We currently have Verizon dsl internet that is all that is available to us right now other than Hughnes net. Our speed is usually between 1 -2 mps down and .68 up. We have very poor cell phone service also even using we boost it is difficult to use a cell phone and have good reception. I...

Has anyone in Pennsylvania gotten Starlink yet, if so what part? Just wondering if any cells are opened yet.

Starlink train sighted over S W PA over the weekend. Picture was on wtae tv.

I think we are getting a little of the original post question of what chainsaw is best for an older guy

For my 1845 I put on single wheels instead of the duals that it originally had. I ended up buying the wheels from Power Trac to get the right offset and the wheels were cheaper than I could find anywhere else, even if the offset was not the same elsewhere.

Thanks for the link. I will contact the Surplus center for some information about them. It seems that the 3 ah batteries have had a lot of problems as I am not the only person that has had them go bad

Just did a speed test down .15, up .43, ping 263, tipical Verizon speed for us. Come on Starlink, hurry up

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally got an email from Starlink, not what I was hoping for. Went from mid to late 2021 to mid 2022.

My 2 sons both have Fiskar splitting axes and in one swing most wood is split if not knotty. Both are big boys over 200 lbs

Had similar problem with my 1845 when I first got it many years ago.

I just downloaded the app on Friday, maybe they have changed it some. When I check for obstructions it has you move the cell phone around till it reaches 100% then you wait till it processes the data and then it tells you you might want to find a different location. It has a red bar above the...

When you checked for obstructions with the Starlink app what did you get for % of obstructions? When I check I get anywhere from 1.32 % to 2.86 % depending on where I test from. Is that higher than what you got, I have several trees showing up in gray area. Thanks

I have a question on using the app to check for obstructions. What do the % numbers that show on the screen mean?

My date is still mid to late 2021 after I sign in and it gives you the option to shop for different mounts but it will not let you order yet. Hope that means getting close

I just took the mowers off the tractors and am not putting them back on, if it needs cut the deer can have it.

You have given me new hope for this year:)

I'm in south west Pa and mine says the same when I sign in

To me they are very good and their prices for labor are very reasonable. Terry is a great guy and very good at pinpointing your problems over the phone.

I just checked Starlink site for my address and it went from mid to late 2021 to early to mid 2022

Been a long time since I have been to Coney Island, they sure have good hot dogs

Here is my 1845 front hooks, I use them for pulling also. They were on it when I purchased it.

Did you get the storm and flooding and if so did dishy survive?

Hope you did not get the rain flooding they were showing on tv

I have an older 1845 and I like the size of it for most acres I mow but I also have a 422 which I use around the house and in smaller areas. My lawn about 5 acres is mostly hillside which is basically a field that we just keep mowed like a lawn it does a decent job but probably not as good as...

There are several other companies making 120 volt battery powered mowers, yard force and swift. Also greenforce makes 80 volt tools, ego 56 volt , and dewalt 60 volt tools that I am aware of probably more.

Everyone must be busy as no activity lately

They also made the 40 volt tools and you can still buy them but the 120 volt batteries and tools cannot be found. I have contacted different sellers of the 40 volt and they cannot give me any information about the 120 volt products

How can you tell which cells are defective? They are Samsung cells I forget what number

Has anyone on here bought and used any of Redback 120 volt outdoor equipment? Examples chain saw , hedge trimmer, leaf blower, string trimmer, lawn mower. I bought several of the tools before pandemic and really like them but apparently they went out of business. 2 of the batteries for the...

Just wondering if they send a batch of emails out on just one day of the week or do they send them out everyday. For example every Monday they send all the emails for the week?

You folks that have gotten Dishy, is there any special day of the week they send out notifications that your dish is being shipped or do they do it every day?

What part of PA do you live in and when did you get your starlink. I'm in west central PA and waiting. Have not seen many from PA that have gotten starlink.

Boy, I'm old school and I'm lost on what you guys are talking about, I can turn computer on . Anyplace I can learn what you are talking about?

Have you tested the speed yet and do you have any problems with obstructions? Congrats, still waiting on mine

We are not in Bolivar but about 5 miles out and no fiber available. Just did a speed test of the internet ping 215, down .11 and up .37 , worst than yesterday.

