Wow! That is an incredible feat to be able to drive a Ventrac remotely! However i must say that i do enjoy the thrill of 30% slope mowing from the driver seat. These machines are excellent at what they do. Looking forward to what comes next
Probably never. The Ventrac just doesn't have enough power to run that kind of attachment. If they built a tractor with high enough horsepower to run one, they would have to redesign every single attachment they make to handle the stress of the increase in power.
@@brandonpaul5712 They have mini-stand-on skid steers that you can get forestry mulchers for and they are about 25-30 hp units. You are probably correct, I don't have big hopes either that they can figure out the details, but why not challenge them? It would be nice if they had one.
@@brandonpaul5712 exactly....i actually watched this with a little thought that this would be a 45hp machine. Ventracs are a severely underpowered machine. I've owned 4 of them.
As much as I like the belts for driving attachments, it is the weak link in adding more HP. A mechanical engineer told me that a 5V belt is only rated at 14 HP. I'm sure they are pushing that limit and if you over feed any attachment, you have to listen for the slip. Kinda proves his opinion.
Great concept but here's something: add a gps. One day we should be able to map out properties, save them in a bank, and click a button to watch it go from the saved property.
Should put a rear facing camera and have it where you can go from front to rear with a button, and keep the mechanical controls for the comfort and better feel for the tractor. What’s the MSRP for one in Canada without attachments?
I'm curious to see how the 3 point controls are operated. As far as "advantages" of the RC system over being operated on the seat, I'm only seeing a slight difference in a lower center of gravity without an operator on the machine. Aside from that, the slope capabilities should be the same, right? What is the slope rating of the new machine with or without an operator?
So, I sell these, the slope rating is unchanged. they are capped out by the engine slope requirements. Only real option is improve the rating, is to go to a battery option.
very cool idea. Without additional traction of some kind I don't know why I would get off it except maybe because of cold weather. I feel totally safe on any terrain. And if I think I'm at risk on the machine then the I think the machine is at risk, and no way I'm taking a chance on that with a 70K investment. what I'm waiting for is the all-electric ventrac!
@@robertsmida9601several reasons. One of ventrac’s biggest limitations is power. Electric motors would solve that. Electricity is way cheaper than gas which would significantly reduce the cost of operation. Electric motors are less complex and do not require as much maintenance. Most of my uses are in 2 hour or fewer sessions and local on my property so charging could easily occur at about any time. It would also be much quieter. These would be my reasons, which have nothing to do with political ideologies, but rather practical use
I think this is great if no operator allows for a better slope rating. But since nothing was mentioned about that, I am assuming that the slope rating doesn’t change? How about getting that joystick on a regular drive model?
@@codeyknepper5651 The slope rating may not change for liability reasons, but every operator will test its limits and I’m sure it can exceed what can be done with an operator onboard. I would add every weight possible however!
I am not sure I understand the benefit. Is it because you are operating it in conditions that would be unsafe for an operator to be on the machine? I would think it would make more sense for you to make it programable. For example, the operator would mow the perimeter of an area and have the Ventrac then mow everything inside that perimeter without any further human intervention.
Is there a dead-man switch on the remote? If the remote operator would become in-capacitated, does the Ventrac continue on indefinitely and possibly do property damage or run into a lake?
@thehailmaryproject8949 Thanks for the comment. The 45RC is an addition to our lineup, not a replacement. The 4520 you know and love with the attachments will be available as you know them! Thanks! Zach with Ventrac
This would be helpful for extreme hills where you’re not comfortable being on the machine but that’s about it. I would rather see a little larger footwell with room for a foot pedal like John deer uses on their compact tractors, a separate pedal for forward and reverse would be awesome.
Is slope performance for RC model same as for regular ones? As I understand RC should be used on very steep terrains where it is dangerous for operator to sit and manuver?
Be nice to see this in the Boating World for taking on or off a Boat Trailer and docking/undocking but given how The AI is now en route this is definitely a good start absolutely 😊😊
I really can't think of a situation that having the remote control allows you to operate on any terrain that a experienced operator couldn't. If the machines gonna roll over its gonna roll over if you're on it or not. I love Ven Trac, They are amazing. I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm honestly curious.

Too cool guys, you outdid yourselves with this one!
Are you going to get this one stuck too? 😂
Every dam in the world would benefit from this!
Mannnnn imagine snow blowing your property from the comfort of inside your house 😂
For that kind of price. You could pay someone else to do the snow blowing
@@toddgoodlin2630 yeah but it wouldn’t be as fun
$62.000+ !!!😮😮😮
Awesome! That is a great machine, thank you for posting 😀
When are you guys going to come out with a forestry mulcher attachment. The tough-cut just doesn't cut it.
I think a little drum mulcher would be a really smart move

Can we get a SDLA lever upgrade like that for the 4500

1:13 should be using a push mower.

RC is used by other manufacturers as well and only for mowing machines. If with Ventrac you can use RC for all attachments it is good upgrade.
Is there a dead-man switch on the remote? If the remote operator would become in-capacitated, does the Ventrac continue on indefinitely and possibly do property damage or run into a lake?
Not for me, I'm hopeful the 4520 and its attachments stay available. I like the simplicity of Ventrac, this seams its going in a different direction.

Are you saying this will allow the machine to operate beyond recommended slope guidelines?
This would be helpful for extreme hills where you’re not comfortable being on the machine but that’s about it. I would rather see a little larger footwell with room for a foot pedal like John deer uses on their compact tractors, a separate pedal for forward and reverse would be awesome.

How much is this piece and do you have an agent in Saudi Arabia or one of the Gulf countries
Nice unit but $60k plus and then you still have to buy attachments? I wish you the best but I can’t see this going anywhere.
Be nice to see this in the Boating World for taking on or off a Boat Trailer and docking/undocking but given how The AI is now en route this is definitely a good start absolutely 😊😊
Is the remote controller and digital display water proof?
This would be the perfect tractor if they gave us an option of no steering wheel with dual joystick controls
I guess you're going to have to go on other video channels a tractor time with Tim dirt perfect that way you can show their audience your new machine
Ya ya ya ... How much?
Can you guys make a video of installing and removing the cab for the ventrac?
I wonder if y’all are gonna make something that will cut down trees
I don't understand. I have never heard or seen a single person ask for this. As johnevans6053 mentioned, forestry mulcher attachment please!
I really can't think of a situation that having the remote control allows you to operate on any terrain that a experienced operator couldn't. If the machines gonna roll over its gonna roll over if you're on it or not.
I love Ven Trac, They are amazing. I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm honestly curious.
The main reason would be the operator doesn't get injured in the roll over in that instance.
Holy crap. $62k ?!? My Tesla cost $20k less and can drive itself.
Your Tesla doesn’t have mower attachments.
Your Tesla cant be used a bush hog.
@@_P0tat07_ my point is it’s $29k for a non rc ventrac. $33k to make it rc. That’s pure insanity.
80k
WOW, sounds like a deal, I’ll take 10 for that price!😂
Complete waste of R&D resources and money! Guess that's why we see a $60K+ price tag. Find a way to get 15-20 more HP
All of that technology equals higher price. How about making a ventrac for the average guy, affordable. !
