Did any of you see the used PT 425 diesel under the “Used” section on the Power Trac website? It looks like an amazing retrofit to me. It’s definitely not your common, sloppy, jury-rigged repair job.

There’s definitely something to be said about that test you ran on your intake. That’s very interesting, and I’ll keep that in mind. From what I’ve seen by pictures, the air filter on the 1430 is not as complex as for the 1445 and 1460. One of the reasons why I hate paying such a high price for...

Hi there, everyone. After looking on the Power Trac website I saw how they had a display at the VA farmshow many years ago ( probably 1980's), and I was just wondering if they advertise anymore. I'm under the impression that they don't advertise at all, but maybe I'm wrong. Thanks.

Years ago when I first bought my Power Trac a guy was telling me that they have a secret hidden warehouse in Tazewell that is full of new and never before seen Power Trac attachments and tractors, that are exclusive only to members of this underground club. Have you guys ever heard of this...

This video here shows a guy with a tree grapple attached to his 1430. I wanted to write to him to ask where he got the grapple, but I can’t figure out how to leave a comment for this video. Also, on the Power Trac website under used equipment there’s a tree grapple similar to this.

Not much discussion going on....

I’ve been trying to find wheels for the 1430 and have found them hard to come by. A tire place near me that specialises in AG tires has come up empty on finding some. None of their vendors carry ones with the same offset. It’s easy to find ones that stick to the outside 1 1/2” more. I called...

I was down at Tazewell on Friday and got to see the crew. When checking out the showroom I noticed that they updated some things. They have the new 425 with the Kholer engine and the shiny aluminium gas tank. So, I looked that over and noticed some little changes from the one I bought back in...

Has anyone had an issue with bending any of this with a chain binder when tightening the machine down on the trailer? I was curious. I’m not real sure about these wheel motors or the plate it is attached to, so I don’t tighten the pt down as much as other machines. Maybe someone out there has...

While I was taking a picture of the new hydraulic filter housing, I also took a couple of the tray of tools for the 1430. Everyone probably knows what the big wrench is for ( center pivot nut.) I bought it on Ebay and it supposedly came off of navy ship. It was cut down short for some special...

Hey everyone. I was wondering if some of you could help me with this issue I'm having with changing the hydraulic filter? I'm not able to purge all of the air out of the pump. I took the filter back off and cleaned around the place where that rubber seal fits up into that filter housing. I even...

Check out this video on YouTube. This man made several nice videos of this 425 he just bought, and it appears that the tank on his is aluminum or stainless. Power Trac PT 425 - YouTube

Does anyone know if PT is coming out with anything new and exciting? I can tell ya that they are going to offer at least one new thing I heard about.

I bought 6 hydraulic filters when I was down at Tazewell and noticed how they didn't have the neat little power trac logo anymore. These filters tell you the manufacturer, part number, etc. I priced these filters on the web and it looks like they go for 30 to 40 dollars. I'm going to continue...

Here is the Utility Grapple for the 1430. After driving around and picking up fallen limbs and smaller size trees, I would just like to fill everyone in on what I think of it. 1. This is a light/medium duty grapple that is made out of 3/8" plate steel, and is very handy for sliding in under...

Take a look at what I found in the archives. This is what the 2003 model PT-425 looked like. There are lots of pictures. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/power-trac/28518-new-425-engine-pictures.html

I was just to the Deutz shop, and they told me that the very reliable, rugged, and compact Deutz oil cooled engines could not comply with emissions anymore, so now this line of engines are being made water cooled. Not nearly as compact of a unit anymore. So, the 2011 series oil cooled engines...

I was just wondering if Power Trac was putting Kohler engines in the PT-180 and PT-422 now, or are they still going with Subaru? My Mom's John Deere 425 from the early 90's has been a good tractor, but it's had its heyday and now it's time Mom had a different lawn mower tractor. Thanks for your...

Did anyone notice on the PT website under PRICES that they have on the price sheet WHILE SUPPLIES LAST beside these machines. I am not sure if this means they are going to stop making them?

Here it is. A new Brush Cutter for the PT 1430. I see what everyone says about those bolt heads sticking out, which get heavy abuse from hitting things while cutting brush. I was hoping this unit would look like the one in this post...

When the Hydro oil gets warm the 1430 seems to steer hard. Have any of you ever had this problem? Josh h

This unit has a piston motor which is rated at 12 GPM @ 2500 psi, and puts out 12,000 watts. I have it going into a flow control valve, then to a 10 micron high pressure filter, then into the piston motor.

I was wondering if someone could confirm which coupler is the inlet for the PTO. When sitting on the operators seat, the coupler to the left (which is female) is the inlet for the PTO, right? Thanks for reading, Josh

I'm trying to understand why the paper gasket in-between the Piston and Gear pump leaks? What I mean is, where is the oil exactly coming from, because after looking at pictures on these pumps, it looks like there should be no oil where they connect at. Thanks for reading and any advise will...

This PT is for sale to anyone interested. $11,200 for the whole package, or pieces sold separately. I sent Power Trac the pictures, asking them if they would put them on their "used" page.

Is it normal for the 1430 to only get up to 100 degrees after running for about 7 minutes (ambient temp 65 degrees.) Also, when I add oil to the Top Oil Fill Up when it is cold, should I notice the oil level went up on the dip stick? Thanks everyone. Josh

The Subaru has been drawing in leaves and grass that the back tires kick up, so this 304 stainless steel mesh seems to keep all of that junk from being drawn into the shroud and staying there. As I recall, someone on here had a Subaru engine fail and later found out the leaves and grass was...

Having a diesel PT was the way I wanted to go, although, the 1430 is just a little too big for what would be practical in my case. I'm just wondering if there is anyone that has ever looked into putting an air-cooled diesel engine in their PT-425? Air-cooled would seem more savvy to me since one...

I was wondering if anyone knows what the speed is of the bottom PTO pulley (that hooks to the attachment) on the Steiner 430 Max? At a speed of around 3500 rpm. The reason I'm asking is because I'm converting a attachment to a hydraulic motor and would like to know what type of speed I need.

I was wondering if anyone found a name brand paint that is close to the PT-425 green? Your answers are appreciated.

My Steiner has pins with no grease fittings or anything to stop the pins from rolling inside the mount holes. Therefore, obviously likely to wear the holes lose. Does anyone think that a grade 8 bolt with a nylon lock nut would work without rolling when lifting a heavy load? Thanks for...

Hello everyone, I will use a general example of the light on a tractor. When you turn the light switch on, does the D/C current flow from the positive post in through the switch, through the light and into the frame, or does it come in through the frame first (negative post) then through the...

My trailer lights work sometimes, sometimes not and was thinking that the problem was in the connection that plugs into my truck circuit. After checking things with the test light and multimeter I think now that the problem is that the light boxes are not getting the proper ground, so I'm going...

Hello, This looks like the web site for "tractor talk" and the 2009 Steiner 430 Max of mine is always fun to work on and put to work. I was down in Tazewell Virginia last year to look at the Power trac pt 425 and pt 1430. The PT425 will probably be my next machine.
