I am very interested in the PT 425. Thanks Moss and the rest of you for the very informative posts!
I own a 31hp gas Ventrac 4200 VXD and use it mostly for mowing. I am however going to be doing a lot of digging and clearing on my 5 acres of ground over the next few years. My primary use will still be mowing 3 acres of ground. I do not care if the cut is golf course perfect, but do want at least a good cut of the grass.
I live in Lancaster county PA and will be working on the side of a very large hill. 20 deg, and 25 deg slope.
I have a couple of questions about the 425. I thought I read somewhere that it is not as stable as the Ventrac? Would it be more stable than say a Kubota BX?
How does it cut compared to a VT?
Quality of build compared to the VT?
How about mowing up and down hills, power when the PTO is running, cutting up the hill? I'm concerned about only 25hp?
I LOVE the ability to raise the bucket pretty high!
Any thoughts?
