I just saw a LandTrac 300 DTC for the first time and was impressed. I drove it around the lot and it turned great, the front end loader seemed to respond well and it was easy to shift and move around. It had all the bells and whistles of the high end John Deere of like size and was much less expensive. And.. it appeared to be of extremely good quality. I'd sure like to talk to someone who is intimately familiar with the little tractor. At this point the only draw-back I can see is the potential for poor resale value since its an "Off-Brand" tractor - made in Korea - but aren't they all - it has a Mitsubishi 4 cyl diesel which I've heard is good. Any thoughts out there?

Dave, A buddy of mine has the 360 model. Overall I like the tractor, it turns tight, seems well balanced, fuel effecient,nice shuttle shift, has good power. Now for the downside. The tractor broke the FWA axle at the point where it will make contact with the frame when the axle pivots. The dealer didn't bother telling him there was a recall on it until it was sitting there with the wheel off of it. The precleaner for the radiator don't help much because the radiator still plugs when bush hogging and don't even think of using water to wash it out because all it does is make it mad and really plug up, use air and you will still end up removing the radiator to clean it. The radiator has a very tight fin pattern. The gear shifter seems to jam up on occasion and won't pull up or down(column shift). The rear end and tranny are very noisy like it is on its last leg, dealer says it is ok. The loader has zero feel to the joystick control like it is an off on switch and not a variable control. The tractor doesn't start well and takes alot of crank time. This tractor has had Schaeffer's brand lubricants throughout since break in. The tractor now has @300 hours on it. For the price I dont think you could go wrong. If you intend to use this tractor for utility work and not just ag, I would option for the back hoe type tire and not the ag bar tread. Good Luck, Kent

Great Briefing on the 360 - which is the same tractor except that is has a 36 HP mitsubishi vs the 30 HP. Your comments were exactly the kind I was hoping to hear. Interesting - when I saw and drove the tractor, I too experienced with long crank time before she started up. But afterward it (brand new) seemed to run smooth and quiet. And I was impressed with the turn radius. Didn't have problems with the shifting, but then I didn't put any time on it. Nice to know about the axle recall - thanks. The radiator pre-cleaner did look a little weak and was hard to get to with the Front end loader in place.

Thanks again for your thoughts - I'll keep them all in mind.
Dave
