- Behind the scenes - Factory Training Ventrac 4500
Today we are welcoming two brand new employees to the Marketing Department at Ventrac.
Typically when we have a new employee at Ventrac, we make sure they get some time on the equipment. It’s important that anyone working at Ventrac knows exactly how cool the equipment is that they are building, selling, and representing. And it’s essential that our Marketing Department knows exactly what they are representing.
Our new employees Sidney and Andrew have read the Operator’s Manual prior to this training and understand the procedures and fundamentals of operating a Ventrac. They’ve also watched our series of educational Simple Start videos on CZcams.
We recommend all new operators do at least those things before and learn from an experienced operator or dealer prior to getting on their first Ventrac. Also, spend some time getting comfortable operating the machine of flat grounds prior to operating on slopes.
Operating a Ventrac is a very intuitive experience. The machine is incredibly easy to run. Andrew points out that it feels foreign to him because there is no foot pedal. He is used to operating traditional compact tractors that offer foot pedal control. And Aaron explains why our hands are so much better at operating a Ventrac because of our quick reaction time and intuitive nature of hand controls with the SDLA lever.
The benefits to driving a center articulating and oscillating tractor are much more than the eye can see. Operators feel the difference in the seat of the tractor with FlexFrame and experience a smoother, better ride over uneven turf surfaces. The tractor’s ability to follow a matching wheel path means it is gentle on turf and will not damage or tear the surface. FlexFrame also allows the operator to feel more confident on slopes with greater stability and traction.
To get the full experience, you’ll want to demo a 4500 on your own property. To find a dealer near you, or to answer any other questions you might have, visit our website at ventrac.com.

Did you really just bleep out a name of a tractor the guy said he used? Does the word petty mean anything?
I have a "world lawn" zero turn mower...I would put that up against that tractor any day....I cut grass on hills steeper than that.....PS, my kubota zero turn also mows the same hill.....

@@LC-py3yf Grab your video camera and record it. I'd love to see a head to head and you beating the pants off the Ventrac! What slope is your machine rated for?
@@ventrac OHHH
@@ventrac SHOOT
If you are whatching this on a phone you can tilt the phone until you see the tractor straight and you will see the angle of the hill. It's really helps putting it into perspective
Thats Insane! My back hill is 26 degrees and have to push mow it. The Ventrac would make that a piece of cake! I thought my hill was to steep for it until I found thats its 26. Completely Outstanding!
The drive system of the 4500 is the best in the business. So much faster than a conventional tractor. One of the best built tractors in the world.
holder c992 struggles hills thats what my town needs is one of those vennys to replace the holder
We appreciate you!!!!!!
Love how your haze your new employees. Way more fun than a roller coaster too!
Wow! I just realized that if your scared of roller coasters, maybe stay off of the steeper banks. I could see that scenario being scary 😟. I love roller coasters, and I love pushing my Ventrac to its limits as well
Great job as usual. The competency of the Ventrac speaks for itself. But Aaron you just teased us with (without seeing) a new prototype piece of equipment I could not get out of my mind off of during the video! LOL!
😁🧐
Liked, Watched, Commented, Shared, Subscribed, Watched.... great idea with training and I love Ventrac!
I had seen so many ventrac videos, that when we actually got a ventrac at our golf course, I was immediately comfortable with it and going up and down slopes with no issues within the first 5 minutes of getting the machine 😂
I love the ventrac! It’s such an awesome machine. Has a few quirks that could be major or minor depending on your needs.
Looks like the start of a VENTRAC Academy series of training videos. I would enjoy refresher training before revisiting a difficult task that was last tried over a year ago.
Great video Aaron! It’s so true, my prior zero turn wouldn’t come close to what the VenTrac does. I’ve got one 35 degree slope that I’m certain the VenTrac would conquer, but the pucker factor is too great and the slope indicator keeps barking at me.
We had a viewer say he could mow slopes with a skidsteer better than our Ventrac. I was like; please don't! 🤷🏻♂️
Memories of my first time on our hills. OK Aaron, don't tease us. Show us the prototype. I HATE suspense!
Another reason for no foot pedal is that on the 30° slope you will be using your legs to lock yourself in place
I work for a company that sells these.I saw it for the first time in our shop.This thing looks so cool.My boss said he could get me on some of the equipment we sell.I want to drive this.
