I see that you have a 1430, but what is a 1490? Is this something new?

Just a dream I had.

Just a dream I had.

If you change out your engine for a larger one, you could match up a large pump. My 1445 has a 45 HP gas, 4 cyl Ford Industrial engine in it. I am very satisfied with it. It's not very loud either.

You know, I was thinking there are lots of Chevy 250's and 292's out there. Run for a hundred thousand miles with nothing but oil changes. Just slap a couple belt driven pumps on 'em and off you go.

Thank you for the input. I bought the 1430 But I did look at the 422 and decided to go a size larger since I would put alot of hours on it. Plus the diesel engine . When I bought the 1430 I wish I did more investigating on the product like, heavier ply rating on tires ,and all the hoses on my massy ferguson and new dump truck piston has steel belted hoses with heavy duty rubber gaurds on them .The parker hoses on my 1430 are not equall to the massy hoses . I slowly replace the parker hoses with good ones. I think when I bought my Pt I think It must have been on the shelf for awhile because alot of rubber part have worn out after 1 year. If Pt would take a few notes from Bobcat and make everthing heavy duty it would be the best machine out there. I can take my Pt alot of places were a bocat could not go. I am like you sedgewood i beat my machine with in reason when I work it. I let know one else drive it but me

We use the 1430 in our tree landscape service business and find it very useful. Sure makes the work a lot easier than before. Would we do it again? Of course, without a doubt.
