A.T. Robertson Commentary Luke 20:9

"And he began to speak unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country for a long time." — Luke 20:9 (ASV)

Vineyard (αμπελωνα). Late word from αμπελος (vine), place of vines. So in Mr 12:1; Matthew 21:33.

Let it out (εξεδετο). Second aorist middle of εκδιδωμ, but with variable vowel ε in place of ο of the stem δο (εξεδοτο). Same form in Mark and Matthew.

For a long time (χρονους ικανους). Accusative of extent of time, considerable times or periods of time. Not in Mark and Matthew, though all three have απεδημησεν (went off from home). See on Lu 7:6 for ικανος.
