I haven't run across in 2400 series but I did talk to a guy that has pruchased the backhoe piece for the 2425, mounted a quick attach plate and seat to it, and runs it on the front of his 425 using the auxillary connection. He said it performs well unless he is digging in hard ground. It tends to drag the tractor under these conditions. I am considering purchasing his machine.

I'd really like to see a picture of that...

Rest in Peace
David, I never even thought about asking any questions about used machines, but I was in Princeton, West Virginia, visiting my wife's family this week and since I was so close, I had to run over to Tazewell and visit the Power-Trac folks Monday. Very interesting place. If I should ever move back to the country, I think I'd sure want a 1430./w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

hey dude, you have become the used pt dealer of this forum. are you making any money yet? wish you allot of luck with your searching, testing and selecting the right machine.
one suggestion, caution, me that i have earned my pt test pilot wings quite a while back .. be careful not to overpower the 425 with a too large of a backhoe. that larger backhoe so far out is not exactly a very safe situation. i could not wait for pt to get their 425 backhoe out and bought a lackender baby boomer ll ... that thing combined with the hydraulic power has gotten me into some rather precarious situations. i understand now why pt made a backhoe specifically for the 400 and 1800 series, you do not want the backhoe to take over when ripping away at rocks and roots, the rear end will come up and scare the living daylights out of you.

you sell that RV and get a pt plus a power dumper and take your family on trips.

Neat place to visit, isn't it. I hope you test drove a few things while you were there.
When you move back to the country, be sure to get a big shed for the PT attachments. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif
