Subject: PTX 600 isn't a great machine


Prairie of Southern MN
I have quite a bit of seat time ahead of a PTX 600. It's not even in the same category as a 2400 or 2410. Very lightly built, it has less iron in it than JD or Wil-rich field cultivators, and it's supposed to be a primary tillage tool? It does an adequate job in bean stubble, but have experienced many little breakdowns - broken shanks, broken leveling linkage, broken lift linkage. Have not had to do any frame welding...yet.

And to the OP, the 30 footer I've been around still has those front castor wheels.

Another poster mentioned it was a re-branded Flexi-coil. That makes sense, and I wonder if I would think better of the machine running primarily in lighter, dryer plains soils vs. wetter and heavier corn belt soils.