Still waiting and it cannot come soon enough. Today did a speed test on our VERIZON internet down .50, up .48 and at times nothing would work. It seems the internet is getting worse for us and we have no options available other than Hughes net

From what I have heard and read they only use Fed Ex

Paid my $99 on Feb 8 still saying mid to late 2021. Sure hope it comes soon our Verizon internet is poor less than 2 mps down

congrats, luck you I'm still waiting and hoping my order will come soon. Did they give you a time frame?

Di you get the notice your order is ready?

oh to be 40 again :):):)

I also replaced the original lights with LED'S lot better

Remember I have an 1845 which had 23 x 8.5 x 12 wheels and tires on it. The 26 x 12 x 12 wheels and tires I got were off a Kubota tractor , the bolt pattern matched but the off set would not allow you to get the tire on completely without hitting the tractor frame no matter which way you...

I recently converted my 1845 with dual wheels to single . I looked for 12 inch rims and purchased several sets only to find out the off set would not work. I ended up getting 4 rims from power trac, the price was not any more or even less than I could get them elsewhere for new rims. I put...

Several years ago I talked to Terry about a sickle bar mower and he said they used to make them for the Power Trac, he didn't say which model.Maybe you could get information about one from Power Trac I would also like one.

Nice looking machine ,hope it works out for u

Is no one getting dishy lately, have not seen any new posts about receiving their dishy and how it is performing.

A lot quieter than a gas one They still make some noise some brands more than others.. Find someone with one and run it a while. I have severa and I very seldom us my gas saw unless it is a big tree.

Mine is really slow, can go get a cup of coffee and come back and it is still loading, come on dishy

When I changed my engine on my 422 , I talked to Terry and he said they would do it and the price didn't seem that bad(can not remember what it was)I ended up swapping Robin to Robin which I had purchased several years before used.

I have found that cutting tall grass the grass tends to wrap around the shafts of the blade especially the center and right ones, so check every so often.

I just joined

Where do you find the information?

Doesn't sound like too much fun

It does not use much oil but the oil level is hard for me to see, but my grandson has no trouble reading it, maybe just my vision is not what it used to be. The batteries for all Ryobi 40 volt are the same and can be used with just about any Ryobi tool. I have three 4 ah batteries, 1 1.5 ah...

I have a Ryobi 40 volt chain saw, it does good on smaller trees under 8 inches( it is several years old) I have been thinking about getting a new one with 16 inch bar as I already have 6 batteries and I have other 40 volt tools. Overall it does ok

I have a Ryobi 40 volt and it does good on things up to about 3/4 inch diameter, a real beast compared to my 18 volt Black and Decker

I had one for my 422 but I sold it. It did a good job but my ground is stony and it kept getting stones jammed between the tines and the housing. It was not that hard to get them out usually, just shut off pto put down pressure on tiller and back up. We just have so many stone the right...

I don't know of any way other than calling Power Trac and ask Terry

Put a new o ring on and it seems to have stopped the leak, we used it for about 3 hours mowing with no problems.

Darn, I was hoping a good sign

Starlink sighted over west central Pa. last night, does that mean we are getting close?

Could not do that, not enough room between filter and pump.

Only want it to help with fuel filter change.

Put new o ring on and the leak seems to be stopped.. Has anyone put a fuel shut off valve on the fuel line on their diesel, if so what kind of valve? Thanks

I put new fuel line on my 1845 and cleaned the fuel supply pump filter, not too bad but now the filter is leaking some and I cannot get it to stop not a bad leak. The o ring looks good and I tightened the screw up as tight as I could get it. Should I just replace the o ring even though it...

The main reason Power Trac went with the gas is that Deutz discontinued making the 30 hp engine they were using and they could not find another one with the same foot print.

I also have the Ryobi 40 volt blower, weed eater chainsaw and several attachments to the weed eater, pole saw and hedge trimmer. I like them all , they are not the most powerful but they do most of what I want done. I also have the 40 volt push mower.

I'm like you MR any slope over 20 makes me a little uneasy especially with the mower on my 422 . On my 1845 30 to 35 is not too bad, the tilting seat makes a world of difference.

