Introduction
UTB/Universal 560 Utility Tractor
The UTB/Universal 560 is a utility tractor manufactured in Brasov, Romania, between 1975 and 1985. Designed for general agricultural and utility operations, it was distributed under the Long brand in certain markets as part of the 550 series architecture.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder UTB/Universal D-121 diesel engine. With a displacement of 3.1 liters (190.7 cubic inches) and a compression ratio of 17:1, the engine produces 60 horsepower (44.7 kW) at a rated speed of 2400 RPM. Lubrication is managed by an 11.05-quart oil capacity, while the cooling system requires 14.7 quarts of coolant.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 560 utilizes a partially synchronized transmission providing 8 forward gears and 2 reverse gears. Synchronization is specifically applied to shifts between gears 3-4 and 7-8 to assist the operator during speed transitions. The tractor is available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations, featuring a pedal-operated differential lock with an automatic disengagement function.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system operates at a pressure of 2133 psi (147.1 bar) with a total pump flow of 5.75 gallons per minute (21.8 liters per minute), supported by a 4.5-gallon hydraulic reservoir. It features a Category I rear hitch capable of lifting 2,660 lbs (1206 kg), paired with a standard 540 RPM rear power take-off (PTO).
