Finally Bought a 1430

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!

!st New Year resolution is to be more active on this wonderful site.

Months ago I aske the question on the differences between a 4wd CUT and a PT. Many of you were very helpful and I visted Tazewell to purchase a 425. Scott told me of the 25 degree restriction and I came home to check my land and my son's. Much of both are 30 degrees or more so I decided to go with a used 1430. After months of not finding a 1430 I decided to bit the bullet and go with a new 1430.

I bought a 1430. LMB. mini hoe, box blade, tiller, forks, and potao digger. Here are a couple of shots of my 11 yr old grandson quickly learning to use the PT. The machine has seen much use and I will later post detials but for now suffice it to say the 1430 has done a great job.

OOPS! When I went to upload the pics from "Manage Attachments" I get a never ending message of "uploading files-please wait" for a 74.2 KB JPG file. I must being doing someting wrong. Any suggestions are welcome.

I think we don't hear enough from the 1430. So let's hear you escapades. I don't know why you can't upload. Try again.

Well I have no idea why the pics woked this time. The first pic is Ben getting a full load of mulch and the second of him removing an old stump. He did both task within 15 min of getting on the PT.

We later cleared an area for a shooting range. The PT does in min task I would not have even started.

I agree - see my post on 1845 hydraulic test.

Glad to see another red machine on the board.
