Josh I wish I’d have seen this a few years ago. I purchased a zero turn for my place. I’m now looking for someone to till up a garden for me. If I had that I wouldn’t have to worry about asking anyone! Love it!!
You are probably 1 of top 5 most helpful, relatable and fun homesteading/farming channels out there! Thanks for each awesome topic!! I have to buy or lease one in the future. Added yet another one of your videos to my Channel for others. 😉
Very slick little tractor!Truely the Little tractor than could!Like how the tools mount up front so you can clearly see what you are doing!Does a LOT for something compact!
I think every farmer needs a machine like that. That thing is handy as a pocket on a shirt and looks like it’s set up for all day working. Thanks for showing us
That Ventrac is a pretty awesome machine, it's a real workhorse, no doubt about it! Pretty cool little tractor, keep up the great work Josh, love your videos!
thanks for the honest review of the ventrac ive always tried to find honest reviews of them but cant find any... ive made my mind... I WANT ONE I NEED ONE keep up the good work
I'm a Ventrac owner for over 12 years and I now have 2 tractors and 13 attachments. What started out as a hobby turned into a successful business for us.
I have been a fan of the Ventrac for several years. I grew up using the old Gravelys which were tougher than nails, The Ventrac is a modern and more user friendly peice of equipment than the old Gravely and just as tough. I will be buying a Ventrac for my ranch later this year. Thanks for the great video, Paul
The rockdust looks great next to the carport! Ventrac is kickin some butt on the farm!! That gulley really is fixed up now. Ya can't even tell that it was washed out anymore! That looks great. Ventrac on the job, really does handle the work. Good video sir!
Great video Josh and great tractor . Few years ago I bought a KUBOTA BX to help maintain our 5 acres mainly all lawn , we used to farm many years ago . Like yourself the Kubota is the most universal machine I've ever bought I'm always doing something with it , has the 60inch mid mount mowing deck , front loader and back hoe. Saves my back a lot of work . Good equipment makes life easier. Keep up the good work and take care mate .
I used to build deliver and service Ventracs in Western North Carolina, I miss it! Great video man. Be sure to keep the inner tires at 10 psi and the outter duels at 5, grease the belly bar and articulating cylinder. Take care! -Steve
You know we love you man, and love the vids. One of the things we all love is your honesty. Cost man, you have always been good about giving us the skinny. How does it compare, etc.
"Sometimes things break on the farm". You sound like my farmhand, Josh. He always says "It broke". Can't seem to differentiate between operator error and breakage from wear and tear. The buck stops with the guy who had his head in the clouds. Love that little tractor. Might trade my 5055E for one like that.
lol Mighty Mighty BossTrac lol....I love it....gonna put all these suggestions to a vote on Wednesday's live stream between 7p and 8p after I get my work done
Another great video brother. It's amazing how satisfying it is to watch yard/farm machinery work lol As far as a name for that lil tractor "Honey Badger "
We have Steiners on our family farm (There essentially the same tractor) The people that own Ventrac used to own Steiner but they soled the company. Just like yours they are very tough machines!
Tractor Time with Tim went to the factory and showed how they're put together. My biggest downside to them is how everything connects. Proprietary accessories are costly, not to mention 3 point has been around forever. I can see if you had the bank roll to purchase one and all the attachments, go for it. Another plus is the roll over rate the ventrac has over a conventional tractor.
Whenever you are ready to disconnect the hydraulics power down and move the hydraulic lever that will release the pressure in the line and you will be able to connect the lines. I had same experience as you had when we got our Ventrac from the factory. Ventrac actually has a video about this on their website. I guess people at dealerships don’t always know this. If you don’t do that you will have to loosen a line to release the pressure. Enjoying your work and enthusiasm.
