- Our friend Brain helps take care of a cemetery that has a steep hill on one side that he can't mow with a zero-turn or tractor. Tractor Time with Tim helps out by using the Ventrac 4520 with Tough Cut mower (including dual wheels).

Always appreciate the neighborly and community support that you guys do. Happy Sunday 👍
Tim, I am Southeast Missouri. In this area active cemeteries are typically owned by funeral homes. However, there are a few (very few) active ones still associated with churches. However typically these congregations are older and upkeep suffers because of this. Also it is usually these older members that are placed there.
Much more common for older cemeteries, is again associated with churches, but neither are currently active, often the church building is no longer there. The least common is a family plot, often the surrounding land is no longer owned by the family snd often there is no family in the area. These last 2 groups are often overgrown and totally uncared for.
It is great to see that this one is taken care of and you helping to clear next to the field.
There is no other machine I know of that could do that!! That Ventrac 4520 is Fantastic!!
For $40K better do som'n
That Ventrac is a wonderful and capable machine! Best wishes.
Ole Vinny is a mighty little beast. Fun to watch you and Christy do ‘magic” with it. Blessings.
I found duals too obstructive on my steiner 430. Now I'm only using it for personal use but single with 3" spacers will do 95% of what i need. If it's too wet i can wait for drier weather, and there's nothing too steep for spacers on my current property.
I've also found that using the weight transfer springs and rear ballast really keeps the machine planted and going where I want it to on side hills.
Those dual wheels going on and off relatively easy is a great design in itself. If one needs something like the Ventrac it would certainly be worth the price.
Great video tim Vinnie sure does a great job on the slopes and thank you and Kristy or helping out the cemetery that really helped them out hopefully we get to see the power rake in action.
The slope looks much better. Vinny was perfect for the job.
Hey Tim, thank you again.
I know you have connections. Let me know if you get ahold of a dozer. And we can move some some dirt to make that mowable.. Yes the power rake could do the job. But one of your tractors and a dump trailer. With a dozer pushing grade would be awesome to do for this cemetery and for the people mowing..
Thank you again for your time and energy for our entertainment and education..
Shame on you Tim, you had the weight transfer lever in the 0 position, you are making Vinny look like he can't handle that little hill.😀😀
Looks like the mower wasn’t in float either. My front wheels never come off the ground.
A true artist with your machines. Thank you for sharing.
Gorgeous property. Ventrac is one competent piece of equipment. Perhaps one day I'll have one. Great job guys!
Wow, that was some steep terrain that you cut! Amazing video, thank you for posting 😀
That Ventrac is amazing!
Excellent result for the conditions!
Nice job guys. Looks much better!
I remember seeing these ventracs advertised ad-nauseum on youtube. They looked like quite the capable machine for being so compact.
Another wonderfully interesting & brilliant production. Love the history.
Part of my property in Florida had a fenced in area of a good size. It hadn't been mowed in years. The Live oak tree all the limbs were touching the ground. I started with a Cub cadet trimmer and it burnt up. So off I went to the stihl dealer and bought a 130R trimmer and working for a few days in the hot sun got the weeds down and they were up to my waist. I had a brand new Gravelly commercial zero turn mower but I wasn't sure what I might find and it was a good thing. One of the previous owners was a cop and that was where he kept his police dog and I found a metal bar with a log chain, which would have damaged my new mower. After getting rid of the bar and chain I could keep it mowed down. My property here in Missouri has been a challenge on it's own with all the junk laying everywhere.
Remarkable piece of equipment and operator.
Here in the Mid-South, cemeteries located out in counties the upkeep is usually lacking.
That is a nice rig.
Driving home a few days ago the New Jersey Turnpike Authority has purchased Vinnies to do the mowing very interesting. They are using the double wheels.
Great pictures of crabbing on a steep slope which doesn't have much height!
Thanks for sharing.
I sure like Vinny wish I could afford one. Great video Tim and Christy.
Nice job Tim!
It’s so hard to tell the topography from the video, but I wonder if you could adjust the grade from the edge of the road to the corn field and at least have a consistent slope? With the farmers permission and after the field is harvested of course. Great video and good luck!
Another fun video, Thank you. Oh that slope, I think I could see a little cheek flexing on your part there😅
Great video!
Thats a tractor and side flail job you did very well with what you had
All good!
This was impressive to watch. I'll admit I was worried for a while about the tipsiness becoming an issue.
sneezed a few times watching the mowing
The GOAT of all things tractors is at the again! When do you rest? How many videos do you work on weekly basis... I am impressed with you work ethic and your professionalism. I love Tractor Time with Tim, the channel and content. Please keep them!
2 long form per week.
Then some shorts in between.
In this case the hilly, billy, GOAT! God bless you two!
GREAT video, you wouldn't do this without the VENTRAC (VENNY)... Have a great weekend.. 😅😊
When the Ventrac starts crab walking on a steep slope, nudge the deck upwards to put more weight on the front wheels and the tractor will track much better.
Thats a mowing beast I have a bush hog that wouldn't do what that has done I would be breaking shear pins
Good Sunday morning
yeah thats a pro tool ... even with those wide tires that slide has to induce a pucker factor
Wow that's a wide mower deck to cut that thick heavy material.Ventrac handles well.
