I am looking for real world experience from an owner on lift capacity with the fork attachment. I have owned a 1425, 1430, and a 2445 with backhoe in the past and could at times lift 2400 lbs with the 2445 up to a height of around 3 feet off of the ground. Granted, this was with the weight of...

I have a 650 John Deere tractor and someone decided they needed a three point hitch more than I do. I checked with the local Deere dealer and all they told me was happy hunting as parts are no longer available for that model. So my question is somewhat two fold, is there a Yanmar cross or will...

Anyone out there have a 1460 or had one in the past? I am looking to go to a machine that has a heavy lift capacity and can lift more than my 2445. Really looking to skid pallets that weigh in at around 3,000 lbs. My 2445 lifts 2,500 lbs. with a little care as far as maneuvering. I just...

I have been trying to sell my 1430 as a trailer package along with some attachments, but have had no real luck. I am looking to upgrade to a 1460 in the spring and need to start moving equipment out now. I am keeping my 2445, and with that have decided to keep the trailer, forks, rock bucket...

Hey all, Today it is 16 degrees in St. Louis, and low and behold, I can not get either of my PTs to start. They are both Deutz and have always given me trouble in the cold weather. I was wondering if there is a way to install glow plugs onto these engines. I am now offering snow removal...

I have these attachments up for sale. The Power Rake I have never really used, and have replaced it with a new tracked machine. I also have a Planter drill head with 4 augers for sale that has also had little use. We are getting rid of attachments that do not get much use or are being...

I am just seeing if there is any interest in a 1430 trailer package. The tractor is a 2002 PT 1430 with quick attach and has only 312 hours. I am selling it along with the Power Trac 16 foot trailer that has the lockable toolboxes, tie down straps, spare trailer tire, fuel can, jack, and...

I have a steering failure on my PT2445. The machine was grading some soil moving forward when I went to turn to the left and the 2 frame halves made contact. I no longer have any response from the steering wheel. The loader and all other hydraulic functions are working normally. It seems...

I was just curious if anyone has ever messed with making one of these machines, particularly the bucket loader 2400 series, achieve a steeper dump angle. This would make the machine a lot more productive for loading trucks, especially one with high sides. I am planning on toying with this...

I have a 2445 with the Deutz diesel that has decided that it no longer likes its fuel pump. I am going to try and locate one locally tomorrow morning and hopefully have it up and running before lunch time tomorrow. Has anyone done a fuel pump on their machine? And if so, how hard is it, what...

I have a 2445 with backhoe and was wondering if the rest of you with backhoes have excessive leak down issues. My hoe will leak down very quickly, more so than any other machines that we own, Moslty it is the dipper arm cylinder that will leak down from full extension to retracted position in...

I have a 2445 that, for lack of a better word, has a spongy effect. Let me explain. When the lift arms are lowered into position, the arms will drift upwards approximately 2 to 3 inches and stop. If you put them back to the position that you want, they do it again. This seems to only happen...

Has anyone upgraded the hydraulic coolers on their machines? I have a 2445 with backhoe, and after a short time of use, the machine gets hot enough to just about boil you off of the seat!! My 2445 has the same size oil cooler as my 1430, but does a larger amount of hydraulic work and pushes...

Does anyone have a 3 point hitch on a 2445? I have a 2445 with all of the controls for the 3 point hitch plumbed by PT, but could not swallow paying the large amount of money that PT wanted for the hitch when I made the initial purchase. I had purchased lift arms a few years ago, but just...

Does anyone own one of these models?? I am just curious as to what these machines will actually lift. I know they are rated at 2400, but I have a 2445 that picks up way more than its' 1800 lb rating. Bill

I am in need of a machine that has a stout backhoe and can lift at least 2,500 pounds to a height of 6 foot minimum. It has to be four wheel drive, diesel, and have an overall width of not more than 66 inches. I am aware and have demoed the Bobcat TLBs. The B300 is able to do all that I want...

I am looking at a compact TLB purchase and was wondering how well the Kubota L35 and L48 are to own and operate. I would like to know how reliable they are ad if there are any trouble areas. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks! Bill

I am looking at a TLB purchase in the compact category and am just wondering what kind of luck any of you have had with it? Looking for power, ease of use, and reliability. Also, what have you done with it and what is prone to problems. Thanks! Bill

Anyone out there own/operate a Bobcat brand Tractor Loader Backhoe? I have demoed a B300 and am now demoing a B250. I am just wondering what kind of luck people have had with these machines as far as reliability and power. I believe these machines used to be under the Earthforce name. I am...

I may be looking to sell my PT2445 trailer package. I have to upgrade to a little bit heavier machine due to more work on new construction sites. The tractor has 400 hours and comes with the backhoe with 12" bucket. The trailer has the 10,000 lb gvw and comes with a spare tractor tire, spare...

Looking for any troubles with the 110 TLB. Pros and cons perhaps. I am a full service landscape contractor and am pretty demanding on machinery. I would love some insight into the use of this machine on a professional level. Thanks in advance!

I am wondering if anyone else out there is having problems keeping o rings in their backhoe. I have gone through countless o rings in the backhoe manifold. We keep extras on the truck and can get no answers from Power Trac. I was just curious if anyone else had experienced this, and if so...

I am a landscape contractor who currently runs 2 Power Trac machines and 1 Polaris track loader and am wanting a good, dependable tractor to tug around a box scraper, rock rake, and a brush hog. A basic, no frills, all around, DEPENDABLE grading tractor is all that I am after. No loader work...

Do any of you own Power Tracs' version of the power rake. I do own but never really had good luck with it. I bought mine 2 years ago and asked Terry if they had a front wheel configuration for them like the skid steer Harley Rake. He said that they were not needed and that their rake worked...

I am just curious as to how many of you out there that own Power Tracs use them day in and day out in commercial applications. I own a landscape company and own a PT 1430 and a PT 2445 trailer package. Also, which attachments do you use and how beneficial are they?
