I am looking for a quick attach converter for an old Ford 2000 with a Ford series 703 front end loader. I do not weld and don't know anyone nearby to do it for me. Does anyone know of a QA plate that would 'drop in' to existing pin holes without requiring cutting/welding?

I am looking for plans for making a PT425 quick attach plate. I seem to remember one here some years ago but I just can't find it and "Search" did not help much.

I have a 425 with a 48 inch finish mower. The treads in one of the spindles have stripped. I would like to get a new spindle unit but don't know what brand spindle Power Trac uses. I doubt that it is their own design. Does anyone else know? Also where can I get some of the little blade...

I am looking for an extra set of 12 inch wheels for my PT 425. The old wheels are 12 x 8.50 and I am using the Carlisle 23 x 10.50 x 12 'Super Lug" 4 ply tires. I want a sets of six ply or better because I get too many flats from branches, etc. in the brush and woods. The wheels on the John...

Are the quick attach plates on the PT425 and the PT1430 the same size? I have a 425 and would like a really big light material bucket for handling wood chips. The 425 LMT heaped full doesn't come anywhere near the 425's lift capacity.

The 48" rotor tiller for my PT425 has blown the hydraulic motor seal. I took it to the local tractor repair shop but they said they need to know the motor manufacturer/model number so they can order a kit or new seal and bearing. Does anyone know what motor is on the tiller. I bought it in...

I have not been on here for a long time but I need some suggestions. What engine would be a suitable replacement for my piece of Robin crap? Any opinions on the Kohlers amd B&S models? Do most small twin engines in this size range have common base mounting dimensions or would it be necessary...

I personally see lots of little flaws in my PT-425. I would like to make some suggestions to PT for improvements. They are free to use any of my ideas. 1. My pintle hitch cracked loose recently. The top weld to part of the rear grillwork broke the grill are tore out at the corner. I do not haul...

Does anyone make an HST tractor with at least 50 PTO h.p. and AT LEAST least 17 g.p.m. auxiliary hydraulic systems? I don't need a tractor for plowing or heavy pulling. I need a 'tool carrier' to operate different attachments

What is the slowest speed in a Kubota M9000. I am still looking for the right tractor and the M9000 looks attractive but one thing it must do is travel very slowly as I want to use a chain trencher on it. The trencher manufacturer recommendations are: "You would need at least 17gpm to operate...

I have 82 acres slightly hilly land but nowhere I can't go in a 1970 GMC 3/4 ton with auto transmission if I am patient. 75 acres are pasture the rest buildings, ponds, landscaping and a small 1.5 acre orchard. I need a tractor primarily for pasture maintenance (brushhogging, seeding...

The PT on steroids? New Holland Bidirectional Tractors

I have alrady worn out my 14" auger bit, at least the teeth and the point, in about 75 hours of use. I started searching the internet for some replacement carbide teeth and points that would be more durable. It was then that I noticed that the PT augers seem to be a non-standard dimension. They...

Does anyone know of a brush mower than can be front mounted via QA? Of, course it would need to be hydraulic powered. Because of cervical arthritis I have problems with rear attached implements as I had difficulty observing them except via rear view mirror.

Does anyone have an over 50 hp tractor with a CVT transmission? What is your experience with the CVT transmission? The smallest farm tractors I have seen advertised with CVT are 100 hp which is a little too big for me. I would probably be looking at something in the 50-70 hp class. Does anyone...

What are the advantages of flail versus rotary mowers and brush cutters?

Does anyone know anything about Montana dump trailers? Their ads say they will dump left side. right side, tail. They don't make it clear whether that means they make three versions or whether each trailer can dump each way and what is necessary to convert them from one mode to another.

I have to replace the switch on my PT425. When I removed the access plate I saw that there was a loose wire (blue) and one empty lug on the switch, the one on the side. I can not figure out if the wire has vibrated loose or was left disconnected from the factory. It APPEARS to have never been...

Is anyone else having trouble opening the Power-Trac website. I can not get a connection this morning. My computer seems to be functioning fine for everything aand everyone else.

Question about the trenchers, both chain and wheel. Do they have to be used in reverse or can they be used going forward? Because of my neck arthritis I have a lot of problem working in reverse. The main reason I bought a PT was because I could keep most of the work in front of me. I would...

I think I want more alternator/battery capacityfor use with sprayers, seeders, winches, etc. Is it possible to replace the little 20 ampere alternator with something larger; also, a larger battery? Battery would not seem a problem as there seems to be room.

IIRC someone once posted a drawing, with dimensions, for the attachment plate on the 425. Darned if I can find it now. Does anyone remember who, when, where it was posted? Anything that might help me find it.

