Did I just see that cut trees down? 😯
yeah ventracs are strong powerful machines wich ven trac is partnered with kubota
@@michaelmactavish1728 got my interest for sure
@@FarmallFanatic yeah with the factory heated and ac fully loaded cab on the ven tracs and all 30 attachments here are cost $77,000 for everything and holder c992 is $150,000 just for the tractor alone wich rediculas
@@michaelmactavish1728 agree
@@FarmallFanatic my town had issues on the c992 holder seince brand new and to change the engine oil have to raise the dump bed up .,take sides off and rear tire and spacers to get at the filter wich is poor design
Owning 3 tractors already, my wife said no to a 4th. That Ventrac is an attractive little machine, every video selling me a little more on it.
I'm going to miss her.
bhahhaha....when you put her on the ventrac...that's when she'll be sold...that thing is so fun!
It's wiser to ask for forgiveness than permission
We just got into farming. We currently have 2 tractors. I want 50
Hey shoutout to all the farmers out there workin' hard to make sure we have plenty of food to eat and milk to drink! 🌽 🐄 🇺🇲
Reminder to people who own fields, mow at least once a year. Clearing brush is much more work than cutting weedy grass.
yep...very good point...at the very least mow once every 2 seasons...this was probably 5 years of growth...maybe 6
Haha the house we bought the pasture had not been mowed in I'm guessing over ten years. 2 years later I'm still trying to get the weeds u see control
Tell me about it.
Late March and Late September is my favorite time to cut the brush it makes a quick job when it's only knee high
Well.....Ventrac should sponsor you. Your channel is pretty much the reason I bought one!
I love sitting in my recliner watching you work hard. Does my heart good.
As someone who is looking to clear 20 acres of brush with a weed eater and a chainsaw this looks like heaven
amen!
Mate, I’d at least get a ride on mower, even a second hand one for a thousand bucks.
Heck, even a walk-behind self-propelled DR brush mower would be a step up to how you are doing it. Mustie1 just did a video on his channel where he bought one of them from an estate sale for 500 bucks used.
Just get some pigs! ;o)
The Australian pioneers tried pigs to clear land but it did not work. The pigs ran away into the bush and became feral.
Watch the movie Razorback. It will show why we should not use pigs to clear the land.
We cut 4 in material with our batwing bushhog and then we bring the skidsteer if its any bigger it cuts up to 10 in material. Its a neat machine know doubt but watching how it cuts the saplings its really just a lawnmower a heavy duty one. Those pines are very easy cutting to our mower on the skidsteer it will cut tons of them without even bogging.
Yep...it's most certainly not a skid steer...but far from a lawn mower too. We love the little ventrac...of course you can bring in a skid loader and a mulcher and do this too....however why waste the money when the ventrac can do most of the work. Remember it's only 24hp....the most used machine on our property
Hey Josh, Also check the bearings of the pulleys when you swap the central pulley! Those bearings take a lot off abuse from the pulleys and are reasons why one off the pulleys fail time after time! A quick inspection off the bearings everytime keeps you running! You are doing a great job!
That sucker ate trees I'd be very hesitant to tangle with on my 1025R! Well crud, gotta start saving again....
The Ventrac is just like a Honey Badger cleaning up that over grown field. NICE!!!
Wow that machine is awesome. It just eats up brush. What a difference it’s made. You got to have the right machine for the job and that’s some machine. Woooo 👍🏻
Thank you so much for carrying us along with you. You are one of the main reasons I just bought a Ventrac 4500Z, Tough Cut, Power Rake and Power Bucket with a Grapple. Here in North Alabama, I am on the top of a mountain with a 360 degree view. So needed something that will handle the Kudzu on 30 degree slopes. No problem! This winter I will be tackling a lot of large privet and saplings as I make more trails around this 13 acres. My best and prayers to you and Mrs Stoney Ridge. Woooo !
I think you can attest to the usefulness of this little machine! It's just a joy to ride!
Great demonstration of what the equipment can do.
In my opinion you should take a skid steer with brush cutter to mow down the big stuff and come back thru with your ventrac. I’m sure brush cutting has to be hell on that ventrac
yep...but I don't have one...best idea is a forestry mulcher for a day!!
