An equipment show NOT MEANT for the public.

This show has new Mowers, gear and equipment but its only for cities & municipalities. The public is not Invited. I go in to see the new equipment. BUT Some I am NOT allowed to film...

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

The yellow/red is: Vredo compact seeder. The blue thing is: The IMANTS® ShockWave is a linear decompactor, designed to revitalise heavy wear areas by relieving soil compaction, improving aeration and removing surface water. Used on fine turf like golf courses.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks for the info!

I was thinking Dethatcher

[@Jimmy_in_Mexico]

@@Dirtmonkey when i see you going thru this event and talking with people it seems like they weren't too keen on you being there. I think that contractors like you and others should be catered to because sooner or later the cities are going to be in a money crunch and won't be able to have all the nice toys. It individuals that make stuff happen. And I also wondered why it seemed like they always send out company reps to an expo that never want to talk with the public. Lack of training.

[@CrusaderSports250]

@@Jimmy_in_Mexicoalso remember when the toys get older and sold on that's when the smaller operator gets to play, and spares sales, whether to new or second hand purchasers are still sales.

[@williambrooymans]

that vredo seeder is a reseeder. it cuts a small v groove which enables a gap where the seeds fall in. it cat seed in thick grass with a row distance of 1 inch!! the vredo and imants are both made in the Netherlands.

The red/yellow thing is a motorized hot dog stand, and the blue thing is a water wheel so you can paddle through deep water obviously

[@tundralife5570]

I KNEW IT!!!! 👍🏻

That was my second guess!

I’ve had my kubota SCL 1000 for 2 months now. I really like the wide tracks on the narrow frame. Doesn’t tear up the turf. I use mine for irrigation work.

[@jesseandaya7788]

That blue attachment is a slicer that help loosen up the ground and allow for aeration and help areas with standing water to drain.

[@joewearsadroolbib7347]

I use the XLG 467 with the 72" deck, rototiller attachment and hydro seeder for overgrown asphalt parking lots. It's amazing for short work snow removal as well. Best of all, it's priced under $18,000 with the attachments.

[@Superintendent-iy9zv]

Ventrac BEST RIG EVER BUILT, HANDS DOWN!! I'm a golf course superintendent, just demoed one and ordered a brand new one after one day. Best rig on the market!! Can't wait to take delivery next may!! Power, great cut, and takes on hillsides with NO ISSUES!

[@lesransom2964]

The first cub cadet seems to be their answer to a Ventrac. Oh wait ! I saw a Ventrac in the background when you were talking about the Kubota UTV. The drone is pretty cool. I like that remote ballpark line doodad. Oh ! Oh ! VENTRAC !!! I needed that lol The ABI machine was real nice with all those attachments. Thanks Stan for sneaking us in

[@Dirtmonkey]

glad you enjoyed the show!

Thanks for bringing us along!

[@Titan.Fox56]

I just got to admit I enjoy watching and going to these types of things myself, just the way they improve their equipment or bring out newer stuff that can make doing the job just a little bit easier and less stressful blows my mind. Pretty cool can't wait to see what they are gonna unveil.

[@mikemcgown6362]

That was an interesting product show. I don't know what most of it was or the uses for the equipment, but for somebody like you that does that kind of work, that would be a blast! Good manufacturers develop new equipment to make jobs more efficient and productive. Glad to see they still stepping up with the pandemic still happening. Life does go on! Thanks for sharing the experience and information with us! God bless you!

[@stevebrough304]

That was a cool unexpected discovery. I've got no idea what the mystery equipment was. I did like seeing the VenTrac unit. I had mentioned that company to you awhile back.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks braddah 👊

[@dave_n8pu]

Being a old retired guy, the thing that impressed me the most was the swivel seat on that lawn mower. To bad that doesn't come standard on your Big Box home improvement store lawn mowing machines. You mentioned about butt pucker because of some of the angles, I have just the average house with a couple of small slops that I hang onto the machine until I get back on level ground.

[@Dirtmonkey]

That seat is simple- but very nice!

