So I have a Ventrac 4231 Turbo Diesel. I am aware that this motor is not held in high regard with the general public. I have almost 200 hours on it so far, with no problems yet. I have two basic complaints though. 1. It overheats too easily. When the temperature is over 80 degF, radiator...

Here is a video I took of my McCulloch Super Pro 125 fitted with a 101B race motor. It will cut faster than any stock saw on the market today. 123cc and probably 12 HP or so. Fitted with a 33" roller nose bar and .404 ful comp chisel chain. Log is about 20". Enjoy!! chainsaw :: 003-8.mp4...

Hey everyone, I just changed out the seat on my PT1460 with a suspension seat. I bought it at Tractor Supply for $100, less than the price of the PT armrests, lol. Anyways, the seat only has about 70 hours on it, so if anyone is interested, let me know. I am willing to let it go reasonably...

Hopefully we can get this forum rolling. I have a 4231w/ dualies and with the 84" contour mower, and I think that this combination can''t be beat at any price when it comes to mowing. So, cmon and post what you got here!!!!!!

I hadn't used the snow plow for my PT yet. I had meant to bolt some pipe to the bottom of my blade, so as to plow the gravel driveway easier, but I never got around to it. So anyways I tried it out with just the rubber blade installed. I must say that I was very impressed with how well this...

What weight Motor oil should go in the Deutz? From the online manual it looks like 20W-20, but I never heard of that before. Are you all running synthetic? I know it takes a lot, so I would probably use conventional. I searched around the forum but I couldn't find any posts about it.

Just curious as to its performance. Maybe someone on here has one. Please post your observations and reviews.

So there have been highs in the low 20's all week, and I left my PT 1460 outside since Saturday. Yesterday I decided I better get this thing back in the heated garage. To start it I used a MAPP gas torch and heated up the intake manifold for a couple minutes. I was then able to start it no...

I have not really started beating on the mower yet, and it is already letting me down. When a blade hits something that it can't go through, it swings back and hits the mounting bolt 90 degrees behind. After a few hits, the mounting bolt breaks. I know there have been threads about this, but...

Here are a few pictures of our spoils this morning. In about 4 hours we cut and bucked 2-3 cords, and hauled it 1/2 mile out of the woods using the Power Trac PT 1460. My Dolmar 7900 ran flawlessly, and my buddy did all the hauling. I ran a 24" Bar with 3/8 full chisel chain, and it was...

We had 6-7 inches of rain in two days, ending Friday morning. I went out to cut some wood yesterday with my 1460. It did fine in the flat areas, but struggled getting up some of the muddy hills. One hill it just started digging to China. I guess it is not quite as invincible as I thought...

I heat my house primarily with firewood, so I burn 8-10 cords a year, and I cut wood for others as well. Anyways, I am in the market for a log splitter, as my back just can't take the maul, and I don't have as much time. So anyways, I am just wondering why PT doesn't make a log splitter...

Just mowing the lawn with my Ventrac. I have used the PT, but the Ventrac just does a superior job. 31 HP gas, dual wheels, and a 84" flex wing deck that is the best deck I have ever mowed with. At the edge of the plateau there are 30 degree slopes that need to be mowed. The last picture is...

So I went to hook up my mini hoe, when I went to connect the hydraulics, one of the fittings was bent. I must have pinched it. I looked up quick connect fittings and I couldn't figure out what type they are. The two most popular are ISO A and ISO B. I searched the forum, but couldn't find...

Well I am coming up on doing my first oil change, and just wondering where the best place to go for Deutz filters and stuff. I looked on the Deutz website, and nobody is particularly close, so it looks like the best option is mail order. I don't know if there are equivalent filters in a Fram...

As most of you know, I have a new PT 1460 with a 64 HP Deutz Diesel. I have researched many topics on overheating in this forum. I also have seen that there have been a few cases of engine bay fires. As always, heat is the enemy. So, I have a few questions. 1. How hot can the Deutz get...

There is one for sale on Ebay right now. Kind of interesting. I guess this was the predecessor to the PT 425.

Well I got it home Sunday night, and easily got it unloaded. I wasn't able to pick up all the attachments I bought, as I was overweight on both the trailer and the bed of my truck. Needless to say it was a long ride back through the mountains of Western Virginia, carrying 2000 pounds over my...

I saw somewhere where someone used a skid steer minihoe on a PT. Just wondering if anyone has used other attachments. Are there any skid steer attachment companies that can make them with a PT mount plate? Please tell me your experiences. Some of the stuff that they make looks a little nicer...

Good trip!!! Beautiful part of the country to say the least. Showroom was a lot nicer than I expected. They were really helpful and took plenty of time to show me everything. We went out and I was able to beat up several attachments. My initial thoughts were the 1460, and that is still what...

Who makes the biggest Hydro out there? I am looking possibly for a hydro that can run my 15' flex wing mower, which requires about 60 pto HP. I would also want an enclosed cab with AC. Does anybody make such an animal?

Hello, I have a decent size farm, and several cutting implements. For mowing the grass I have a Deere zero turn 60" deck, and a 4WD Wide area mower. Neither one can handle the hills. I am thinking of getting a Power Trac. I measured the angles, and the steepest slopes are about 27 degrees...