That ventrac is a great little tractor. Would have like to have one of those when I was a landscaper 30 yrs ago. Take that old straw you scrapped up and put it over that wash area you filled. Then take the seed drill and run that over a few times (with some seed of course). That composting straw should really make that area pop and will help hold the seed down and keep the moisture in. Just a thought I had unless you had other plans for the old straw.
Hey great job!! You inspire me and I hope I can grow up to have the same work ethic and skill as you. You also bring me joy with many of the things you do. I really appreciate it man thanks
Great Job! I’m thinking of using that exact same carport cover in between two shipping containers here at Twisted Pines. Always learn something every video I watch. Thanks.
That's because only golf courses and governments can afford them, on the public's dime, of course. Don't get me wrong, they're neat little machines. However, they are way overpriced for what they are, and what they can and cannot do.
I believe you will get really good at fixing tires. FEL bucket is kind of useless with no dumping height. The rake and brush mower attachment appears to work really well. Looking forward to seeing the lawn mower attachment at work
So basically the Ventrac is a small Ditch Witch trencher converted into a tractor... Great idea, I plowed in and trenched in many service lines with a trencher about the same size when I worked with a Natural Gas company, those little things would go anywhere and were rock solid!!!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer pretty much the same machine, look them up, great idea someone finally took this concept to something that can be used for something other than utility construction, I spent 18 years running one and see very little difference between the two, other than attachments on the front instead of a trencher!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer will do, it is just ubelievable how much this resembles a small plow/trencher, ((which is a good thing, those things are bad to the bone) if they were bigger I would consider one, but way to small for my application sadly, because I would lve to have one! WOOOOOO Hope you guys are doing good!
I live on a farm too and I don't leave my fuel pump handle hanging off the side of the truck... Why don't you just turn the pump so the handle isn't hanging off the truck like everyone else?
The Ventrac would probably suit us well. We are referred to as "Hobby-Farmers" because we have less than 20 acres. Would work well in the orchard where a tractor doesn't work with the amount of rain we've get. I think leasing one is the best way to find out if it suits one's needs. I agree with Honey Badger for a name.
They are a great machine. I purchased two last year, had them running 8hr a day five days a week with the contour decks and edger. Just a heads up when you are running a deck mover watch when letting the deck tilt up you will go through that front belt because the pullies are fixed in their positions..
I have a 1960's version of a tractor like the Ventrac, Ebro A30L, had 3, sold one, one for parts and one under process of restoring. They are great for small areas like inside of tunnel greenhoses or in viñards and orchards. Another one is a Pascual from 18 to 90hp, 2 or 4 wheels with traction to all wheels. I would love to be able to afford a ventrac as i know how usefull my Ebro is.
Josh, the Tires are called HDAP .( Heavy Duty All Purpose ). They are NOT "Turf" tires. They are as you say excellent for this tractors duties on a lawn or field.
Sure beats a rake and shovel... lol Nice to have your brush-hog in the front where you can see what you're doing without craning your head around all day. 24 HP Diesel is alot of power. Impressed.
Ventrac makes the best promo videos I have ever seen. Makes you want one with every available attachment for sure.

