Happy anniversary y'all! Ventral has bolt on teeth sets for the power bucket and a grapple for it (not sure if the grapple works with the bucket on the back, but it might).

This is just the video I needed to see. Power bucket is legit same with the power rake. Good work!

Hey, Happy Anniversary guys. We'll have had 36 years this year, but you're doing well. Here's to many more.

Thanks for the kind words!

​@@TractorTimewithTimNo Problem, Thank you for giving so much of your knowledge, Quick question, what is the best Multi purpose tool for a tractor, I know that old tractors cant have many attachments, but I am on a budget, and I am getting an older tractor, So a loader isn't really an option currently, I am just curious what you would recommend.

[@timfisk2779]

Happy Anniversary Tim and Christy! Wish someone had a Vinnie when we redone our sewer line years ago. Thing I was always told by the older guys, do grass seed in a month with a r in it. If you can broad cast some just as it starts to snow so it get covered with the snow. Will have some of the best looking grass in the spring. Keep up the good work.

[@FirstRateLawnServiceRaleigh]

I'm glad it's not me because I was thinking that there was something wrong with my Aera-vator. I agree it is the hardest attachment to hook up. When you find out why please let me know, thanks.

[@ziggycoops]

Hey tim. Have you seen the loader attachment the vintrac has? Would be a good way to have the joys of both with out having both machines with you.

[@mueckenhoeffer]

So the power bucket will obviously work on the rear of Venny if he has the 3PH. Now if I purchased a brush grapple for the power bucket, would it work as well in the rear mounted position? Thanks.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yes, as long as you have two rear scv’s

[@idahofabricator8710]

Tim I noticed a nice feature on the vinny the front gauge wheels for the power rake have a great design it allows you to get right up close to trees, posts and power rake. a lot of gauge wheels I’ve seen just have a bar going straight across so you couldn’t get up close or tight to something. Happy Anniversary

Hey Christy and Tim, Happy anniversary ! Don't forget Katriel - Vinny and Johnny are not Tim's actual children. Great video as usual.

Powerrakes are awesome. I just wish they werent so expensive. I had sticker shock when I looked into buying one for work. Couldn't justify cost for work let alone personel use.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I don’t understand why they are so expensive! Doesn’t seem to be much more complicated than a brush mower.

[@genelewis4074]

Another good flick. Thanks Brother Tim. By the way, I received an information packet from Ventrac, but I didn't call on the pricing. No joy from my finance committee. maybe later.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Uhoh! I probably need to bring Vinny up there to level the mess I made!

I will get back with you on that. I'm still wet. My better half thinks I'm going to get it done with my tiller. Time will tell. Thanks Brother Tim. @@TractorTimewithTim

[@LansingLawnServiceLLC]

This was an awesome video. I am in the financing process to buy a Ventrac right now and I was really watching to see what can be done with the power bucket. However, I hadn't given much thought to the power rake because they are so expensive. This video gave me a good business idea. I own a lawn care business and I cannot tell you how many of these sewer repair mounds of dirt I have seen. This could mean an easy $350 to $400 dollars an hour.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

The power rake is my favorite and by far the most versatile attachment for the Ventrac.

[@rccrazy30]

Just did a similar project for my grandparents. I rented a mini skid steer with a power rake...$500 later it made quick work of it but the yard was FILLED with rocks and boulders. I picked as many up as I could but I could have spent days there just picking up decent sized rocks.

I believe having the tires kind of at a low pressure allows for more tread contact and traction. I could be wrong , its like deflating tires when rock crawling

[@jamesdrumwright7591]

Do you by chance have an estimated MSRP for Vinny and all his attachments?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I do not...unfortunately. I can’t keep it all in my head. There are 4 engine choices, so significant differences in prices there. Then there are options required on Vinny to run some of the attachments. You can call the company to get that information. Of course your dealer will get you the final selling prices, but you can learn what options are required, and get the overall configuration setup by calling Ventrac. Make sense?

[@jamesdrumwright7591]

@@TractorTimewithTim yes it does. I was just curious as to how much you had tied up with it in the way of attachments .
