I have emailed Eric for more information but no answer from him as yet.
This is over kill for my needs but the price is right.

He emailed me today asking about the pictures. I will try to get some. He has read the emails and said everyone is wanting pictures.

Dave, have you or do you know of anyone who has checked into an upgrade to the hitching process?I still haven't seen a power-trac yet let alone two different styles. I also joined the e-mail crowd but this is a race I don't think I'm equipped to win

Any news on this unit yet - am I reading this right - no posts in two days?

I think everyone but you and I must have gone to Carolina to look for that 1430 package.

I guess your right Charlie

- I don't know - do you think it is really that great of deal? - I don't like the idea of purchasing equipment used commercially - I think it has around 800 hours which I guess is fairly low - but the only attachment I really would be interested in is the buckets and the auger - I would think that the auger would be fairly beat up - the machine was used for fencing

the trailer would be nice - but kind of heavy for my use
-I think it would be great for a commercial guy

or maybe the trailer could be resold - need to check what that would go for -

I like a new machine

you have a good point. I have had my USED PT425 for a week now and I have put $200 into it already. It could also use a new seat. Motor and pumps seem good right now but all parts have been used and you really don't know if they were used properly or taken to the limit.