SPACE X LAUNCH JUST FLEW OVER OUR REGION YESTERDAY WITH 60 MORE SATELLITES ON BOARD. PICTURES ON WTAE.COM OF IT FLYING OVER WESTERN PA. PICTURES SENT IN BY SEVERAL LOCAL PEOPLE HOPE TO SEE DISHY COMING SOON

Where do all these ticks come from, when I was a kid (many years ago ) we did not have them around here now they are everywhere.

Full leather is the way I like to go, they seem to last good and the moltifloral rose bushes are hard on them

KEEP HOPING, ME TOO

I signed up on Feb 8 and put my deposit down waiting for the full payment to be taken and shipping notice.

I wish they would post more information on their website as to when they are opening new cells and what time frame for ones that have put down their deposit as when to expect Starlink being available, Not just the mid to late 2021.

I'm to get up to 3 but most of the time it is 1.5 or less, hurry up dishy I can not wait. Is anyone getting their ship notices lately?

why all the duplicate posts?

why all the duplicate posts?

How do you tell what you have and have not read now?

Welcome, Where are you located?

How far below the metal edge of the snow blade do you have the rubber lip? I am going to use 3/4 inch thick rubber mat I got at tractor supply. I am going to mount it between the wear strip and the blade.

Have any of you that have slope mowers converted from dual wheels to single wheels? If so what was your reason for doing it? And also what tire tread did you get? I am thinking of converting my 1845 dual wheels to single because if you run duals in snow you end up with snow build up between...

Tires and wheels for Kubota BX series, listed on Tractorbynet items for sale.

How often have you tightened the center nut on your power trac? It has been a while since I have been able to tighten mine. I have tried different times and have not been able to tighten it any no matter how hard I pull on the wrench. I notice when running it it seems like it needs tightened .

If you have an 18 inch bar on your chain saw and change to a 16 inch bar how will that affect your saw or its performance? I realize it will effect the balance some but other than that what difference could I expect. Most of my cutting with it 16 inches is more than enough length and I have...

Has anyone looked at the Japanese mini truck utv's that seem to be getting popular in place of the regular utv's. They are a little larger than a regular utv and some are street legal and the price is comparable to a utv.

Can I put regular tires on the front of my tractor when I have radials on the rear ? It is four wheel drive and I don't want to damage the transmission or gear cases. Thanks

Has anyone owned or used a Turf Teq or Sidewinder??

I was just wondering if anyone uses a power brush on their tractor to remove snow from a gravel driveway? If so how does it do , removes most of snow and how much of the gravel.

I have ag tires on my tractor and they are filled with calcium, my question is can I take the calcium out myself or to I need to get a tire service company to do it? If I can do it how is the best way? Thanks for any help. Tire size 16.9 - 30

Does anyone have the Power Trac snow blade with the rubber lip on it.? If so several questions how does it work on a gravel driveway? Also do you have the wheel kit for it and finally how does it wear and how far does it stick down below the steel cutting edge? Thanks

I am looking for a Cushman Trackster does anyone own one or know of any for sale. Thanks

Does anyone have a max 2 6 x 6 or any or the other makes Argo , Attrex if so what do you think of them and any problems to be wary of?

I have an older John Deere 550 dozer (year 1979) and it starts right up but after a few minutes of running it starts shooting water/antifreeze out the overflow vent where the cap is. I have filled it with water to the top of the radiator core and check it after running and it is down so I...

Last week I decided to try a set of clamp on pallet forks, I ordered them from Titan and they were here in a few days. I have only tried them briefly on my pt 422 and they worked ok. I used them to lift and move several ash logs about 8' long and 10" in diameter. I got them so I could use...

Saturday I just passed 3,000 hours on my 422, no real major issues other than I replaced my Robin engine with a Robin engine I purchased used 8 years ago. Very pleased with the Power Trac performance and use over the past 20 years

Here are some pictures of my flail mower. I have had it for 3 plus years and probably have not used it over 10 hours total. It cuts ok but I like the convential mower . The person I got it from , it was his fathers who passed away who had purchased it and adapted it to his power trac 425.

