I have a '64 Series IIA 88" at my ranch out here in California (Almonds) and I have pulled a AC two bottom plow with it. At one time I was looking for farm impliments for it but they are impossible to find here. I also have a '59 John Deere 430U with a loader, a '46 McCormick Deering 04 with a limb shaker, a '49? Farmall A and a '48 John Deere BW in the old equipment shed. I sometimes will start the Land Rover (warm) with a had crank just to mess with peoples heads.

MG and Badmember, please don't misunderstand me or think that I'm bad mouthing them, I'm not and wasn't. I did compliment the old ones - really could take a beating and were made to. However, the new ones are definately out of my price range, and again, the 8' beds on my pickups are often too small as it is to do the job. Just a fact is all. Even if I could afford one (in addition to my work pickups), it just wouldn't be practical unless I wanted to pull a trailer all the time to haul what needs hauled. As for the new ones, well, I'm sure are loaded with plastics and leathers like the upper scale domestics (Escalades, Expeditions, H2's, etc) so that those who can afford them and buy them pass me on the expressways doing a hundred like sports cars, and look chic while doing so - and good for them, spend the money, keep the economy going. For my needs, just not practical, but then again, neither are Blazers or Suburbans, even when they were "real utility vehicals", long before they became "cutesee sportee utilitee veehicals".

Around me, the only people that have Land Rovers are far wealthier than I am, and buy them as a 4WD status symbol to us domestic owners. At one time were awesome and tough, and may still be, I don't know - the closest they come to getting worked around here is when the owners mistakenly overshoot the driveway into the grass. Nothing personal, but cost too much for me, that and even the 8' beds on my pickups are too small at times.

Same around here. Most of them you see are in the areas of expensive homes and being driven by soccer moms. They are all mixid in with the Navigators, Escalades, Lexus, H2s, and other luxury SUVs. Not likely they will ever see an unpaved road, let alone off-roading. Status symbols.

Mark,

My experience in Middle Tennessee is the same as yours in Indiana. Rovers are way too expensive for regular people and maintenance is outrageously expensive. It is virtually impossible to get into and out of a service center for less than $2,000. My son (who tends to be a yuppie) had a Land Rover Range Rover for about 3 or 4 years. It had a short wheel base and handled poorly. He spent thousands of dollars on maintenance on it and finally came to his senses and sold it.

I think Rovers are way over rated.

On our UK web forum we have guys with old series 1 Land Rovers to the new type Discovery and Range Rovers. We are all nuts about Land Rovers.
Lots of information and help from the friendly forum members, some of us get together taking our Landys off road over old tracks in the UK we post pics of our meet ups in the green lane section.

Cheers Graham