Dang! I knew Vintracs were awesome but that right there just rocks! I never thought a belt driven cutter would do such work!
It really is an awesome piece of machinary
Nice job! This is a good example for Ventrac to invest the time into developing a drum mulcher attachment and it would have made quicker work of that field. Finished field still looks good!
Good Morning Josh,just watch your vid on your new born calf.so awesome to watch them,how they bind.i have worked on many area farms here in Vt.always enjoy when a new born came into the world.so awesome.
There’s a grease fitting on the side of each of the blade spindles under the deck as well
That really is one awesome machine.
They should sponser you..
Have a good evening 🌻🌻🌻
Man I wish they would sponsor you, this is fantastic commercial for them, everytime you show that lil beast you have nothing but great things to say about it. Another great video as always.
We've done some work in the past...like the factory tour. My wife's family lives near the factory...and we might re-establish a relationship again in the future...but for now...I'll keep right on using it. We leased it for a year and decided to buy it
Not being sponsored has value. Any endorsement given has more worth.
This machine would benefit from a mulching implement for this sort of work.
Mowing & clearing out front is clearly superior.
Everything you do is just a fun time josh.that’s the best way to check out your equipment know what it can handle,fix it and go back to work my friend. Great job
That little machine sure can handle some big stuff. Good work. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful land. That tractor was awesome! For something so small it sure does a big job.👍❤
I love watching the Ventrac at work. It is such an awesome little machine. Got it on the wishlist - maybe in a couple years 🤞
I could have used a Ventrac yesterday! I spent the afternoon in 98 degree heat mowing brush and weeds with a 34" two wheeled walk behind field and brush mower on ruff terrain. By the time I had finished, I couldn't even hold the front end up off of the gravel to get it back to the shed. The local Ventrac dealer is going to bring one out to demo it on my farm before the end of the month. Another timely video, thanks.
Hit that like button people how much more can one person do when helping others your doing a awesome job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hi...... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍
Have always loved Ventracs
Nice!
That is one awesome machine Josh. What a difference a day of work makes. It is looking great. Looking forward to the next video.
Really enjoy watching your video
That thing is a beast! You were cutting stuff I might shy away from with my skid steer bush hog. Thanks for the video and not holding back.
Right on
I think the Ventrac is a great tractor. The only draw backs for me that you can't run a three point chipper, backhoe and there cab's don't have ac. I have lung issues so when it is hot and humid I am limited to the house I love being outdoors. I have a lot more of my land to clear to get my hobby farm started. I love your videos.
I believe the 'Steiner' chipper will work on the front of the Ventrac. I've seen some used one's out there on Steiner/Ventrac FB groups.
You should look at Italian tractors with the reversible driver console. In Australia at least the smaller tractors, rated at around 40HP, cost around the same as a Ventrac. However the Italian tractors have a PTO and linkage.
Companies like BCS, Antonio Carraro , AGT and Ferrari make these tractors.
@@kdegraa I have looked at them a little bit and think that they are cool. One of these days I would like to see if I can get on a company website to see if I can build it the way I want one if not I will probably be getting a hydro compact tractor.
Very impressive for sure, especially around the 10:08 mark. Pretty cool what smaller equipment can get done.
I like the rip them out of the ground method
I think you forgot a few grease location on the Ventrac itself. Most important is the grease fitting on the oscillating point. I guess I should add that I have a Ventrac 4500Z - just pointing out what they said fails the most as the guy that dropped it off was also the shop tech for the Ventrac's. I have 35+ degree hills and nothing can climbing them like the Ventrac.
I'm not talking about a full service on the Ventrac...just prepping the mower deck. Service on all moving parts is eery 50 hours on the machine...100 hours on then engine oil...ect... I just showed ya how to lube up the mowing deck brotha
Defiantly a beast of a machine.
Those bigger trees will be good for buck scrapes 👍
yep...might not be a bad idea to leave a couple cedars out there....have you ever heard of a "TREECOY"....a decoy rub tree stuck out in a pasture? Pretty cool concept!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer yep...had two big bucks come and tear it up lol
I bust spindles periodically. They are made of potmetal and designed to bust so you don’t shatter blades or something worse.