[@michaelpieczynski9340]

That first mower is dope

Some great innovation shown here. Good show.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks for watching!

[@aw02pye]

Imants shockwave is a aerator that slits lines into the ground causing the earth to move and open up. The thing beside it was a Vredo disc seeder, simple disc overseeder. I work with a 3m shockwave and a 2.8m vredo. Good bits of kit.

[@aw02pye]

Also the Trimax pegasus s4 is possibly the best roller mower on the market.

[@UteTrac]

I love to see people with integrity! good on you Stan!

Appreciate ya Chris 😊

[@landscapingspecialist]

Gravely has an implement down pressure setup like the lesco aerator/seeder. Looked at one few weeks back. I like that setup

[@Ryan_Maineaquaria]

That cub cadet seat almost has me sold on that mower!

[@lebotnov66]

The blue attachment: In Ottawa, Canada we call it a slicer. The other one we call an overseeder. I don't understand why someone would use a slicer that pushes the ground right back down (roller). Also, why would one use a large drum that would compact soil when overseeding? Soil compaction is what cities/municipalities fight on their sportfields all the time. The slicer shouldn't ever be used on an irrigated field (One wrong move and there's a costly mess). We generally used a slicer on low-grade fields, i.e., ones constructed with 'rocky' soil. Aerators are the preferred equipment. Please sometimes ask about being able to use the field the evening on the day one aerates because of the soil 'turds' everywhere. We followed behind with a machine that had a rotating spindle with 6" rubber coated cable pieces attached, which broke up the 'turds.' On the back of this attachment we had a 'flexible grate' which levelled out the loose soil and stood the grass back up. Integrated turf management specialist.

[@bynu2]

We run a couple ventrac with rough mowers or aerators in the summer otherwise we use 20 some ventrac 4500s in the winter

[@pyro323]

Stan's crop dusting involves 🌽 and 🌾 My crop dusting involves 💨 💩 🤮

LOL ok maybe mine involve a bit of both too

bought a CubCadet Z-Force this year to mow my 15-20ish grade 5 acre yard and that thing is amazing....doing donuts around trees on hills , never feel like Im not in control....great machine :)

[@tylermallory2504]

Only problem with the drones for crop dusting is the lack of payload, they can't carry very much chemical...

[@BWSNOW]

What a great show and It was great to meet you!! We should do a video on the next demo unit I get! I just did one with ventrac on their edger and I did miles and miles of curb and sidewalk edging. -Bert

The Gravely EV is $25,000...for one mower!!!!!! Ummm yeah, I'll stick with gas power for my mowers.

You would only have to charge 10 times as much for a yard. I'm sure there will be many government institutions that shell out for one or two without blinking an eye.

[@thehunt4truth570]

A-frickin-men!! I can't agree more, yet nevertheless our political parasites are determined to end gas powered EVERYTHING, and FORCE us into a life of battery powered everything, and dirty electrickery for everything else! Free energy be damned because there ain't no damn room for greed in it since there's no way for the rat bastard corporation to make endless profits from such a thing!

Great video for all the technology we have and as long as commercial mower have been around youd think the seat swivel would have came about sooner but I understand why it's on the cub cadet my neighbor just bought one like this one and the way you sit on and in a mower with that design its necessary you basically have to hold yourself strait with the steering wheel I bet ventrac is wishing they did it first

Enjoy your content and would like your opinion on something. I met a Mason/concrete company owner that has a successful operation going. I asked him about loaders, skid steers, ASVs etc...as far as purchasing equip and he's of the belief that purchasing any of that type of equipment is a terrible business decision under any circumstance. No matter how busy you are, when you factor storing, insurance, maintenance, paying for someone trained to operate it, tow it and transport it to job sites, permitting, liabilities if someone is injured or property is damaged etc.. Buying any Machinery is a complete waste of money when compared to simply renting what you need and not having to worry about those issues mentioned. Would you share your thoughts on this in a video, whether you agree or not and to what extent. Much appreciated
