    This is a 4 foot bush hog modification that I did to adapt it to my 2425

    I’m going to put a set of wheels on the front and the back of it that like casters that swivel I haven’t gotten them yet, but I just float it on the big brush and stuff right now. I’m going through the woods cut and I just let it float about 3 inches above the ground and let it cut

    This is a 4 foot bush hog modification that I did to adapt it to my 2425

    That pump that I have it turns the PTO at 400 RPMs, but the shaft is a one and a half to one so my blades are spinning at 600 RPMs it works better on it than it did on my yanmar tractor It cuts underbrush really well ,briars and thickets. You just raise it up over the top of them set the blade...

    Our new PT425. It’s new day…😊

    Another thing you can do is check tire pressures, make sure they’re not over inflated because if they are, it will give you a much different ride. I run 12-17 lbs on mine.
