Bent Rim 1430

[SELKIRK]

After using my mini hoe to tear down a brick planter box I noticed that the back rear wheel was wobbling. Thinking that the wheel motor was loose I took the wheel off and checked. It all looked tight and ok, so I swapped wheels front to back. Found the problem, bent rim.

This is a new 1430 (20hours) could there be a defect in the rim to cause this failure. The work load was medium on level ground and I did not hit anything or put undue stress on the machine.

I will call PT on monday to see if falls under warranty issue or not.

If not is there any way to fix this rim?
Any one else having problems with the rims.

Thanks

Terry

Welcome to the pt forum. I can't recall anyone having problems with a bent rim on an almost new power trac. I would talk to Terry as you mentioned.
