Will be going to Tazewell Monday to see for myself, but in the meantime, a few questions. Mainly, I'm having trouble imagining how to do things without a tilt/angle/offset-capable rear blade.
1. I understand the attachments go on the front of a PT, but the 425 does have some rear hydraulics, right? Is that only for a backhoe, or can you either buy or mod some pull-behind attachments and if so, can you angle/tilt/offset them?
2. Can you tilt or angle the front PT attachments using the hydraulics? Any ability to offset for ditching? I need to do quite a bit of ditching. And speaking of ditching, how do you guys do it with a PT?
3. In terms of grading/maintaining all of our roads--long gravel driveway, rougher steep dirt road, and all the trails through the woods--what's the best way to create/maintain these with the PT?
4. Am planning on the stock bucket with tooth bar, box blade of course, maybe a brush cutter, and not sure what else. Anyone have the post hole digger, and how well does it work?
Thanks!
