Unable to find any threads on what is a good oil burning stove for home heating? I live in area that does not have natural gas. Currently I am using ToyoStove Lazer 73 which has been working great until a week ago. If I have to replace it I need to know what is available to research. PJ

My steering on my 425 was getting progressively bad. Called Terry and he said my steering cylinders were leaking. Corrective action was to order seal kits plus new pistons and that would correct the problem. I asked if they did this work and he said yes so I shipped to Tazewell. They turned...

One of our local garden supply growers went out of business and put on the market over 100 greenhouses for sale. You had the choice of 48 feet up to 200 feet long and they would assist you in breaking down. We ended up with a 48-foot by 30-foot unit, which included fans, watering system, tables...

I need some advice on mulching or the method to get this accomplished. Previously, I used an electric mulching/chipping machine that jams up far to often and does not have the power to accomplish the following tasks. The fiber in large leaves and other garden cuttings jams up the machine...

Just a note to update everyone on what has been going on with my 425. Last September I replaced the engine with a new one of like type and model. This January I sent to the factory the tram pump and steering pump. The tram Pump was leaking oil around the seals so as it heated up I would have...

We have talked many times about what attachments are used most and are worth the money. But the end result is when the attachment is needed it is the best for that time. I just finished core aerating the lawn with the PT plug aerator and what a great job it does. Used only in the late fall or...

I have the 60-inch snow blade from PT. I tested this blade last week and have a few questions from others that have experience. Going straight works great and does a very good job using the float position. When I angle the blade, the outside edge will be lower and dig into the ground. Can this...

Is there such a thing as a bucket level device? I continue to lean out of my seat to see if my bucket is level as I return to my digging area. I usually can be within a few degrees of level just by sighting but would like something that could attach to the bucket to tell me if it were perfectly...

For the past 2 years I have been reading the posts on the PowerTrac thread. Enlightenment is hardly the correct word as my passion for a PT has gone from interest to must have. Finally, I am getting close to making the purchase of my new 425. For some months now, I have been thinking over my...

Hans, Charlie, Others, I was looking at the PowerTrac site last night and saw that they have a sale through January 31 on 425 machines. Also there appears to be a few 422 machines available on sale also. From your talking with the PT people do see this sale as reducing the inventory in...