I am looking for some new tractor tires rear 16.9 x 30 and possibly rims as the current rims are getting rusted pretty bad around the valve stems and some on other parts of the rims as they are filled with calcium. The rims are bolted onto the hub in 6 locations. I am located in Pa.

My son has an older Steiner 525 that he is having problems with right now it will start up and run till he engages the mower or goes to move it then it almost stalls out. We put a new fuel filter on it , still no difference. Seems to be a issue with tractor not getting enough fuel, any ideas...

Its out and what a mess 19 years of crud built up even though it was cleaned out often. Going to clean it out as best I can and then decide what I am going to do for a replacement

Yesterday we got about 10 inches of heavy wet snow, the pt 422 handled it without problems. Wish I had the wheel kit for the plow

I found some old pictures of my flail mower

I have a Polaris Ranger 500 and I was thinking about putting a set of tire chains on the rears. I have some real steep trails and driveway . If anyone uses chains what type is best and is there any problem with clearances.

Thanks for the input guys. I want to have the whole tractor gone over by power trac because my tub is a mess, wiring looks bad, hydraulic hoses need replaced, brakes or wheel motors leaking, plus several other things and I really do not want to try myself, old age is creeping up fast on me and...

My 1845 is not currently running and I tried pushing it with my other tractor, (from the front) and it kept jack knifing even if I lifter the front while pushing it. The tow valve was opened and the brake was released, no matter what we tried it would not go straight very far. Anyone have any...

Has anyone noticed that power trac has redesigned their web site, very nice I think

Does anyone have a Cushman trackster and if so do you have any problems that you should look for when buying one. They look like a fun machine to have. I know they were only made in the early seventies and they are hard to find.

I have a log splitter I run off my tractor and it runs fine at splitting the logs. Right now the hydraulic hoses are a little short for running off my other tractor , so I got 2 hoses to add on to the existing hoses with hydraulic quick attach fittings. The problem with the extended hoses is...

Has anyone used the power sweeper to remove light snow from a gravel driveway, I imagine it would remove the snow and also a lot of the gravel, of course in the spring you could use it to put the gravel back on it.

Carl what are you planning to do with the land after you get it all cleared? It looks like you will be busy for awhile . I am attaching pictures of my chain saw mount. I have basically the same on my pt 422, at times I have thought about making them larger. The ones I have work ok for my...

I need help trying to find information on a Parker hydraulic motor(parts listing) and specifications, pictures, etc. I could not find it on Parkers web site. The information on the motor is Parker , 00/4, MZG2AB113S1, Made in Italy. See picture attached. Found that it was last made...

I bought a used flail mower for my 422 and the hydraulic motor for it is leaking at the shaft. The rubber seal around the shaft is worn through in one place. It looks like the seal is held in by a snap ring. The question is can the seal be replaced by just taking the snap ring off and...

I have a question for anyone that has a power trac thumb on their mini hoe. Where is the ideal place to fasten it , how far from the bucket? I just had a local company make me one similar to the power trac one and I am not sure what distance from the bucket would be the best place to fasten it...

It warmed up to about 40 today so I decided to try the splitter out, I had some hickory and ash logs that I had cut last fall and this spring. I hooked the splitter to the pt hydraulics and set the throttle about 1/3 open and started splitting. All the logs split real easy and the pt engine...

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I purchased a used log splitter and I am trying to figure out what was used for the hydraulic fluid , it is a light yellow color and has an odor not like motor oil. The guy I got it off couldn't remember what he used just that he got it at Tractor Supply. The reason I would like to know is...

Would it be possible or advisable to use the hydraulics on a power trac to run a log splitter. I am looking at a log splitter that the owner uses a Simplicity 12 hp tractor to run the log splitter by bolting the pump onto a pto shaft. I was thinking I could use the pto circuit to run the...

Yesterday I hit the 2,000 hours on my 422 which I purchased new 14 1/2 years ago with no major problems. Put a new battery in it this year and also 2 new tires, old ones had lots of tread left but they were starting to crack and lose air , so rather than put tubes in I just purchased new tires...

I wanted a bucket for my 1845 and was going to purchase one from Power Trac but like you said the cost of shipping was high, so I looked around on ebay and craigs list and local farm equipment dealers and I found this 5 foot bucket that fit my needs. I managed to get it for $250from a dealer in...