That edge looks really good for Fall food plots for deer. All your country looks good for white tail!
Awesome
It's actually only rated for 1" material so that was definitely impressive.
Every time I watch your videos, I am inspired by your hardwork and determination to make your farm become a success! Also, I am retired from the US Army and can see the military work ethic in you. I came from a tobacco farming family (on my mother's side) family in Jacksonville, NC. Over the years, my younger generation of cousins did not follow their forefathers and carry on the family traditions. Farming is a tough career path, but hats off to those who pursue their dreams like you to provide for your family. Much success to you in the future.
Wow, what a difference. Looks great so far. That little machine can do the job. I guess you get some of the credit too.. 🌝
Looks awesome 👏
I’m awed by the size of brush this machine clears!
You sir are such an inspiration. I own 20 acres that I currently have no access to (right of way issues) that was "cut" in the 30s, so lots of trees and brush to get thru once I get access. Your videos are inspiring me and I want to get started!!!
Josh you're a great salesman for Ventrac awesome little tractor
Ya know, I got to thinking about that little brush cutter. It seems robust enough to fab up a "Bull Bar" around the front casters to help push those shrubs over without busting up the casters or bending up the mouth of the cutter. Food for thought?
Hey Josh thank you for the video I enjoyed it and you did an excellent job there and look so nice and that's what it's about when you break things it's about learning what you can do with it
wow,amazing machine,works awesome
yeah the ven tracs great for farming,lawn care,town and city maintance machine and cheaper then $150,000 holder c992
Looks great what a difference.. pushing the envelope on equipment is the only way to find out real capability
Throw the skid steer with your grapple on the trailer and you'll have the perfect combo for that job. Looking great!!
Keep the faith brother!!! You make some of the best videos
That little machine is awesome
Josh good job and great machine.
👍❤️ 👍 ❤️ 👍 ❤️ 👍 Go to Tractor Time with Tim and check out the fan he has mounted to the underside out of the cab on his tractor , he says it keeps him pretty cool on these hot sunny dry days 😎 👍 👍🏽 👍 👍🏽
Doing a great job 👍
If HAVE A FUN DAY JOSH
Hey Josh 🇺🇸 that will do the job WOOOOOO!🇺🇸🇺🇸
Ventrac is indeed a great machine, However, for a project like this a brush cutter for the skid steer is the tool to have. You'd have cleared the brush to "pasture mulch" in a quarter of the time spent with the Ventrac. MTL and SkidPro are my preferred brands, but others do the job as well.
That is an awesome machine. What a great help that is. Your work on it is really great.
Nice machinery
That is one hell of a machine
Sure wish I could spend a week with yall... looking to set up a smaller parcel near your Farm around 20-30 acres with house, barn/shop and some producing acreage and really like your approach... would be happy to just farmhand for ya even... lol...
I've always wondered what you do in your spare time😃
bhahhaha spare time
Love the bluegrass music! CH
Wow....you are cutting nice established maple and pine trees! I would cry if that were my land!
Nope....those are Gum trees and brushy yellow pines....if you neglected your land around here you'd have these all over everywhere. No Maples were harmed in the making of this video lol....there is a stand of Loblolly pine just next to this pasture....the pines I'm cutting are what we call Virginia pine or scrub pine...they'll take over the edges of pastures and are very invasive...those are also blackerry bushes too! A plant is a weed if it's in a place it does not belong...forest belongs in the forest...pasture belongs in the pasture my friend
Great job. Looks good. Great video
That field looks amazing what you’ve already done to it
you did a good job
Nice job Josh I bet the owner liked how nice his land looked after you got done
Man, thanks for this video... thinking about a Ventrac for our farm and was curious about what the rough cut could actually do... helped me a lot.
the tough cut is great for mowing pastures and heavy brush
I think you should mount a portable 12v fan that can blow down on you in the hot weather. I realize that it isn't the same as a/c, but a good breeze blowing on you would make a huge difference.
