Why does your exact-path control-module look like that with all that white around it?

[@javiertabora3547]

I WANT THIS 😫

[@AngryVikingGnome]

How do you switch from broadcast back to exact path

[@treadlightlyservicesllc.1930]

You push the upper right button which I believe is the power and the turtle and hold it down it will start as green and turn to Red in the LEDs

Thanks for the information. We are considering adding one of these machines to our fleet. .

What's your opinion of this compared to the Ventrac? I want one of these machines for our snow removal fleet but don't know which one to go with. My biggest draw to the Ventrac is the broom attachment and the faster speed but not sure it's worth the higher price tag.

[@lancegee7490]

Imo the faster speed is worth it. The boss feels so slow after getting off the ventrac. Also the plow control on the ventrac is on the right, whereas the boss is on the left side. So if your right handed the ventrac is way easier to run. The salt spreader controller for the ventrac is easier to access too while you're driving which is super important. I flip that switch probably 80 times in a night when i go around 90 degree corners. As far as the broom goes, i never use it for the places i do with it because it's so much longer and heavier than the plow. If you have big long commercial warehouses or shopping centers it would work awesome but not in tight places

@@lancegee7490 Cool! I appreciate the input. Now all I have to do is make my case to my head boss and see how it plays out haha.

@@FostaFunk the labor and salt savings alone are worth it. I've put 50 hrs on the ventrac between last winter and this winter. So if it does the work of 3 people in the same amount of time, that's essentially 100 man hrs of time saved in 2 years. At 25-35$ an hour, thats 2500-3500$ saved in just labor in 2 winters. I also use about 8-10 bags less of calcium each snow because of it's efficiency so it adds up. They're definitely worth it, but you need a decent operator as they can be a little tricky to get efficient. I hate shovels now lol

Wow.... that thing is dropping WAY too much material. The idea of a drop spreader is to reduce material by placing it in the proper place and well regulated. After watching all the videos on the snowrator and the issues people have reported, glad i saved my money.

[@lancegee7490]

I believe in the video i had the spreader turned up all the way so yes it was dropping a lot. But you can regulate how much it uses with the controller for it. We've had no issues out of them. They are slow compared to the ventrac but i guarantee it'll outwork 3 guys with a shovel
