I recently started using my new B2601. The treadle pedal is very hard to press forward or reverse. Is there some adjustment to make this easier? My previous tractor was a Power Trac 425 that had a hair trigger treadle. This is going to be difficult to get used to. Patrick

My troubles started in Dec 2017 in what I thought was a treadle valve issue: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/power-trac/387716-pt-425-tredle-problem-i.html?highlight=#post4907088. I had a couple of harrowing experiences where upon starting the tractor it would bolt forward rapidly without...

Yeh, I came to the same conclusion. However, PT should have noticed the leak when they removed it and not shipped it back to me in that condition... Anyway, I am going to try the idea of using a bulkhead fitting before trying another two alternatives (more on those later). I sent the pic with...

The crack in in the bottom nipple that holds the elbow fitting. The crack gets bigger as the fitting is screwed-in. Note the remnants of an o-ring.

I recently sent my pt-425 back to Power-Trac for a main pump replacement. When it was returned, it ran fine so I filled the gas tank and planned to use it on the weekend. When I went to start it I felt fuel on the cuttoff switch. Eventually, found that the tank bottom port that holds the elbow...

My PT -425's tredle dose not spring back quite like it used to when released. The tractor seems to want to continue moving forward when tredle is released. Also, reverse is very slow. The tractor still still articulates and lifts as usual. I removed the side plates and cleaned debris from the...

See Tribute. There are photos of the founder's family. Also, an interesting photo of a PT 422 besides a Low Trac. Tribute

Page 18 of my 2010 PT425 parts manual is attached below. The nut may be item 7: 1 1/4-12 half locknut. Hope this helps.

Tried to start my PT425 today. It seamed like battery was low, so tried to jump start. Noticed fluid leaking from air filter cover. :eek: Immediately removed battery cables, etc just as the gas fumes became strong smelling. My retired mechanic neighbor and I drained almost a gallon of gas-oil...

Ventrac announced the 4500 model with 31/32 HP gas/propane engine models. No diesels will be offered after 2012. They claim the engine manufacturers will not be offering the engines currently use by Ventrac. The attached video refers to the fact that new EPA reqs are driving this move...

I am building extension hoses for some of my attachments for my PT-425. I will explain more in another thread. The stock quick disconnects are Stucci (Italian) -- have not been able to find on-line. Does anyone have a compatibility chart listing other brand models that can connect to the...

Folks, Take a look at the video ion this thread: Face to face with a Coyote - TractorByNet.com Shows a guy taking a video of a coyote attacking him. We have them in the area -- it sure would be nice to have a cab on the PT if one decides to visit.

The center of the quake was in between Charlottsvile and Richmond. CNN says buildings shook in VA, DC, and NY and Ohio. We did not feel anything in the Winchester area. I understand that BobRip lives in the area where the center of the quake occurred. Bob, I hope you made it through this okay...

I know nothing about this vendor, but this is the lowest price I've seen. Nice price if you are thinking about a replacement or just buy it as a spare. :) Robin Subaru EH722-DS 25 HP

What is the optimum tire pressure for the standard PT-425 turf tires? What would be the recommended tire pressure if the tires were 75% filled with a 50/50 % water - anti-freeze mix?

Folks, on frames 03 and 43 you can clearly see that the brush cutter hydraulic lines are not connected. The mower is not operating in this demo. :laughing: ‪ThePowerTrac's Channel‬‏ - YouTube

Here is my PT mowing on short slopes. This is not brush, but you can see how the PT handles the slope without slipping etc. I keep the speed down to increase torque. Too fast and it will stall at the top. ‪docclumber's Channel‬‏ - YouTube ‪docclumber's Channel‬‏ - YouTube ‪docclumber's...

If you have the auger drives for the PT-425: T3219 - Post Hole Digger Head (Pivot) T3301 - Planter Drill Head (Fixed), Do you know the torque output. I asked PT. They just said the that the torque in both units is sufficient to drive all the augers listed in the T8 price list. The answer is...

This seems rather odd. Kristie Asbury, kristie@power-trac.com has listed a slightly used 1850 i KS on the PT Used PTs page. One might speculate that PT is trying to handle some kind of dispute where they had to accept a return of equipment...