When you do stuff like this could ya show a befor and after of the blades to see how they held up. Great jobs cleaning up
Oh...you'll see me working on the deck...I got into a stump and had some damage
I use a farmall super a with a 4ft bushhog and you’ll be surprised how big of trees iv taken down with it .it has its limits but that 13 hp has taken some big saplings down at my hunting camp
You about needed a forestry mower for the skid steer. I hope that part won't cost you more than what you're getting for the clearing of the land. That's usually my luck. Usually, it's when I'm doing a favor for a friend and I cost myself thousands of dollars. Owning a lot of equipment is not for the faint of heart, I always seem to be spending money constantly, but when you have a fleet of trucks and grading and farm equipment it gets costly. LOL That's why I bought my own Napa Store. If you can't beat um, join em. Keep up the good work, don't get frustrated I know some days things will get you down. Love to see another North Carolina boy doing good. See ya.
ah....it's a $25 part...no biggie....finding the time to make the repair...now that's the challenge bhahahha..we'll film the repairs
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Keep up the hard work Josh, You just have to go back and look at your old videos to see your progress. That should make you happy to see the progress.
110 today in California Central Valley. I put up umbrellas over my garden and in front of a couple of windows.
I think their flail cutter is a wonder. This is great but light for some things. Nice job.
Love the ventrac awesome machine
😀😎 ❤️that blue grass music, Josh! Keep'em coming. Jim 👍👍🚜✝⚜✌️☮🇺🇸
What a transformation. Whooooooo!!
Wow that thing is a monster
HAVE FUN JOSH
Incredible machine !! Good job
Thanks a lot!
Great video dude! I knew when I saw you cutting down 3 to 4" trees there would be some wrench time involved!!! Good thing that they parts are reasonable and it is easy to work on. Love my Ventrac and have taken it in some places that no other machine could go.
You should do a show on the camera on maintenance and repair costs. A lot of us want to be farmers and homesteaders that want to go get all this equipment know how much it costs but before I got to give John Deere $38,000 it would probably be a good idea to know how much it’s gonna cost me a year to maintain and repair all of that. Lol
Aloha from Kauai! Wooooo!!!
That was nice to see clearing land
I’m surprised it could take out so much of that brush.impressive
If you are going to do clear land like that, you should check into a forestry mulched for your skid steer?
will have to say that im quite impressed with it
Great video! Always looking forward to new videos when you post them
Now you are getting some profit on your Toys'.... Nice, great job!
I think you missed 3 grease zerk fittings on the tough cut deck. I thought I was too tough on mine, but you take the cake.
now let me enlighten ya brotha....it's a sealed bearing!! So where does the grease go? Toured the factory..bearings on the deck are totally sealed lol
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer @Stoney Ridge Farmer I have not had the bearings out of a Ventrac spindle yet, but my bet is that they are 2RS design or maybe bottom metal sheild and top Rubber Shield (plastic sheild). The oil of the grease in these :sealed bearngs does get used-up as a volitile component, leaving thickner as almost a cake-like crud. The plastic shields (you call seals) will allow pressurized grease to enter and reflesh the bearing. Another example is the 2RS bearing of your power take=off sheeve on the power unit. It has no zerk fitted incasement and WILL dry-out. Mine was dry as a popcorm fart at 800 hours, but not yet damaged. I removed one shield to clean and repack; going strong. Eventually the bearings wear-out regardless of care and are not very expensive and not difficult to replace.
Great job sorry to see it broke cant wait for the next video 👍
When ya put something to work...anything mechanical will eventually fail...I've got a darn barn full of machines needing love lol
At my brother's house in England he needed a permit to trim a tree in his backyard, which did not even overhang the neighbors property. Such bureaucracy is a way of life over there.
I thank my lucky stars I live in the USA on my 5 acres in the mountains where I can hitch up the Brush Hog and don't have to get permission to clean up brush.
sounds like California too-uggh
I’d just cut what needed cutting & if the inspector asked me I’d just say I don’t know what happened.
Thank goodness for shear pins. I've beat the hell out of my bush hog, but it's a tank, and takes it. I just replace the shear pin in the drive shaft once in a while.
I'd been stung by a hundred red wasps if I had mowed stuff like that in Florida. That machine does an excellent job to be so small.
All the stuff must be up-to-date on your farm
that you’re going over there
yeah right! Just trying to help a friend
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Yep, the old, "You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" deal.
I have a suggestion for a new toy.......cab tractor with AC...lol. Stay hydrated my friend.
