PT 1430
The tractor arrived a couple mourning's ago. been looking it over and there's been some upgrades since my old 2003 was built.

The engine has been upgraded from a Deutz 1011f with 28 HP to a 2011f with 31HP.
the wheel motors have been upgraded to ones with case drains and they supposedly have more torque.
On the old tractor, the wheel motor boxes and wheel motors were mounted to the outside of the tub. the hoses passed thru holes in the tub and attached to the motors on outside. the boxes were also open on top and bottom which aloud debris to collect around the motor. On the new tractor, the boxes are fully enclosed. The wheel motors protrude into the tub where the hoses connect.

The filler caps on the fuel and hydraulic tanks have been upgraded.
And the one change that really caught my attention was new hydraulic filter. it's huge.

I'll post some pics as soon as I retrain myself on how to do it. been a long time.

That looks sweet. Looks like workmanship is much more refined. Please give us some seat time reports. Is the filter change interval still 50 hours.

It is. At least till the warranty expires. That new filter is a big one. Hope I can find a wrench to fit it.

I don't know if it is the same as the 1445, but I use a 1/2" drive strap wrench, and it is never trivial.

Congratulations.

All the best,

Peter

I see it has a tilt gauge rod for the quick attach.

And I see the smokestack through the ROPs upright. ;)

Beautiful. Quick, smear it with mud before it becomes a hanger queen.
