linpat · Jan 18, 2006

just went on line and checked it out. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif what is the cost?

Go to the powertrac website. They have a full price list that allows you to calculate any configuration of machine and accessories you want. Only thing missing is the shipping estimate.

Do they still have the [2%?] traing discount?

i.e. you come in person to tour the show room and take the training and they give you a coupon/certificate for the discount [six month expiration I think].

Last I checked (August) they did. I haven't looked recently but I recall it was documented on the website somewhere.

Click on the little animated tractor in my signature. That is a link to my Power Trac webpage that has some pictures and videos of a 2001 model PT425 in action. Enjoy! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

how does it compare to a skid loader or a tractor?

does it have good lift and breakout force?

Spiffy · Jan 19, 2006

It's tough to get more HP per footprint than a skidsteer, but they like to eat lawns too.

More lift & breakout per HP, per $$$, per footprint?

PTs are kinda in between CUTs and skid steers. Softer on turf than the skid steers and a bit more versatile than the CUTs. As mentioned in the previous post, if FEL lift is your main concern then the skid steers will win every time. I believe skid steers are more expensive generally than equiavlent horsepower PTs or CUTs. PTs and equivalent HP CUTs have roughly the same FEL lift capacity but the CUTs will lift higher which is usually an issue only if you are loading a truck. Best things about the PTs (from a CUT owner) are that they are articulated, stable, almost all work is done facing forwards and they have lots of matched quick change implements at fair prices. Check out MossRoad's web site.

The best thing to do, when first starting to consider a Power-Trac is browse this forum's archives. Use the search engine to look for discussions on specific things in this forum (that is, make sure you specify only searching the Power Trac forum).

Here is an excellent thread to get you started, it comes complete with many pictures showing you what you can do:
