Power Trac Users

[MuncyBob]

Come up to the Little League World Series this summer in Williamsport and drive a 422 if you are still deciding by then...it took me a long time(maybe I'm a slow reader) to make my purchase but I have no regrets...2 years and pushing 200 hours, still saying it's the best tool I've purchased and wonder why it took me so long to but it! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Thank you all for the responses I've received to my initial post. They've all been very helpful.

In regard to ernemat's question of my intended uses for the machine, it primarily will be for mowing approximately 2 acres, scraping, and snow removal. My house has only been recently built, so I will have a number of landscaping challenges in the next couple of years. Also, my folks will soon be building about a stone's throw from me. The machine would also be used at their place (also about 2 acres).

I've taken the time to read many of the posts on this forum and have received a nice video from Power Trac. Based on this combination of info, I've become more convinced that the Power Trac would be a better machine for my intended applications. My dad and I plan on making an appointment to visit Tazewell in the near future.

Again, thanks to all who post to this forum. Your level of friendliness and the tone of your posts are unmatched.

I visited Tazewell last month and was very impressed with the company and the products. My wife and I both tested both the 425 and 1430 and came away knowing what we wanted. We purchased a 1430, brush cutter, PHD, 4 in 1 bucket, forks and a lift boom. Perhaps more later when the budget allows. I hope we will receive our PT in early March so now the wait begins.

I hope you and your dad have a great trip but don't bring your check book unless you already know that you want to buy because the temptation is too great if you just want to look.

Great advice on the check book. I'd already planned on leaving the truck and utility trailer at the house so I couldn't haul anything back. The only problem I see is Power Trac's video said they accept credit cards!!! The only solution is discipline on my part, which could be a problem.

Thanks for the advice and info on your trip. Hope you'll be happy with your purchase.

James,
Have you seen the videos of our PT425 in action on my website? They are a few years old, but give a decent idea of some of the things the tractor can do.

If you haven't seen them, click on the little animated PT icon in my signature and that will take you to the website.

I have definitely taken a look at your website. As a matter of fact, I've looked at it several times. You've truly done a great job and provide loads of valuable information.

Also, I spoke with Scott at Power Trac today to get details on a visit to their facility. During the conversation, I informed him that there was a fellow on Tractorbynet with a better website for Power Trac than their own!! He found that quite amusing, said he had heard quite alot about your site, and assured me you weren't on their payroll /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif. At a minimum, they should probably put you on their Christmas card list.

All joking aside, your website is great and has definitely been a major factor in my "leaning" toward a Power Trac rather than a subcompact Kubota or New Holland.

Thanks,
James
