Picked up my new 425 on Tuesday, September 2nd. Started my first project helping my friend landscape his home that afternoon. 4 days later we finished. We moved 35 ton of rock and 65 yards of dirt. Project would not have been possible if we did not have the 425. Used only two attachments for the entire project. Forks and the 4 n 1 bucket. Both performed to perfection, much better than my body.

PT425 the workhorse that allowed project to be completed and manpower to remain sane.
