Save 4% during "OPEN HOUSE" at PT during the next two weeks. We have been thinking of replacing some of our older Power Tracs, I think we may order a new 1850, 2460, and 1430, also thinking about another 425 plus a few attachments. Can save over $3000.00 if I visit in the next and place my...

Talked to PT this weekend. The thing I seen from the air is a plant expansion and a 1000 ft flood wall around the back of the plant. Expansion is 33,000 sq ft production building to expand welding, fabrication, machine shop and assembly. It seems production is having a hard time keeping up with...

The hydraulic sump pumps we bought from PT were a life saver during the recent floods. With all power off a PT and sump pump can pump water out of basements and other low areas at great speeds. PT says 400GPM but we timed one with only a 10 ft lift runing about half throttle on a 1430 and got...

I was flying over Va the other day and passed over Tazewell, looks like PT is starting a large expansion on the east side of the main plant. The new office building looks complete, and how about that big flag pole with American flag. Good to see American manufactures expanding. EB

I understand PT will adjust prices the first of each month starting in May. This is due to steel prices going thru the roof. In the past I have noticed that PT has also lowered on some ocassions, so I expect we all will be paying for steel increases for some time to come. Shortages are also...

I saw a guy the other day buying gas with a "Ramrod" mini skid steer on a trailor with a PT trencher, PT ditch filler, and PT planter head with augers. I inquired as to why he bought PT attachments and welded on adapters to fit the Ramrod, he stated he could get all three and adapt them for less...

I understand Power Trac is planing on building some PT425 machines with Robin 25HP engines. My understanding PT tests show the Robin has more torque under load than the Kohler. The Robin 18HP in the PT180 seems to have a lot of torque. I also noticed PT was testing the Generac 30HP at the...

I think we all realize that no company makes all the attachments on all our wish lists and most of us have made or modified attachments for PT's, I thought it would be interesting to put together a wish list. Maybe Power Trac will look at designing and building some of them if they believe a...

Anyone own or tried the Power Trac "HUNT-VEE"? With a 25hp engine, hydrastatic drive, and steel frame for $8000, looks interesting. I looked at the older ATV at PT, nice but I like the engine in the center better. Should have better balance than with engine in rear. Thought it might be nice for...

Steel prices are jumping fast, some 30% since the first of the year. Talk is- it's heading higher by another 20 to 30%. Tractors and attachments use a lot of steel. Will tractor prices be next? What are you hearing?

As most of you know steel prices have jumped 25% to 30% since the first of the year with projections of another 20% to 25% coming soon. Power Tracs have a lot of steel in them. Are prices getting ready to jump in the next month or two? I think we will purchase now instead of waiting. What are...

I tried the ATV-6000 Diesel, but the Hunt Vee with the engine in the middle looks better balanced. Might be an "OLD MAN" four wheeler, keep me out of the water when crossing streams, be more stable, and allow me to safely carry the grand children. Any info is appreciated. EB
