Current production was on the 1400 line. They produce at a given time 5 to 10 units within a series. All tractors are hand made from bottom to top.

Terry (Maintenance Manager) going over the different areas of the 425 with me. This included engine, hydraulics, servicing and operational instruction.
Scott did all the training on tractor operation, attachments and safety.

Scott going over the 425 with me. Scott had a complete 425 trailer package brought out to the customer testing area prior to my arrival. This had almost all of the attachments on hand for me to test out as I wished.

Here I am testing the 4 n 1 bucket (5 cu). I had originally decided on the 5cu bucket but when I tested the 4 n 1 bucket the switch was made.

Here I am testing the minihoe. Had no preconceived ideas on what this attachment would be like. After testing out digging a long trench I was convinced I had to own one.

This is only one of a number of rock and dirt piles they have set up for customers to play testing machines and attachments. Here I am using the 4 n 1 bucket.

Here is a shot of Scott demonstrating the 24 inch auger. Very impressive item but at this time I elected to wait until next spring to order the post hole auger system.

Here is Scott demonstrating the trencher. I was originally going to go with the trencher and wanted to see how well it worked. This is a very impressive attachment

The final shot of my wife Sandi and the 48 inch mower. We tested this mower deck in very wet heavy grass. The handling and cut was very impressive
Overall our impression of the PowerTrac Company and its employees was very impressive. Everyone was very helpful in answering our questions and guiding us through our requests.
We spent one whole day with their people (half day in testing area and half day in tours, training and paperwork) and went away very pleased.

Tazewell is not an easy place to get to but well worth it.