I finally decided today to take the front wheels of my 1845 and clean the mud out. I drove it previously up and down my driveway as fast as it would go and a lot of the mud between the tires flew off, then I tried prying out some more with a piece of 3/8 by 2 inch steel , still looked like a...

Does anyone that has either the 1845 or 1865 with dual wheels have problems with mud getting between the 2 wheels and packing in real hard.? If so is there any way to get it unpacked without taking the outside wheel off. ?

Does anyone have a Steiner 525 with diesel engine. I would like to know some information about it, like can dual wheels be put on it and with just the single wheels what is the maximum slope that can be safely mowed. Also what size mower can it handle and is there any sites on the internet...

Does anyone know the size of the mower belt for the 72 inch mower deck for the 1845, mine broke yesterday and as near as I can tell it is about 138 inches long and about 11/16 inches wide. I tried calling power trac but they were closed till Monday. Cannot find any belts that long in stock...

Has anyone checked out the 1845 on ebay?

I just changed the hydraulic filter on my 1845 and was in the process of bleeding the system. The bleed port is on the top with a tee, I connected the bleed hose to one side of the tee and cranked the engine and hydraulic fluid came out at first then just a little then none. I have tried several...

How many of you that have the PT snow blade have the wheel kit for it? And how well does it work?

I recently had an adapter made for my 1845 (which is the old 3 pin attachment), so that I could use several of my attachments from my 422. I want to be able to use the 422 bucket on the 1845 on certain occasions and also the snow blade which I had made wider. I plan to take the dual wheels off...

Is the caster wheel kit for the snow blade worth the money?? Does anyone who has it think it works better than the blade without the wheels?

I am curious if anyone has had to replace the tilt seat or switch on their slope mower? My seat bracket is worn where it swivels and it seems to go all over the place when riding on slopes. The one mercury switch is like burnt colored and the other is clear. The hydraulic cylinder probably...

The front wheel on my 5660 Agco Allis four wheel drive is showing signs of a hairline crack around the 6 bolt holes. See Attached pictures. Can this be fixed any way or will I need a new hub? A new hub is $550. plus shipping , I have tried to find a used one with no luck .

I am considering buying tire chains and am not sure what I should buy. I have ag tires with about 75 % tread. I would like to buy the ladder type as I run some on paved roads, but I have read that they do not do much good as they fall between the cletes. Any advice would be appreciated.

Does anyone have any information on where I might find a nut off 422 wheel motor other than power trac? It is a 3/4 castle nut 28 thread per inch. I have tried NAPA , hydraulic repair shops, fastenal, surplus center without any luck. Can get it from power trac but $50. minimum order. Thanks...

Does anyone have the fertilizer spreader? I have a question on how the gate is attached to the spreader. Is it just attached on the one side with a 1/2 inch bolt and is there any washers or spacers? Thanks for any help.

Has anyone ever replaced the ignition coils on their Robin engine? Mine started back firing the other day, Terry thought replacing the spark plugs would fix the problem, no such luck,checked and reset the valves still back fires some , the spark to the left cylinder is not steady, so we think...

On the 1845 is there any heat shield below the muffler? On my 1845 1996 model with Deutz engine it looks like there was a bracket beside the starter that I wonder if it could have held a shield of some sort. If I run the tractor and the temp. gets hot it will not start for several hours unless...

I just purchased a 1845 slope mower (1996 model with 3 point attachment instead of the quick attach) . My questions for others with an 1845 1. What air pressure do you use in the 8 tires? Mine are 6 ply r-1 tread with the recommended max pressure of 50 lbs. currently 40 lbs in them. 2. After...

There is an older model power trac 418 for sale on ebay. It has the 3 point hitch and b & s 18 hp motor.

Does anyone know of a good source for an engine for a 1976 John Deere model 4030???

Has anyone had any problem with the older pt's that have a cable to operate the treadle to the hydroback? Friday I went to use mine and when you leave up on the forward or reverse pedal it does not return to the center position the way it should. I called PT and talked to Terry he feels that...

