What to look for in a 1430 purchase

[jfischer]

Since I posted this, the guy I was going to buy it from, decided that he would not have been able to do his snow and other things without it, so I decided for what I need that a PT425 should meet my needs.

That is what I ended up buying new and am adding, or changing things to meet my needs, and soon hope to put a few hours on it and get some seat time in,
