The story of Long Manufacturing commenced in 1948 with the creation of their initial tractor model. Shortly thereafter, the company shifted its focus away from in-house production, turning instead to the importation of tractors sourced from Uzina Tractorul Brasov (UTB) and a selection of Landini machines. Facing financial difficulties, Long declared bankruptcy in 1985, only to re-emerge in 1987 following a comprehensive restructuring. A significant turning point arrived in 1998 with the acquisition of Long Agribusiness by the Escort Group from India. This led to the phasing out of the Long name, replaced by the Farmtrac brand identity. Ultimately, Farmtrac North America ceased operations towards the end of 2008.

LS Tractors originated as an integral part of Hyundai's operations. Subsequently, in 1983, the tractor segment transitioned ownership to GoldStar. Reflecting a corporate evolution, the division became known as LG Tractors in 1995, coinciding with GoldStar’s rebranding. A significant shift occurred in 2005 when the engineering team established its independence from LG, adopting the name LS. For several years, LS provided tractors to Montana Tractors for distribution within the United States. However, in 2009, LS Tractor USA was founded, allowing the company to engage with the American market through direct sales.