That's what we love to hear!
It would be interesting to see a zero turn approach the hill, and demonstration purposes show how incredibly unstable that would actually be.
I'm curious if side hill mowing would be a no go with this same rig. Never doubted the up/down hill capability. Great machine. Nice add to the team with the new recruits.
It's rated for 30 degrees in any direction. It's also stable and works well mowing sideways but traction is always more difficult going sideways so if the conditions are too wet then you can experience some loss of traction. In that case, the tractor will "crab" but you can continue working as long as you're okay with the impact on the turf.
So would it be safe to go up that 30 deg hill with no front attachment and a fully loaded power bucket mounted on the rear of the tractor?
No...in fact, it's best to always have an attachment on the front of the tractor for weight balance.
Is breathing in Dust a big problem on the Ventrac since the mower is in the front?
The mower decks aren't too bad unless you suffer from allergies and there's a lot of pollen around. A respirator is a good idea on some of the dustier jobs like power raking or ballpark groomer when the conditions are very dry.
Take something good and make it great. Always room for improvement. Take this 4500 and put it on tracks. Many of other trackers manufacturers are putting tracks inplace of tires. No flats and doesn’t get stuck. I would also like to see a much more powerful Diesel engine options. All my equipment is diesel. I’m in the market for a tractor and like some of the stuff yall are doing but I the options I just started.
You can't be on the payroll if you can't do the Hill. I wish I hadn't sold the Grasshopper now, I feel challenged
to back it up the hill, and mow vertically down the slope on it. The chevron tires seemed to give it more ability in reverse.
Good video, but what about "altoz" zero turns on tracks? They claim extremely steep terrain climbing as well. Still would prefer the ventrac overall. But the question persists.
Weight bias is still a problem with those when going straight up but they are considerably better than wheeled zero turns overall. The tracks also tear turf up pretty significantly unless you slow to a crawl for every turn (like really, really slow).
Have you considered making a mini Ventrac rear seat articulating 4x4 tractor?
Fourth like wins a ventrac! Man , am I lucky.
haha - if only!
Love the videos- can you turn down the music so we can hear the instructions better on future videos?
I have a hill that is so steep and big that When I mow it I do a wheelie the hole way up I have to regulate the throttle so much
Hi. Iam from Germany and I hink your Products are very interesting, so I wanted to ask, If you sell Them in Germany too?
If they do, buy one. They are built like tanks and do things that I’m not sure anything else can tackle.
Thanks for the compliment! We are always actively adding distribution so if there's not somebody near you right now, check back in the future to see as well. For an up-to-date list of international locations, check out this link: www.ventrac.com/distributors
How does the weight transfer work?
We use a big spring assembly located inside the main frame of the tractor and it helps to support some of the weight of the attachment. Because of the geometry of this system, it concentrates the extra force onto the front axle area of the machine and off the attachment, providing better traction, among other things. czcams.com/video/q_iolxuDtGM/video.html
@@ventrac that is extremely smart, thank you. You must have a great engineering team.
@@theericfreeze4498 Our engineers ARE awesome :)
So can a new owner/operator come to the factory and get training there?
We don't really have any official programs for that at the moment but we've been contemplating how we might do something like this. We'll be sure to update the channel if/when we officially offer this.
@@ventrac understood. I am in the buying process right now, and the thought of spending nearly 60K on tractor/attachments and nary a clue how to run them safely and efficiently, is daunting.
@@arlisspropertyservicesllc5943 for now, send an email to mmm@ventrac.com and we'll see if we can help individually. Include your contact number and location as well.
@@ventrac ok, thanks!
And there needs to be a foot pedal as well. The hand controls seem good but customers need that option.
It actually is available as an option .... although we don't recommend it very often. The hand control is just so much better. The foot pedal comes in handy when you're using a loader or a rear attachment that you want to control with hydraulics.
A walker mower could hold that hill.
Son I hate to tell you this but I've sold zero turns for 20 years now I have a world lawn viper it'll go up and down that Hill three times faster than that tractor years and it won't even slip good luck to you
I bet it’s not as versatile as the Ventrac.
Are you serious? Show us a video.
That's a very good joke, good luck to you