Trying to decide if my PT could handle a wobble auger and a drive unit made by Danuser.com. The auger requires a considerable downforce to be effective The MS 615 mini skid steer drive unit can operate on the 8 GPM and 2500 PSI to produce 1299 ft lbs of torque. These units are only abot $300...

While removing a rear tire I notice a third line on a rear wheel motor. See photo below. I traced it to the identical position on the opposite rear wheel motor. The CAD drawing does not show the a third line. Anyone know its function?

Folks, I am considering using the Sabre Samurai Saw to trim trees, and along ponds and ditches: I think this will work in the manner described below. However, I am still concerned about the max operating pressure of 500psi. Will restricting the throttle also keep the PSI within range? I...

At 49 hours its time to change the hyd oil filter. Below are two instructions from my PT-425 manual which are not very useful. I cannot find the port needed to bleed any air that may get into the system when changing the filter. I also can't seem to find the Tow valve and related ports. Any...

Folks, Need a recommendation for a fire extinguisher for my PT-425. Would also like suggestions as to where to attach to the tractor. While we are on the subject I will probably need one for the shop and the kitchen (currently have a small old one kept in the sink cabinet).

I used my new 48' brush cutter for the first tine yesterday. With tractor running at full throttle, I switch-on the PTO switch to hear a loud bang as the hyd motor engaged. It run smoothly and quietly after starting. Is the bang normal? The bang happens every time it starts. I shutdown to...

FEB 2010 Blizzard ! This was what it looked like here last year on Feb 6th ! This situation convinced me that we needed a tractor and a large blower. ..... well, I don't mind saying that I am very happy we've only had about 8" of snow here so far this year !!! I knew that once we bought the...

Folks, Can someone tell me the correct size and type of adapters needed? I just had a frustrating afternoon trying to connect the hydraulics for the new Power Sweeper to my new PT425. I know these quick connectors get easier with use, but the issue is that I cannot get enough leverage to pop...

Folks, On the You Tube docclumber channel, I loaded 3 videos of the new PT425 being unloaded by the delivery person. I think there is an example of PT pucker in the second video. Patrick YouTube - docclumber's Channel YouTube - docclumber's Channel YouTube - docclumber's Channel

My new PT 425 arrived with 16 hours on the meter. Is that normal?? Did they sell me a demo unit???? Update! I feel like a dummy. I could not see the #@&**## decimal point without shining a flashlight at the meter. Please disregard. Is there a way to cancel this thread?

After six months of study I decided on a PT 424 plus numerous attachments. It should arrive next week. I thought long and hard about which attachments were necessary. I was surprised at the total cost, but I justified multiple uses through-out the year for each attachment. We have 42 acres...

I will be taking the trek to Tazewell in two weeks for assimilation and training. Resistance is futile! Can anyone describe the training sessions at Powertrac? Is it done in a classroom setting or "in the shop" sort of informal thing. Has any one tried to video record these sessions. I know...

The Power Trac web site is down today (or at least my browser cannot access it). Does anyone know why?

Can a Buffalo Hydraulic Turbine debris blower be adapted to a the PT-425 or PT 1430 quick attaches? The specs are here: http://www.buffaloturbine.com/downloads/New%20pdfs/bt_hydraulic_flyer.pdf I think the hydraulics may be incompatible.

Is heating oil really the same as Diesel except for red dye and the tax? The old part of my house has an oil fired furnace for heat. The large tank is in the crawl space with fill and vent piping emerging from the rear of the house. It would be nice to install a pump mechanism that I could use...

I am considering buying a used PT 425. There are 2 listed in the Used section of the PT web site. Can anyone provide some insight as to whether these are reasonably priced. Also, would appreciate any clues as to what I would be getting myself into by buying a used PT. Thanks, Patrick

I was surprised by several threads mentioning insurance. Is insurance really available for Power Tracs?

Hey Folks, new member here! In the near future I plan to buy either a Power Trac 425 or a Ventrac 4100 tractor. My question today is related to snow blowing on the Power Trac 425 with the 48 in snow blower attachment. Is it powerful enough to handle my situation described below? We live on a...