Glad to see you got your own Ventrac. Congratulations!

I love my Ventrac. Do not know how I could handle our farm without it.
I love my 4200 turbo diesel. Have a blade and two 72 inch mower decks. Have a 200. Acre farm. Love it, couldn’t go without it.
Name it "The Honey Badger" ! ! Cause the Honey Badger don't PLAY ! ! !
Honey badger don't give a shit!!

Good for you Josh. Buying land, building jeeps, leasing ventrac, RUclips, all on the side. Awesome man. Whoooo.
Josh the ventrac is a awesome piece of machinery that you are going to find many uses for be safe .thanks for the great videos.

Great video. I use a JD 3020 with a loader and bush hog for many of those chores.
Wow hat Ventrac is the Macdaddy of farm machines!! Keep these awesome videos coming.
looks good, great music, love how the dogs just sit back and watch all that your doing.
Look for a used Ventrak now to add to my little clearing company. Great job, man.
Great little tractors for sure....working it again today...gonna put the 3pt tiller up against the Ventrac tiller!
owning a fancy lawnmower... fun. Owning a fancy lawnmower that the wife will use... Priceless.
That Ventrac seems like a sturdy, reliable, tractor. Great review, keep the vlogs coming.
I think that's an awesome addition to your farm Josh.
Bad ass tough machine.
Wow! That thing is a beast!
I love these tractors... We have the early version when they were called "Steiner" So versatile and fun. The snow blower is an awesome attachment too.
6'5", you big old boy. I know!! Call it The Ventrac!®! Nobody ever thought of that name!
Evidently getting bigger by the day judging by may pants getting tighter bhahahha
Call the Ventrac “Mighty Mower”! Loved the music in the vid by the way!
lol Mighty Mighty BossTrac lol....I love it....gonna put all these suggestions to a vote on Wednesday's live stream between 7p and 8p after I get my work done
Hey Josh good video and you're doing a good job there on your farm it looks good and I can't wait for the next video because I look forward to it
Thanks Scott!
Stoney Ridge Farmer hey you're welcome Josh
Hi...... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍
I love ventrac! best episode of stoney ridge ever..show me more!
The farm is looking awesome . Well worth the hard work . Nothing better than the self worth of transforming something . Well done be proud 👍👍
Woah.....Ventrac is a chewer.....ripped one by one.....good thought Josh.....can't wait to see extended shelter for tools to keep....Woooo.....
The Honey Badger. is my vote also.
Another great video brother. It's amazing how satisfying it is to watch yard/farm machinery work lol
As far as a name for that lil tractor "Honey Badger "
Impressive machine. You already gave it a good name “The Lil’ Beast”.
A big kid with a new toy.
You & the Ventrak did an awesome job Josh!
That's a bit more rock dust that a million gardens will ever need Josh!
Looks like Josh is HAVING A GOOD TIME !!!

Nice Josh! That's the stoney Ridge Badger for sure!!
LOL Good stuff!
that machine is perfect for what your doing, i want one. great video josh wooo
Man! What a work horse! another great video. Makes me want to get a Ventrac for our place.
The little mower that could. Lot of possibilities for the extra property.
Tat used the offset mower to mow the edge of creeks and around a pond to eliminate small trees and weeds.
Awesome video and an awesome compact tractor. Thanks for the review.

How much do they run!
@@AnnieFarmerFarm they start in the mid 20k range and go up with options. Conventional tractor is cheaper
I priced the unit out of mobile Al with a blower, mower, bucket and brush cutter and it was nearly 40,000.
@@offrodnolefmr7445Eck! Ya to much for me, But when I become rich and famous! lol
@@AnnieFarmerFarm Yup. I can see municipalities, golf courses and schools possibly having these. The average consumer not so much.

May i ask how big is your land (in acres)?
200ish

Dang that made it look clean as a wistle dang good job
Love the new tractor and love the vids man
Keep up the amazing great hard work
It looks amazing (both the Ventrac and the places you used it)😃
That new driveway allmost looks better then poured concrete good idea josh
Those are made about 20 miles from me in Orrville. The Steiner brothers are great engineers and pretty cool dudes.
Enjoyed the music as well as the video, thanks for sharing!!!

That is one of the best little tractors to have.It is Super Versatile and many liyylr government units and golf courses love them.
That's because only golf courses and governments can afford them, on the public's dime, of course. Don't get me wrong, they're neat little machines. However, they are way overpriced for what they are, and what they can and cannot do.
If I though like that I would have never own Kenworth trucks. I would have purchase cheaper crap.
Great work, Josh
YOU HAVE TO CALL THAT VENTRAC THE BBB--BRUSH BEAST BUSTER A VERY NICE MACHINE
lol...it sure beats up the brush ....wait till ya see saturday's vid!

Formula Firebird tires are only rated for 7# air pressure. Which tells you why they are so kind to the turf.
