Trade Shows

Yeah, bad points.
Like how I would have to remove the muffler to change the battery. How inconvenient the location of the hydraulic filter is. Things like that. Every machine has a few quirks, flaws and design issues. With that being said, I think the PT design is outstanding and the machine is perfect for my needs. Knowing everything I know about this machine now, and seeing the design changes that have occurred since I purchased, I would definately purchase again and highly recommend them to anyone that asks. But I will also point out the few flaws that I see so as people can choose for themselves. Going into my 4th winter of ownership, I still get that stupid grin every time I fire it up and drive out of the shed to do something in the yard. That says a lot.

Agree on the "bad points"(maybe even how loud it is??).....but then again it seems most "vehicles" built today have as much as possible crammed into tight quarters...no wonder the labor charge at garages far and away exceeds the parts! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I have visited PT at trade shows and also at the plant in Tazewell. Nothing can replace a visit to the plant. I went there thinking of buying one size and bought another. PT has 12 models of tractors and over 200 attachments, no way can they bring all this to a show. Pt also gives a 2% discount to visit the plant, this will help ofset the travel cost.
I understand PT is now in their new building and the showroom will be ready soon.

I visited the Power Trac website and requested the video and literature. If nothing else works out, my sister lives in Virginia which makes a trip out there to see her and the equipment in person justifiable.

When I was talking to Scott at PT, I told him I'd ordered the video online. He said that part of their system was "down" and took my info and subsequently sent the video. I don't know if they have fixed it yet, but if not you'll never receive the info and video. Call Scott at PT.

About the video: not the greatest. I think the info at MossRoad's site is better, and the videos show more of what can be done. PowerTrac could/should take a little more video, edit what they have, and put it all on a DVD. Less cost, less to mail, easier to navigate (you could 'jump' to the sections you wanted to see instead of enduring the entire tape).
