KC - for the time I spent on it, the 2422 didn't give me any problems, however, it was a relatively flat area. I'm sure it is not as stable as the 422 I bought since the COG is higher (you sit above the engine). I don't have the frame of reference to compare it to a JD, Kubota etc. Sorry, but I can't help you on this one.

Don't get locked in on the big names. I just went through this same process and will be placing an order for a Power-trac. Will spend less but get much more than I could with a JD or Kubota solution. It also has more power (800 Lbs lifting), better ergonomics and has a better approach to attachments. There are other threads concerning about this line posted elsewere.

Has anyone been using a PT-2422? Does the higher profile alter the stability? Any problems / praises for the backhoe unit? Is the engine sufficient for what you are doing with the machine? Any problems with the Robbins engine? Thanks for any/all feedback... will post my own impression next week as I plan on visiting the plant on Saturday.

Seems like everyone goes through the same process. Start looking, come accross PT on the web, and start digging for everything they can. I'll check on the height for loading a pickup from the side, although I won't have that need myself. Perhaps some others out there can comment on this.

As for mounting a ball hitch, my understanding is they have a small extension piece that bolts to the back to put the ball a few more inches out from the frame to allow clearence for larger hitches. I'm just wondering what the effective rating at the toung would be under this configuration. I did receive a call from Bryan who had also posted here (same process 10 months ago). He loves that machine and has made his own hitch... no problems hauling a trailer of dirt around, so it may not really effect the machines performance.

I find it amazing when comparing the stats to JD, Kubota, Ingersol, Steiner, Ventrac etc. It will be fun to check these things out in person. I am also really getting attached to the idea of eliminating belts as part of any PTO.

I'll let you know what I find out.

Anyone use a Ball Hitch on a Power-Trac
