I don't know why I didn't think of this years ago......just used some bungee cord to strap on a piece of plywood on the pallet forks then strapped on a gas leaf blower.....the pallet forks will raise and lower as well as tilt and side to side can be accomplished by turning the steering...

Mother Nature has a nasty sense of humor.......this is her april fools joke that I woke up to this morning.....Jack

one of the reasons I got the pt was its versatility and ease of switching attachments........after the snow stopped from this recent storm I went to plow the driveway which is 1/4 mile long through the woods......I put the plow on and got about half way down the drive when I came upon some...

thanks to barry's inspiration I added a soft cab to my pt.......wish I had done this years ago......since I have a tall boy my size parameters were a little different as well as the engine would be sitting inside the cab so I needed the flexibility to adjust the sides to make sure I would...

just wanted to give a warning to everyone.......I had placed my PT brush cutter for sale on the tractorbynet classified section and was contacted by a scammer........fortunately I recognized it for what it was an killed the deal before losing anything. Here's what to watch out for: 1) they...

Is it just my imagination or do our machines use more gas in the hot weather.......ran out of gas again today while out working in the heat.......thats the second time this week......I've never run out before.......maybe I'm having to much fun on it and don't realize how long I'm out there...

Just listed my brush cutter and stump cutter in the classifieds if anyone is interested......Jack

So I'm doing my 8 hour grease.........on my pt I have 22 grease points.........except when I'm done I've only counted 20 and I've run out of tractor......so I go back to see where I missed two and come across this........sheared two of the zerks right off.......I can't even explain how I could...

I'm nearing my 10 year anniversary on my PT purchase and I've been thinking of selling a couple of attachments so I went over to the PT site to check the current prices.......and that of course led me to add up the cost of everything I originally bought to see what it would cost me...

Was just out in the garage getting the PT ready for the upcoming snow storm.......chains on the tires....lube......rubber mat on the plow......and I kept getting a whiff of something burning. I had the garage door open so I thought it was coming from outside somewhere......kept checking and...

With the snow and ice finally melted away I have been able to get into the woods to do a little spring cleaning of trees that have fallen or are about to fall. Had one that had the potential of hitting the house so I needed to deal with it before the big spring storms did it for me. I carefully...

Well my winter fun continues........was out plowing during the latest 19" snow blast when I lost all power to the wheels. I was down at the bottom of the drive clearing out on the road when everything just went....no warning...no sounds......just suddenly no resistance on the treadle and I...

Just being without the PT for one storm made me realize how much I depend on it and what a critical piece of equipment it is for me to have. I know many are getting it a lot worse than I have and I usually enjoy the winters....watching the snow fall....romping around in it with the dogs......a...

Hi all.......had to do some heavy duty plowing today with deep heavy snow and ice and with all the back and forth and turning the bolts on one wheel came loose which of course I didn't notice until it was to late. Several bolts stripped out and in the process looks like they damaged the threads...

We've had a hellacious winter here this year....not an enormous amount of snow but an incredible amount of sleet and ice. After taking a header last weekend on our new "skating rink" which had previouisly been known as our driveway, I have decided I need a different attachment to deal with this...

All the opossum stories reminded me of this....happened a couple of weeks ago. I let our Pyrenees out for his nightly duty in the fenced portion of our property. Fence is 7 feet high because he was able to jump the 5 1/2 foot one when we first got him. So I don't wory about him getting out and...

I'm looking to get a 22 revolver for plinking and target, just a fun gun. I'm thinking single action but double would be fine also. My daughter would be shooting it most of the time so nothing big or heavy. What would you suggest preferably under $400? Thanks Jack

I've had an annoying little problem for the last few months that had alluded me until today. Since this past winter when starting up, the wheel motors wouldn't engage unless I let the machine warm up for a few minutes. I figured it was just the cold even though it is kept in a semi-heated...

Happy Birthday MR, glad you had nice celebration. I on the other hand woke up early and found heavy snow falling. Weather people said it would be ending at noon so I waited to plow. Of course these were the same weather people who said 2" - 4" maximum when I went to bed. Found 12"+. Now...

Finally had a chance to use the stump grinder and came away pretty pleased. The thing is a beast. Once mounted it reminds me of one of those battling robots. Went thru the stumps I had with no problems. I also didn't experience the chip throw back that has been mentioned. This could be because...

Does anybody here have any experience with the tree shear attachment for the 425 series? I'm curious how well it works and what tree sizes it can handle in actual practice. I know it's pricey but I've got 14 acres of woods to thin out so it could be well worth it. Thanks Jack

... lighten up on the torque to the oil filter!!! Finally reached my first oil change. Oil came out relatively easily after I rigged a plastic funnel from the drain plug thru the hole which was slightly off center. However I can not get the filter off. Tried hands (yeah, right!), socket filter...

Well we got our first good snowfall last night of 12 inches so I got to try out the PT for snow removal. My previous machine was a small craftsman tractor and this snowfall would have required 2 plowings at the 6 inch marks. That would have meant a 5 am wakeup call. The old machine also took...

Parking \"break\" So far the break in period of the new machine has been relatively harmless. Mostly a few hose connections that needed tightening. Biggest problem has been with the parking brake. Don't find a need to use it much but I did when digging a drainage swale by our driveway...

2425 and attachments delivered. Of course it's been raining almost nonstop ever since but I have been able to accomplish some small projects. Machine is everything I had anticapated and more. Grapple bucket is quickly becoming my attachment of choice. Don't feel any of the concerns of...

Well in a week or so I will be joining this merry band of power trac owners. I sent my check in and delivery should be sometime the week of the 10th. I ordered a 2425 with bunch of toys, er tools, to go with it. I selected the 2425 over the 425 and 1430 not because of use but because of the...
