Why I Bought a PowerTrac 425

[pajoube]

Many asked about last years plantings. Here are 4 shots of what it looks like after one year of growth. That includes ornamental plants as well as seed on walk areas.
This project could not have been done without the 425.

Looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you. I have some questions, because I maintain my dirt road with my Kubota B9200 HST, box blade and scraper

Which side of the PT boxblade is doing most of the work? The front part of the box, or the rear. Is the front and the rear built the same? Do you use the front for pushing and the back for pulling? How does it compare to a regular boxblade? Is it possible to do any beveling as on a roadbed?

J.J.

The front part of the box blade is wedge shaped so that you can pull or push. The guides (pulling dirt) are only on the rear for pulling. I normally do my finish leveling in float pulling backwards. I push into piles that will be carried away.
This would not work for beveling as you can only put into flat mode.
All in all for the low price of a box blade it is money very well spent.

You have done a considerable amount of work and it looks great. You live in a beautiful part of the country. Bozeman is a great place.

Lots of work, which you must enjoy, as most of us on the forum do. The result is beautiful, which allows everyone to share in the enjoyment. Very very nice.

Wife wanted me to move plants from on top of wall to bottom of wall and then train them to climb.
Hooked up the mini hoe and dug 7 two foot deep holes in vary hard clay drive way.

Digging was easy with the mini hoe even in the hard clay and stone.