For you pt owners that have a mini hoe is it worth the price for using occasionally and how sturdy is it. At a weight of 93 lbs. it seems that it would not be real sturdy if that is the weight of the bucket, hydraulic cylinder, quick attach plate and the metal arm. Would you buy it again after...

Has anyone ever tried to drill their own water well with anything like the deeprock hydra drill ? If so how do they work in drilling stone?

Today we got several inches of snow so I thought I would try out my new snow plow. I did not get the wheel kit and I put my own rubber lip on it with 3/4" mine belting. It works fine if you do not angle the plow but as soon as you angle the plow one side of the blade is higher than the other...

Does anyone know a good source for either new or used pallet forks?

Last week my wife and I went down to South Boston Virginia to visit our son and do some work there. On our way home we took the long senic route home through Tazewell, Virginia the home of Power Trac and their new showroom. They had all the machines and attachments together in one room much...

Has anyone put a tooth bar on their power trac and if so how does it work compared to the bucket without the tooth bar. I am thinking of getting one from markham welding, it is not much more money than the bolt on teeth from power trac and it can be removed easily.

Yesterday and last night we got about 6 to 8 inches of light powder snow. I got my 422 out this morning the temperature was about 12 degrees (tractor is kept in a unheated garage) . It started right up on the second try, left it warm up for a few minutes and off I went. Our driveway is about...

I was just wondering what throttle setting most people use when running their gas engine power tracs. I usually run mine (422) at half to three quarter except when mowing thick high grass or using the tiller , then it is three quarter to full. When using the light material bucket it is...

Nice looking tractor. Looks a lot like my agco-allis 5660 but with a cab and different color. I have an alo 310 loader on mine also.

The engine uses regular 15-40 motor oil for diesels. The transmission and the hydraulics use regular hytran fluid like most other tractors.

I have an Agco Allis 5660 with air cooled and I love it . It might be a little more noisy than a liquid cooled but you don't have to worry about changing anti freeze in winter . It starts right up without a heater even at 0 degrees.

Several weeks ago while mowing with my 422 it started making a noise on different occasions, (sounds like left front wheel motor) mostly going along a steep grade of 20 degrees with the left side downhill. At first I thought it was the parking brake, I pushed the brake lever down and still it...

Has anyone converted an old international 2 point quick hitch attachment to a 3 point hitch?

Has anyone noticed or entered the photo contest Power Trac has on their web site?? Power trac gear is to be given away each month to the winners.

Does anyone have any advice in what you should look for in a gas lease. In our area they are drilling quite a few new gas wells and I have had several companies trying to lease my land, most of the terms of the contract are nearly the same. I would appreciate any advice as many of the terms in...

I KEEP READING THE FORMS ON THE PT 422 AND SOME OF THE PROBLEMS BEING ENCOUNTERED. I HAVE HAD MY 422 WITH ROBIN ENGINE FOR 3 1/2 YEARS NOW AND KNOCK ON WOOD THE ONLY THINGS I HAVE DONE OTHER THAN NORMAL MAINTENANCE IS REPLACE ONE QUICK ATTACH COUPLING, (HARD TO RELEASE) AND REPLACED SPARK...

Has anyone had any experience using cen-pe-co lubricants or oils. I talked to the company representatives at ag progress days last year and their products sounded good. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience using them? It seems that their primary customers are heavy duty trucks ...

How steep a slope can a dozer work on safely? I have seen dozers operated on slopes you can hardly walk up. I realize there are a lot of variables to consider, types of machines, operator skills,etc. Any input would be appreciated.

I was talking to Don down at power trac's factory this morning and he is still trying to sell his pt 1845 with about 6 attachments, it is 4 years old with about 400 hours on it and he said it is in good condition. So anyone looking for a used larger pt , it might be worth looking into.

I talked to power trac today, they are in the process of designing a new offset boom type mower for the 400 series for mowing banks and ditches etc., they did not know when it might be available or specifics about it.

Does anyone have any experience using the tiller on their power trac? I have problems trying to till in reverse, cannot keep a straight line.

Has anyone had a problem with gas leaking at the fill opening? I have had a problem with this since I purchased my 422 two years ago. If i put over 2 gallons of gas in the tank when mowing along my rough hillsides gas sloches out around the fill cap. I have put new gasket compound around the...