You should try the new RC mowers.
Be careful when you change those blades. They’re contaminated with poison ivy.
That is a lot of Mullen in the beginning. You should have harvested and sold it.
Always here for a Vinny episode. 😎 Would like to see the power rake as you suggest in that spot, too!
life is like mowing a cemetery, you never know what you are going to hit.
Tim. Some dirt work would be helpful for his mowing. It would be interesting for a video too. Also, check out Altoz zero turn mowers. They have tracked models that are quite stable on embankments, although they may not be a capable as Vinny. They also have a rough cut deck option that has chain guards and swinging blades like your bat wing mower. Neat zero turn mowers for those who need dedicated mowers. No, I don't have one, nor need one. I just think they have some great concepts. Todd
Steeper cutting than I would be comfortable with Tim.
Get a big sacrificial v belt and a piece of pipe to remove the dual
Or get this handy dual wheel tool. Good grief!
❤❤❤ greetings from Viet Nam ❤❤❤❤
Would it have been easier to do the really steep parts from top down, or that can be less controlled when you slide on the cut grass?
The church at the cemetery may be long gone but people are still dying to get in there.
Wonder if they make LSW single tires for that Machine.! 🤔
i am not sure the name of the fuzzy leaf plant but some people use the leafs as a poltice for pain , etc
Tim I have a friend from a city where I lived a few years ago that gas a youtube channel (mowing mostly). He has a Ventrac, and usually does steep areas up and down instead on running across the slope. I do not think he has duals for his.
Yes, definitely easier to mow slopes up and down. However, how could I do that in this area? Would take forever, assuming I could make the turn at the bottom without hitting corn.
you can get flail mowers on grasshopper mowers
I would love to find a decent used ventral to reclaim a piece of farmland we just acquired that hasn’t been touched in 15 plus years I thought about using a skid steer and a mulched but for my purposes I think the ventral might work better
Something we could help with?
good old browns wonder.
👍👍
Should attack the steep spots straight on back and forth. Would of did ez work with that ventrac
Yes, but woulda taken forever.
Was wondering, is that a finish mower or a brush style cutter?
Brush cutter.
I’m surprised the milkweed protection police didn’t shut you down.
Oh yea. If CZcams had known, they woulda sent out the brown shirts.
What size of a trailer do we need to keep the duel wheels on a little space on the trailer on the sides? Steve from WV
Say 75” inside the fenders.
Mine is about 72”. I love my narrow trailer, cept for this one instance.
Ok thanks
9:15 TRACTOR DRIFTING!
Courtney (GWT): Your tractor can tip over and kill you
Tim: Can't you see I'm drifting here?
Me and my family love watching your videos of farm equipment and how to use them that mower you are using in this video. Do they offer it in a diesel or is it just gas? Thanks you 😊
ventrac.com yes, a diesel is available. Only 24 hp.
@@TractorTimewithTim thank you
I bought a diesel with duals and chains,. Its a fantastic machine. I mow spoil banks on our reclaimed strip mine with slopes up to 28 degrees. Using a ventrac across slopes is so much faster then going up and down.
I’d love a ventrac but the cost is astronomical. The power unit is 30k+
Yep. Price has gone crazy.
@@TractorTimewithTim I love the fact they are built in my home state. I like the ideal of one machine that does it all. But the cost. Ventrac needs to get the price down and the sales up!
Im surprised you didn't use the flail mower would have cut that stuff down. Also I wonder if you can test the remote control tracked mower they use it exclusively overseas
Think about it…rocks, concrete, tire, etc.
Would tear a flail to pieces.
@@TractorTimewithTim valid point glad you said that
those were yucca plants you mowed
They are nasty in a cemetery and actually hard to kill.
🇨🇦👍
The one thing I see that you may regret later is touching the tires when removing them with bare hands after you have rolled through poison ivy.
I can smell it from here 😅
To answer your question about how many people are buried there... At the time of filming, all of them but three. 😀
"How many people are buried in the cemetery?" All of them!😅
the people in the cemetary (are not very active) comment ... i heard a two seater plane crashed there ... they are not sure of the death count as they are still digging up bodies
courtesy of the North Dakota Joke book
Tim, you wanted to know how many were buried there ? All of them ! 🙄
Did you get a new truck? That look like an F-150 not an F-350
Brian’s truck. Mine had squirrel damage.
Just curious not criticizing at all. How come u don’t go straight up from the bottom and back over and keep working your way across?
Two reasons. 1) it would take forever. 1/4 mile of 20’ back and forth 5-6’ at a time!
2) I don’t think I could have made the turn at the bottom consistently without hitting the corn.
Even if it is capable, why take chances mowing the hill sideways
Vs. What? 1000 up and down trips, risking turning out into the corn each time?
I think if you're going to use the phrase, "Where no man has gone before " you are obligated to use a William Shatneresque dramatic pause in all your lines during the video ... failing that, at least some Nimoy like logic .... it seems the dramatic pauses would be easier for you to convince people are genuine from you ... Hehehe
That Ventrac is amazing!
