I moved one step closer to buying the Ventrac with tough cut. My local (1.5 hour away) dealer rents Ventracs in any configuration I want, so I have one booked for Friday. I'm asking for it to be fitted with dual rear wheels, as that is probably the configuration I would buy due to the swampy areas on my property. I remember one of your videos where you install the duals, but I do not remember you giving us an overall width measurement with them installed. I'm praying less than 72" as my trailer is a 6'x12'. In any event, for the general benefit of the Ventrac curious, I have found that many dealers do rent them and a variety of attachments. So if you buy the base tractor with whatever you would most routinely use, you need not spend a fortune in implements, but rent them when you need them.
@TractorTimewithTim
@TractorTimewithTim 4 жыл бұрын
Where are you located? With the duals installed, it is just over 6’ wide. Also, the tough cut is an6’ cutting width, so it is over 6’ wide as well. You can take one dual off each side quite easily. I used to do it for every job when I had only my 6’ wide trailer. Not sure how you will handle the tough cut width.

@@TractorTimewithTim I am not sure where to post my review of this weekend's Ventrac trial, so feel free to move this comment to another thread or use on your website, or wherever you think it might be most useful. I didn't do any video as I needed one hand to steer, one have to drive, and all of my brain cells focused on the task at hand. So first of all, I think you got cheated on your old trailer if Venny wouldn't fit with duals. My Venny fit exactly (not a pressed fit, but not a 1/4" to spare either). The 4500 I rented (from Cecil's Tractors, in Warrenton, VA) was a dealer demo unit, so it had pretty much every option available. I rented it with the duals and tough cut mower. No discount on rental, but Cecil's does have a veteran/Farmer Veteran Coalition discount on new equipment sales. I got a good talk from the service center guys and salesman, so I felt somewhat prepared for the weekend's tasks. I headed out early Saturday morning (22 degrees here), with my fearless Bichon Friise, Snowball. So it was straight off to the woods. I have a 25 acre, kind of swampy, very overgrown tree farm. I have walls of briars which rival the great wall of China, and no shortage of scrub. Additionally, there are many large stumps from when the hardwoods were harvested 30 years ago. Pine was harvested then replanted about 11 years ago. It took the first two hours getting use to driving an articulating/oscillating tractor. Even though you lose from maneuverability with the duals, this tractor is infinitely more nimble than anything short of a track steer. I warmed up by punching through a wall of briars about 16 feet seep, and 60 feet wide. The issues I ran into here was that I could not see rocks or stumps until I was pretty well on top of them. Thus, rather than simply leaving the deck in float mode, I had to to raise the deck, then lower it onto areas where visibility was limited. Even with my Carharts, chainsaw helmet with face shield, and gloves, I managed to get torn up pretty good. Next, I went after a lot of small trees. Ventrac claims the tough cut mower will do a 1" thick sapling with no issue. It'll do a good bit thicker than that, but you you didn't hear that from me. So, thinks I, let's see about one of the muddy spots with lots of briars and scrub. Well, says Venny, let's make sure I get a good 40' into the mud before I sink to the frame. I called my 18 year old son to come out and help, but by being on his way, he usually means in the next 4-5 hours. Venny laughed at my come-along, so I grabbed the shepherd's jack, some 2x8, and finally had to go home and get the UTV to winch Venny out. Using the down pressure on the deck made getting planks under the front wheels much easier. When son finally got there he asked how I liked my new "Chinese knock-off" Yamaha Rhino. I had to reply, it had just rescued my American made mower, so I guess I like it just fine. Back to mowing/brush cutting. Somehow in the rescue of Venny, the right rear outer wheel worked loose enough that I lost it on a trail. Took a few minutes to find it and reattach. I also lost a belt cover, but found it right away. I ran Venny;'s clock up by 14.5 hours this weekend, and cleared probably around 3-4 acres. The rental company is very adamant about returning equipment clean, so it took $22 at the car wash to get her nice and clean again (and to wash my stall out per the polite attendant's request). The point of renting Venny this weekend was to evaluate a Ventrac as my only tractor for maintaining this property. A CUT with a brush hog is kind of useless for cutting around closely planted trees. I'd like a Cat 299D with a Fecon brush head, but don't have the spare $120K kicking around for one of those. Other equipment I've used on this property include a 26" Billy Goat brush cutter (don't laugh - that is a very fine machine, but it would take years to mow the property 26" at a time. I purchased a 36" Brush Beast walk behind, and it worked very well for making a walking path through my jungle. It didn't do so hot on the great wall of briars, but even Venny had a fit with that. It will knock down 4" thick stuff and mulch it up and it has a stump jumper and swinging blades. I wish Ventrac would offer a brush hog style front deck. So, how did Venny fair in the one tractor competition? Well, the tough cut mower alone will be great for maintaining the property once under control. I'll still need help from bigger and badder machinery. My next rental will be a track steer with a rotary mower, but even it will require a lot of dismounting and and chainsawing (and no, I won't even try the muddy spots with it). I think the Ventrac is what I will purchase in the end if I can verify a few capabilities. First, I would like to know if the bucket can be operating in the rear mounted position (and use a grapple operated by the auxiliary hydraulic ports. Next, I'd like to know if someone makes a forestry skidder that can use Venny's rear hydraulics since he has no rear PTO. I then need to know how well Venny can pull a plow or root rake. That's all for now. I'll probably rent Venny again in March since the rest of February's weekend belong to the Boy Scouts. Maybe I'll get a Go-Pro mount and do some video then.

