We had about 5 inches of really wet heavy stuff yesterday. It handled it with ease. A little too easy. I got off in the grass and relocated some sod /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif. What's the nearest big town near you in MI?

Re: Power Trac PT425 Website access
MossRoad:
I am still in the curious situation that I can't access your website with IE5.5, on Windows 2000, but from the same machine I connect immediately through AOL 7. I am on a shared t1 line, TCP/IP. (Whatever those letters mean)
I assume the problem is something to do with a browser setting, but I haven't a clue what to do to fix it.
Any suggestions? Anyone else have the problem?

Re: Power Trac PT425 Website access
So you can access it through AOL, but not IE5.5 on the same machine?
I'm not familiar with AOL, but there might be some proxy settings in IE5.5 that need to be set up to match the one's in AOL. In IE5.5 look under tools/internet options/connections tab and push the LAN settings button. There are some check boxes and under the advanced tab there are more settings. Try to find the same type of setting under AOL, and set IE5.5 the same.
Hope this helps?

Re: Power Trac PT425 Website access
I couldn't find anything in AOL, which has IE embedded. IE5.5 is set to automatic detection of settings. AOL has a similar set of screens, but not the connestions or LAN screen.
I'll just have to connect through AOL when you post something new.
Incidentally, I sent a note to Kristie Asbury at Power Trac to take a look at your site. I also sent a picture of what I did to the back of my new 1845. A lot of companies would send back an immediate warranty cancellation, but somehow I doubt Power Trac will. Their warranty is already a lot more restrictive than we as buyers would like, but from what I hear they don't pay attention to the fine print either, and just solidly stand behind the machines.

Re: Power Trac PT425 Hydraulic PTO uses
They seem pretty good so far. Although they don't answer their e-mail, they do answer their phones, which is a twist from the way companies now do business(and I like that).
I asked them about using the hydraulic PTO for some projects like a log splitter or a backhoe. They said as long as I use open center valves, I will be OK. Apparently, you will damage the hydraulics if you turn on the PTO without a return path. I was thinking I should make up a short jumper hose to put between the in and out on the PTO when it is not in use to prevent any damage to the PTO in case I accidently bump the switch with out anything connected. What do you think about that?
