I have been looking at purchasing a compact tractor and have been impressed with the Yanmar 324/424 and the Kioti CK2510. Both do not seem to have the SSQT FEL bucket and the Yanmar has a really small bucket at 5.65 cu.ft. vs the Kioti at 7.8 cu.ft. I relate this in mind to a wheelbarrow at 6...

I'm having an oil blow-by issue with the Subaru EH-72. For sometime now I've been getting engine oil collecting on top of the carburetor inside the air filter. The engine generally runs fine except the oil sprays out of the carburetor and collects on the intake manifold and everywhere else. I...

I apologize, it has been a long time since I posted anything. In 2005 I bought a PT 425 after reviewing the many great posts here on the Tractorbynet, Power Trac forum. Overall I like the machine and its capabilities and diversity. It has some a few weak points though. The main one in my...

Well...I have about 6 hours on the new PT 425 and really like the machine alot. But...after using the Power Trac for about 2 hours cutting and mulching leaves on Sunday I noticed oil coming out of the rear end of the machine. After further inspection I see that engine oil is leaking out of the...

First I want to thank everyone on this forum. All of your posts were instrumental in my decision to buy a Power Trac. For several months I read many, many posts both on the PT and Kubota forum. My wife thought I was going crazy. Anyway all is good now with the green machine in the barn...