Also be sure to keep any mower deck attachment in the float position only,........especially when mowing steep hills so it doesn't create down force on the mower deck, causing it to lift the front drive wheels off the ground. If that happens on the side of a hill, it could cause the front end of the tractor to completely lose control and slide down the hill.

We own one tractor (Johnny). We have two loaner units from sponsors: 1. Casey - Case CX17C excavator 2. Vinny - Ventrac 4500

The only way I would consider doing this with a skid steer is to keep the engine on the uphill side and stay away from any sideways travel
@wvboy0311
@wvboy0311 5 жыл бұрын
Sometimes its easier to travel sideways with a skidsteer the tracks bite in sideways amd stay when you would slide off going down frontwards i mowed gas pipeline right of ways with a cat 279 tracked skidsteer amd a 6 foot brush hog and i took a bunch of rides that i didnt want to but ive had them side ways on a little steeper than a 2 to 1 slope

Never been on a tracked skid steer. But I'll take your word for it . A wheeled skid steer I would be nervous sideways.

The homeowner needs a Ventrac. That is steep. If I was the homeowner, I would consider installing a fence to prevent someone from falling into the creek. You did a great job!

I was wondering how they are going to manage that part of the property own their own in the future. Looking at the creek and their little boy, I'd have to agree that a fence might be a good idea. I'd love to see the place in a year or so to see what they do with the property.

They do. It is called the 'Versa-Loader'. A bit limited, but it would help in some ways. This is not a direct competitor to a compact tractor. It is a bit more specialized. Works very well for the intended tasks (usually 'turf/snow' specific.

Tim great video and a great way of showing what a Ventrac can do. You definitely couldn't of done that with Johnny. I am really impressed with the dual wheels what that machine is capable of doing I agree with you I don't think it would roll over that easy the way its designed with such a low center of gravity but i think it would just slide. I'M not sure you could of done some of that with just single wheels the duels really help in a lot of ways I look forward to seeing other videos after you figured out the weight transfer system to see how much more that helps it. Have you gotten or are you still supposed to the diesel version? Thanks so much for sharing these videos and parts of your's and your families life with us. Is your dad still doing ok has he been back in the combine lately? Hope you had a great weekend. God Bless!!!

We have the diesel now...but the videos won't show it for a long time. Sorry. We have to work through some more (really good..even better than this one) videos of the Kawasaki engine version first. I'll have some evaluation of the Gas vs. Diesel at some point. Let's just say that I really liked the Kawasaki engine.
