I am not able to find that used 1460 on their website? I see the used 1445 with 16 hrs, but not the 1460.

Still there search PT1460 on the page. It's buried in the middle.

My smart phone would not bring it up when I went to the PT website for some reason. I got on my computer and it came up. PT usually doesn't sell used stuff do they? I wonder if this might be an employees machine?

I think they offer a space for customers to sell their old machines. Maybe they take trades?

I think it says something on their website about not taking trade ins.

If that machine is being sold by PT definately have them do the timing belt and go through all the other stuff. Have the hydraulic hoses all been redone and any leaking cylindars redone?
Will they provide a "nused" warrentee if it has been factory reconditioned?
Are u close to PT? I would consider that as a major factor when buying a used machine with 4-5k hours for servicing strange gremlins.
When I bought mine it only had 900 hours on it, so I was fairly comfortable with the engine. My big concern was with the stump grinder that came with it. I just think that the stump grinder attachment will beat the heck out of a PT. Luckily all the attachements that came with mine were in pretty good shape, so I went for it.

The Deutz although very noisy (a little less with improved 2011 model), is good for 10,000 hours with normal maintenance. The timing belt being considered normal maintenance. One thing I read, and this is not a reason to ignore it, but even when the timing belt breaks and the valves hit the pistons, the engine is designed to survive it and after replacing many valve train components, would be good as before. You would just be short a lot more cash then if you just replaced the belt.
