Anybody know how deep the water has to get before it floats?
Does the L3400 float

I guess that would depend on how your external flotation devices were arranged under the tractor chassis. right?

Assuming the tractor is totally incompressible [which it isnt], several hundred miles depth aughta compress water enuf to equal the density of the tractor. That would be the float point. It will be far under water when it "floats".

So I shouldn't count on floating through this hurricane?

I'd go with several (many, large) helium balloons, and float above it all
Good luck!

on RFD-TV :: Rural America's Most Important Network but have seen them Perrin Boys take their L35 Bota TBL in what looks to be maybe 2 to 3 1/2 feet of water working with the backhoe.
But of course never floated it.

It depends - are your tires filled - otherwise I agree with Spyderlk

Thanks for all the reccomendations
This morning the weater people are forecasting 1 foot of rain for tomorrow - I neve saw them forecast in feet before and I have never seen that much rain in a day I guess tomorrow we will see how much is hype & how much is real. Filled the tank of the Bota & have a new chain for the saw. I'm ready
"THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS FOR 5 TO 10 INCHES OF RAINFALL ACROSS
INTERIOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS ACROSS
THE EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES. THEREFORE A FLOOD WATCH
REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR MOST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND."
The above quote is from the National Weather Service forecast for Central CT tonight and Sunday Aug 28th 2011
Even five inches of rain sounds like a disaster. It it is anywhere close to 10" that could be truly terrible. Best of luck and stay safe.
