How did I do?

[3238dpw]

Just bought a used 425 for $2500. Has 1600 hrs. Light material bucket, 4 foot mower, Roto tiller and an Aeravator from First Products . Terry at Power Trac said it is a 1999 model. It has been kept outside its whole life, but everything seems to work so far. It just needs some TLC. Sorry haven't figured out how to post pics yet.

Sounds like a good buy, the price is right for sure. Now cleaner up, change the oil and do a maintenance check for any leaks, look at everything real close hydraulic hose’s ect, then tuck her away in a garage or shed and you may get another 1,500 hours out of her. These are tough little machines. Some pictures would be cool..

Thanks to eveyone for the warm welcome. KentT I agree 110% about the pics. I will try to attach one and see what happens. Pajoube I am from central New Jersey. It was bought off of a lawn service and they paint a portion of all of their equipment blue. So that is why the ugly blue color is there (if I am successful at posting a pic)

Looks like a pretty danged good deal to me... the implements alone would cost more new than you paid for the entire package. So, you essentially got a free tractor! Soap, water and paint is cheap.

BTW, I also bought my PT 425 used a couple years ago. It was sold new in December 2000 so it's about the same age as yours...
