On our new 425, I’m having trouble (typical for me having troubles😆) with the Float feature. I had found it on the old 2001 unit by accident and found it to be easy to use. (Only glitch was sometimes the joystick would “fall out” of its Float position, but I’m sure that 20-plus years had a lot...

Some funny stuff there! 😆 How about the “joy stick” control—the tall one? I’m used to the shorter one on the old unit, and this new one being much taller (to me) seems a bit more action is needed…I’m thinking I’d like to make it shorter…or maybe like other things, it just takes some getting used...

Yes sir that hopefully will help. 😊

Very possible! 😊 I had the wife run it for a bit, scooping up dirt on an uphill grade, then move it across the hillside and dump on downhill grade. She too was a bit nervous with the pedals—especially reversing. I’ve found that reversing uphill is worse too, mainly in rough ground. (rough as...

Well…it WAS. Been into a lot of dirt in last few days…😁

Yes sir, I always have both feet on ( but I have size 13 feet😜) and I tried my best to go slow…even throttled down. Maybe the bar tread tires contributes—our old one had turf tread and was a little smoother rolling. I’m gonna try and get the wife to run it some today and see how she does. 😁

I got it out yesterday and used it for a little grading work and grab a couple of tree trunks. The grapple bucket worked great for the trees. So I’m working mostly sideways on a slight uphill grade. I was trying to dig out some on upper side and moved to lower side, just above a bank. This new...

No but I kinda thought that something along those lines would be good.

Honestly, don’t know just yet. Depends on what wife decides. (It was hers long before I came into her life 😉)

Uh…I’d like to live a little longer 😆(wife wouldn’t see it my way at all LOL)

And a few more: In the bucket is the auger head and the 9” auger is pictured leaning against some other stuff.

April 10 we took delivery of a new PT425. We drove down to Power Trac and Terry even run it up on the trailer for me. (As most of you know personally, he is a great fellow, and is a walking encyclopedia for Power Trac!😆) He took a lot of time with us on a couple of trips down there and was with...

I guess I should close out this epic. 😆 The old 2001 unit was retired, and on April 10 we took delivery of a new PT425 at the front doors of Power Trac. And Terry was with us the whole way. (What a great guy, and so knowledgeable!) For now the old girl sits forlornly, a shadow of her former...

I’ll start another thread and post what I have so far. 😊
