I have been a PT owner for about 5 yrs now and SURE WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS SOONER. I would probably have more hair on my head. They are definitely love hate. Most days I would take great joy in watching it burn TO THE GROUND and yet I would probably buy another one if I had to. I think the frame is the only factory thing left on my tractor, literally. I have learned NOT to buy parts from the because they are outrageous on prices. They sold me on being able to "buy whatever you need anywhere to fix it". Yeah right. The motors are standard white motors, but they've been machined down .00000002645243273292398243 of an inch or something stupid so I have to buy it from them at $500+ when a normal motor is like $150 or something.
I bought a new chain for the trencher.....$500+. It wore out in about 2 days..no kidding. I called them and they said (in a drawl) "well you gotta change the sproket buddy" Thanks "buddy" why didn't you tell me that 3 days ago when I ordered a new chain...oh you want me to buy another one!
Well anyway I have many more, but will have some new questions, like this one:
I have a 425 and the front arms (third set by the way) won't hold much weight. I can pick it up, but it slowly falls. Suggestions???
