- Our Ventrac 4500Z has a broken hydraulic steering cylinder. These things are built like tanks but even a tank can get pushed too hard. I know exactly what I was doing when I broke it and I will be trying not to do that again, but I need to get it up and running because everything is growing like crazy around here. Fortunately the part was not too expensive. I had it up and running again for under $200.
Break Heart Orchard is a small farm that we are carving out of previously forested land.
We will be putting out videos on a weekly basis to document this journey as we build our own home and create our dream farm and Orchard Cidery. Check out our other videos and subscribe, to follow along on this adventure

Those welded bits that hold the nut are great, more designs should incorporate that
Agreed
Job well done!
Ventracs are unique machines, very capable. Due to the maintenance issues and available pto components, I opted for a used compact 4wd tractor and finish mower. I get golf course like cuts and saved a lot of cash.
If I was on flat ground I would just use my rotary cutter on the Kioti tractor and get a zero turn for finer cutting. The terrain here is challenging
Successful job well done xx❤❤
Good job, we just had to repair hydraulics on the excavator now the old dozer's fuel injection is messed up and just prior a new battery, starter and solenoid. UGH It sure gets old and just when the weather is nice enough to use the machines and then all this comes into play. Glad you got that done and Jafanna can mow! LOL You guys are so generous..LOL It for sure it takes two to even try to keep up. Good job and so thank ful it got fixed and you are talented enough to handle it . Have a great week!
Take care! 🙂
Hope you had a great 4th
Thanks. It was great. Cooked on tge grill and went fishing with my granddaughter.
well done x
Great job on the video! Filming repairs can be a royal pain, you made it very watchable!
Thank you. It took a lot longer to edit than I thought expected. I am sure that you can relate to that.

Hello Bonnie
No matter how much you like a person when they walk into your shop, your paying taxes, etc, to have and then the tools to work with are not cheap similar to say harbor freight tools. All said and done, you did save money doing it yourself.. it would of taken me maybe a little over ten minutes to do but parts and labor guide will give say point five .5 time to assess, do it and then clean up after the job... not easy being a mechanic and having to say charge a minimum of a half hour if your lucky as most now have a two hour minimum time plus parts mark up... yes... gravy for us to do one but so hard to face a customer
I love this take on repairs. Of course we all complain about the cost of a mechanic, yet the truth is you are paying for a skill set. That skill set feels like magic, but someone trained to earn it.
Proverbs 16:32
King James Version
32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. Gods blessings over you .
Sandwich bags and zip ties. just saying
Be cautious around hydraulics. Hydraulic injection injuries are no joke. Never use a bare hand to locate a pin hole leak. Thankfully in this case it was simply a cylinder seal and not a line.
Thank you very much for sharing be happy take care great job
It would be easier if you used a loader to lift up
Good afternoon Break Heart family, wow time for outside work
Just glad you could fix it yourself. Otherwise it would be costly.
Me too

These things are fucking junk
Ive cursed it a couple times but never called it junk
Looks like you need to sharpen some blades.
Its a tough cut mower. Those had actually just been sharpened. Maybe someday I’ll have a fine cut. But I have a lot of work yo do on the fields before I get there.
