ST-470 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Thought this deserved more recognition that it probably got. Kudo's to the owner for a super sharp very late model 25B!!! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale560 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Very nice machine. I serviced one out for a local cable layer. It was a pull cat setup no blade but a winch and drawbar on back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmbess09 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Does that machine belong to Gregg Gibbs and his brother that own Blue Ridge tractor in Benton Illinois by chance. Great guys and that’s a super sharp 25 B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.D.G Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Still has the older type mechanical power shift, later ones had the hyd pilot control for the power shift. Think that has been given a round nose cone to make it look like a later model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Gibbs Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 The tractor in the background is a 25 e built by International Harvester up until 1986 it's an 84 model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binderdan Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Was a TD-25E with the International Hough badging. Had a long wedge on the rear for splitting tree stumps. I thought it was so cool of someone to bring these big machines. The PayLine machines don't get much recognition compared to the AG and trucks, and stuff this big has to be expensive and time consuming to bring to the shows. Supposedly the old timer sitting down under the tent bought the TD-25B new. He was nice enough to allow me to sit in the seat of this beast! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
