Just saw one on the lot of my local Long dealer, a Landtrac 390 HST. Looks very similar to my 360 DTC, except hydro instead of gear. For those of you looking to save some money, but must have HST, these Longs are well worth a look.

I got a question for all you weldors out there. I just got a good deal on some cutting tips for my Oxy/Propane torches. I got 4 each size 4/0 and 5/0 tips and was wondering what the cutting capicity is for these size tips. I searched quite a bit on the net and couldn't find any info. Thanks in...

Just wanted to post a few pics of the canopy with front and rear work lights I just made for my machine. Here is one from the front.

Does any one know the aproximate weight of a yard of top soil ? I am trying to figure out how much I can safely haul with my pickup/trailer. Thanks in advance

Well, due to problems with my lawn tractor, I hadn't been able to mow the field across from my house. As it had got pretty high, I figured I cut it with my brush cutter first, then go back over it with the lawn tractor later. I was suprised with how nice a cut I got with the brush cutter. As I...

Well I just finished my first big project yesterday. I "piped in" a creek running next to my house. I used 15 inch I.D. corrigated plastic pipe, 4 1/2 20 foot sections. I started by widening the creek with the backhoe, to make the pipe sit flat in the channel. I then used the FEL to dump loose...

When I purchased my tractor, my dealer had the tires loaded. I assumed it was with calcium chloride. I had an innertube go bad yesterday, must have been defective as it had a split about 4 inches long in it with no marks what so ever on the tire. I took it to the local tire shop to get it fixed...

Things Dogs Must Try To Remember... I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet. The garbage collector is NOT stealing our stuff. I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm lying under the coffee table. I will not roll my toys behind the fridge. I must...

Basic Rules For Dogs Who Have A Yard To Protect VISITORS: Quickly determine which guest is afraid of dogs. Charge across the room, barking loudly and leap playfully on this person. If the human falls down on the floor and starts crying, lick its face and growl gently to show your...

Had an interesting, if somewhat alarming experience today. I was driving my tractor home from my brothers after doing some yard smoothing for him. I am tooling along in top gear, throttle wide open, when I hit a very bumpy section on my road. All of a sudden my joystick for the FEL bonces down...

Well, I got my toothbar mounted today. Had to shim it a little bit, but I got it nice and snug now. Boy, that is one heavy sucker, my arms are sore from horsing it around to get everything lined up. Unfortunatly, after all the rain we had the past 3 days, the ground is too wet to try it out...

Hello, I plan on getting a load or two of gravel delieverd so I can fix the driveway to my barn. I have a FEL, a rear blade, a boxblade, and a homemade chainlink fence harrow. I was wondering on which implement and what techniques work best to spread the gravel on the drive. Thanks in...

Wouldn't you know it ? It finally dried up here in SW PA, so I went and got a box blade. Got it home, hooked it up and got to play for about an hour, then it started to rain. Ground is now a muddy mess. I guess I'll have to wait for it to dry out again. Ed King
