After long thought I decided my Sovereign Six speed would be better with a rear lift than the Baron Shuttle, so I switched it. Was pretty easy really. Now I have a 36" tiller on the 6 speed, and a dozer blade and chains on the Landlord hydro. And I just happen to have about an acre for these 2 to play on this week! The last pic is part of it.

Either the Sovereign 6 speed or the Landlord hydro is going to get a right hand lift from a 6200 and have both the tiller and dozer blade, weights & chains full time

Larry you need to look into a fleet rate on your fuel.

Or some diesels, That Landlord 7112H with the K301 is the worst of the lot, barely goes 2 hours on a 3 gallon tank. But what am I thinking, gas went down to $3.859/gallon here.... CHEAP!

Nice pair is right! Now we need some action shots! If we combined some of my attachments with your fleet, we'd have a dedicated tractor for just about eveything made for these tractors! Lots of work could be gettin done. I need to learn how to make videos....

Our 312D was a very thirsty beast as well.. It would run out of gas before our B10 mowing side by side. I ran my 3414s all day moving gravel and used less than a tank of gas.

You will get your wish on the action shots, and I have been doing digital video for 8 years now. There is no broadband here cept sattelite, so I plug along with dial-up. But I dont do video online. You have a few attachments I dont have, but I do have more than 2 for each tractor, although setting up half a dozen tractors with mower decks would be almost as silly as snowblowers...

I haven't run my 312 enough to tell, but it's tank is either 2.5 or 3 gallons to the B10's 1.5 gallon tank. In fact I'm considering taking the BIG TEN out instead of the 7112H. The 4" wider blade, counter weight and float feature gives much better control than the spring loaded lift rod and and incremental quadrant of the later tractors. Progress! And the old Briggs 10 horse runs at least twice as long per gallon as the "new" 12 horse.

I don't know how to put a quote in the post. Larry said his gas was 3.89? Here in Missouri it's 3.41! But for right now that just means I can push mow my lawn more. If I have any luck I'll paint this week.
