    Thanks for doing that. You told me before to get mine. When you stopped, and then backed up the hill, amazing . I'm sold. Yes you could possibly cut some with a zero, but skidding and spinning.if you get a zero pointed the least bit downhill. You're going to the bottom, whether through a fence a pond or just death.

    I mow a hill like this at two of my properties with a John Deere zero but it ruins the grass sometimes, digs ruts into the turf. I only use the zero if I'm in a rush but it's scary if you do not know how to run it on hills like that. But I break out the 48 walk behind usually with a sulky and mow it no problem. I wish I could afford a ventrac but it's not in the books right now. Hopefully one day. Keep up the great work!

    Hey Pete, quick question, have you had any problems with your Ventrac? Mine has been in the shop more than any of my other equipment. everything from bearings,axle seals to bad casting housings. I DO NOT abuse my equipment and follow all recommendations in the manual. Just wondering from a Ventrac Operator. Thanks bud..

    My "pucker factor" would really kick in going up the hill. For me, going up a hill, whether in a skid steer, tractor or Ventrac with the risk of flipping over backwards is a way worse feeling then driving down the hill. I could really use a Ventrac on my property. :-) Thanks for the video!!

  • @MyUsernameIsGuess
    @MyUsernameIsGuess 5 лет назад

    I wondered about this. There is an old mansion in my area with maybe 4 acres of clear front lawn. The tough part is that it is ALL about 30 degrees of tilt from the house down to the road. Is it considered unsafe to mow a 30 degree hill across the face as opposed to going up or down the hill? It looked like the tractor was crabbing on you. The tractor was lower than the cutter it was pushing. Great vid!!!

    I was on a school tour at ventrac when you were there. I actually saw you in factory when I was there. You were up on a catwalk/balcony overlooking the 4500 assembly line. I saw you filming and I was hoping that you would put that part in the video but you didn’t.

    Doesn't look like the deck is turned on, takes considerable power from the motor to turn blades and this affects steep hill performance.

    I have exact same Ventrac & can tell you that 30° always looks like nothing on film. It's very frustrating. Because unless you are in the seat of a Ventrac on one, you will not be able to understand. I have modified Scag hydro walkbehinds that can do 25° with a very experienced operator. Can even do 30° if ground conditions are perfect, but the Ventrac can have a rookie on it in any weather & most of all that operator is safe at all times longer n the Ventrac.
