    PT 425 PTO Specs

    Anyone Tried This With PT425 . . . ?

    I need to disk fire breaks for prescribed prairie grass burns on fairly small fields. These areas have been disked with a large tractor and disk within the last year or two so the soil should not be too packed. I also want to maintain some food plots. I need to have power way to raise and...

    PT 425 Rake Help

    Last fall I used the PT 425 60" rake to de-thatch my yard and scratch the surface at the same time for over seeding. The effort was successful but I could not use the rake in free float as the rake doesn't have enough weight to pull it down to the ground. Using draft control the rake followed...

    PT425 Brown Grass

    I worked with my PT425 and mini-hoe to remove some woody shrubs and a deteriorated stump yesterday. The tractor and mini-hoe did a fine job but today I noticed that the grass that was underneath the motor area appeared to have turned brown. Nothing is leaking so I'm suspecting heat caused this...

    Got my new PT425 dirty

    I got my PT425 to MO last Friday. I have five hours on it now and I am very impressed with the machine's ability. My first use was at the farm cleaning up a fence line about 1/4 mile long. On the third pass the machine just stopped and would not move. Motor was running and everything else was...

    Forum Newbie Questions

    Thanks to this forum I have learned about Power Trac tractors. Last Friday I visited Power Trac at Tazewell, VA and Scott Gentry did a very good job of acquainting me with the PT425. He was able to answer all my questions, provided a demo and even let me drive it a bit, and arranged for me to...
