- Power Trac PT-422
I am leery about the Subaru engines. I haven't seen many posts from later model PT-425 users. Maybe that is a good thing because they aren't having problems with their machines. I wish there were late model users on here to gauge how satisfied the owners are with their machines.
I bought my 99 PT-422 in Feb of 2013. It wasn't running and had many problems. The Subaru EH65 engined had been rebuilt in 2012. I have done a lot of work to it. It does run good, but sometimes it has its moments like cold starting, sudden loss of power and backfiring that have me wondering is this the best engine for this tractor.
I don't want to purchase a new 425 and have issues with cold starting and such. Do any of you know if the Subaru's have gotten better in the last 15 years?
I wish there were engine options for the PT-425. A small diesel would be nice. Would any of you have any reservations about buying a new 425 after having owned a PT with a Subaru in it.
Thanks
Frank
