I don't own a 2422, 2425 or any PT (yet!) for that matter, so 'scuse me for chiming in, but I would like to know what PT owners have to comment about the 24 series in general?
I have a line on a used PT 2445 package with numerous implements, a trailer and a backhoe !!! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif....all for an almost reasonable price (still need a budget stretcher), low (<1000) hours, well maintained.
My reasoning is that the extra hp would be nice, along with the extra weight, lifting capacity etc. I suspect it would not be quite as convenient for mowing, but given all the other work ahead of us, I'm not inclined to let that tail wag the dog.
All that said, I don't have any comparison comfort wise. Is the seat placement relative to controls on the 24 series really that uncomfortable as compared to the 18 series? Will mowing be impractical with this machine? Any other observations, caveats or concerns?
Am I placing too much emphasis on the extra power & weight?
