This tractor was made in Romania. Parts are fairly high and sometimes hard to find. The transmission has all straight cut gears which leads to excessive noise expecially if it has a canopy. The people around here either hate them or love them. As amechanic who works on them I wish they would send them all back across the puddle.

You are thinking of the Fiat- built 160 and 6040, and the current Fiat/New Holland relationship. The 5040 was built in Eastern Europe By Universal Tractor, who has built units for Long. UTB built tractors under license from Fiat, but the 5040 had little, if any Italian content.

The 5040 is a decent little tractor. They were made in Europe, I believe Romania, but can't swear to that. They are nearly identical to the same size tractor with the Long name brand on it. As a matter of fact the 5040 I mowed hay with last year had a Long seat on it. It cost half as much as an Alis- Chambers seat. The tractor isn't too bad overall, but my uncle had alot of hydrolic trouble, and currently the power steering is virtually non-existant. It hasn't been maintanenced alot, or taken care of like it should have been, so there you go. I see them every now and again going from as low as 4000, to as high as 7000 dollars depending on hours, and general condition. Parts are availabe and I don't know that they are any higher than any other brand. Easy on fuel. If it runs good it will do good utility work Greg H.