I have decided I need a winch for pulling branches, tree tops, old posts/fencing , tires out of my ponds. Does anyone use a winch on their 425? What kind/size? Where and how did you attach it.

Has anyone had a chance to try one of the HST (hydrostatic drive) versions yet? If so, which one and what did you think?

Where do most people put a winch on the PT425? I would like one mounted on the front so I could use the bucket or forks as a 'spade' to get a little more pull. The PT425 is so light that in many cases it would slide before what I was trying to move.

I recently nearly had an accident while using my auger. The digging was tough because of rocks and small roots so I opened the throttle for more power and speed on the auger. Suddenly it jammed and the torque from the auger rolled the tractor FAR to the right. Both left wheels were at least...

What are your recommendations, and why, for after market bucket teeth for the small 425 bucket?

What aftermarket oil filters can be substituted for the Power Trac filter? It is a little tight getting a good grip on the PT filter but if I could find another brand filter with fluted ends it would be possible to use use one of the cup type filter wrenches with a socket wrench.

Use for \'potato digger\' Until recently I hadn't found a good use for the potato digger. I can't plow straight enough in reverse to make a respectable furrow that I would not be embarassed to let anyone see. I tried reversing the blade so I could see where I was going. It helped but it doesn't...

Am I the only one who has incessant jams with the rotor tiller? I am no longer having the spontaneous jams I had when it was new but it is still difficult to dig more than 5-10 minutes without having to stop and clear the rotor. Many of the jams are caused by small rocks no larger that an egg...

Has anyone used a rear pull trailer or wagon on their 425? I would like something I could use to move bark, mulch, tools, firewood, etc around the place. I would also like one with a bed large enough to hold sstandard 4x8 foot sheets of plywood, sheetrock, etc. lying down flat. If ithe trailer...

48\" mower too narrow? I think I may have outsmarted myself when I bought the 48 inch mower for my 425. At the time I thought it would be easier to get through gates and in other tight places. After being here three months I have discovered that all the wooden fences and gateposts will need to...

I am curious how much gas and oil consumption other PT425 owners are experiencing. How many hours to tank of gas? How many hours to a quart of oil?

It\'s a boy! (Good) but he has a screw loose. (Bad) Got my PT425 late Friday afternoon. My wife insisted on being the first to initiate it so she took a couple of passes around the front yard and parked it as it was getting dark. Next day I mowed the yard. It took 3.6 hours and another 20...

Does anyone have any experience with the hydraulic power shears? How do they work? What size PT?

Well, I did it. Mailed the check Saturday. My order: PT425 small bucket 48" finish mower 60" rake Auger with 14" and 30" augers plow forks I chose the small bucket because I want to keep things narrow enough to fit in tight places and through narrow gates. I checked the 4 in One but the...

How deep will the PT-425 power rake cut? I notice that some other brands of power rakes will cut up to 5 inches deep. That is only one inch less than most rotor tillers. Is is feasible to use the power rake as a light tiller for preparing flower beds and vegetable gardens thereby avoiding the...

Is PT still using the Kohler engine on the 425 or have they switched to the Robin? I saw one recently that had a Robin.

Rainbow invited my wife and I to his new homesite yesterday to inspect his PT-425. He is a very gracious and helpful host. A nice young man. My wife and I much appreciated his advice and comments. The wife and I pretty much decided to get a 425 as soon as we get moved, only seven more weeks...

I have a question for those with a 4-in-one bucket. Suppose one attached a spacer that would keep the bucket halves from closing all the way, a 1/2 inch to 1 inch gap. If one picked up a mixed bucket of rock and dirt and jostled it a bit would the dirt fall through the gap onto the ground. I...

Does anyone know if it is possible to mount a three point hitch on the back of a PT425? I thought the 'Delta' style 3-point mount would made them as easy to hook up as the regular PT mount and we would not need to do so many tasks (rototilling, etc.) 'backwards'. There are a lot of 3-point...

When using the PT with a tiller does not the front mounted tiller cause a problem in that one is always driving over the just tilled soil, compacting it and leaving ruts? It also seems it would prevent use of integral panels that would automatically form a raised seed bed as one progresses, as...

I don't have a tractor yet as I curently live in California on a 1 acre lot. In March we will be leaving California and our citrus and avocado trees and moving to southern Missouri. We have purchased 82 acres. Most is in leased out pasture but about 10 acres is in residential use, house ...

Does anyone know of a screening bucket compatible with the Power Trac? So far, the only screening bucket I have found in my price range is for the Grizzly skid loader. Does anyone know if the implement attachment on any of the various PT's are compatible with a Grizzly skid loader?
