I feel your pain neighbor. I normally plow with my Polaris Ranger, but just too much snow! I've been using tractor and front end loader all day to dig out. But you're right, roads around here won't be open for a couple more days.

Well howdy neighbor, where are you located? We are in shannondale off of gate - 1 ..

Thanks Moss, the old PT did a great job. The downside, I now have my squeaking steering back from all of the snow and moisture. :laughing:

Spray down all the ball joints on the steering rams and re-lube the pivot points and it'll most likely go away. I was convinced my steering valve was going bad, but a call to Power Trac, a talk with Terry, a can of spray lube and all was well. :thumbsup:

They are made by a mining company In Taswell Va to work in the mines. Versatile Tractors,Compact Tractors,Trailer Packages,Landscaping,Utility Vehicle Rentals,Mowers-Power Trac

They have been selling to the general public for a long time now. Power Trac has just about any attachment you can think of for this equipment. Mine is a low hour 96 model with out the quick attach but other than that very similar. One tough little beast..

Oh ok, Thanks!

Wow! Just curious on these power tracs. Is there a reason for their design? What kind of jobs are they geared to do or specialize in?

Anything but pulling stumps and plowing fields. They have no low range. Other than that, a really good platform for a multitude of tools. Mowers, brush cutters, post holes diggers, buckets, grapples, snow plows, forklifts, etc... and the best part is the quick attach system, that lets you change non-powered implements in 15 seconds without getting off the tractor. Powered implements, like grapples, trenchers, mowers, blowers, brooms, etc... require hydraulic power, so you have to get off the seat and connect/disconnect the hoses. I've had mine for 15 years. :thumbsup:

Barry, I am over in Nothern VA, a little outside of Manassas to be exact. I put a few pics of how the PT425 did on my cleanup here. We didn't get as much as you but I got a good chance to try things out, I only used the Plow, didn't use any of the buckets I have for it, as I found you can push piles up to about 5' pretty easy.
I went down and did a neighbors house behind me that has a pretty good downhill to it, and found push as far as you can until it starts getting about 7-10" deep under the machine as you lift it, and then backup and do it again. Only took about three swipes to do 28 and up inches, so for the most part I am pretty Happy.
I have AG tires on it, and used to do the same place with my John Deere with Chains, and have to say it did as good as it did, didn't get stuck, and was a lot faster, and could move the machine around better.
I think the next thing they are calling for us on Tuesday will Be ice or a mix.

Heard something about Thursday also.. They are on the edge of will it be cold enough and the track of the snow. Hope it doesn't transpire until some of this mess has melted.. Used to Live in Manassas was a long time ago. Good job with the PT not much they can't do. I have a light duty craftsman plow I may adapt for mine this spring, but for now a large snow blower and the PT are getting it done..
