters clean, always operate the unit with the hand clutch in the downward position. I have grown to expect the problem of getting parts. I think this is because of the area that I'm in. Over the course of 10 years, I've replaced the secondary clutch and all clutch fingers. This is the only major operation my tractor has had. Today, it does not use oil or have excessive smoke. It does have a few minor leaks, but will be repaired before I start the hay season.
