I'm currently looking into getting the foot control for my Ventrac 4000. I like the ability to go forward or backwards with my foot while I am using my hand to control the front implement.

I have one too

Hello all! The CTB has graciously created a new topic for us labeled “Articulated Tractors”. This would cover Steiner www.steinerturf.com, and Venture Products, www.venturepro.com and other articulated compact tractors that you might want to talk about. Please feel free to post your comments, suggestions, and insite to the new topic. I know that one of the Steiner brothers from Venture Products frequently visits the CTB looking for feedback, and offering helpful comments.

Yes, I agree. I was suporised how much dirt I could push with the Ventrac. I have the 26.5hp diesel engine, and it has some torque!

I got mine from Lawn Care in Martindale, PA, (central pa).

Well, I've had my Ventrac 4000 for over a week now, and I must say that I don't regret my decision at all. The workmanship on the tractor is great, the only initial problem I had was a leaky fitting on my slip scoop, and the local dealer picked it up, fixed it, and returned the tractor in one day!

I'm having a blast. THanks Jack for all the help. I'm sure that we will have a lot more conversation on the topic of Compact Tractors. you really pointed me in the right direction, I'm hooked!

Just to give you guys some information about how I am using my tractor, I live in the middle of Amish country in Lancaster county on 5 acres, surrounded by a dairy farm, and three others. I have a 60" mower deck that I use to cut 2.5 acres of grass, and a slip scoop that I can use for just about everything! This week, I was using it to move a pile of topsoil over 50' for spreading, and cleaning my nieghbor's horse stall, and then used it as a wheelbarrel that afternoon! (After I washed it out of course).

I'm really having a good time with this thing!

Got my Ventrac now some questions

I wonder if anyone has used the foot pedal on the Ventrac 4000? It seems to me that this would free up the hand to work with just the implement attached up front, or the three point hitch? Has anyone used it? What did you think?

I also wonder if I could replace the forward/reverse with a joystick type of setup which would handle just the impleent up front. I then could use the foot pedal just for the movement.

I stopped by the Power Trac website. Man, is it slooooow, but the 400/1400 series look to be in the size range. I will call them tomorrow to get the name of a dealer near here. Based on your experience, which would you say is the better tractor, Steiner, or Ventrac?
