Ricky and BobA, the VENTRAC "TOUGH-CUT" mowers and stump grinders are scheduled for January production. A few pre-production units are available sooner. Go to the venturepro.com web page and request information on attachments that are not featured yet. You may also inquiry about or suggest attachments that you would like Venture to offer. Presently a sickle bar mower is being tested. If the results are right it will be available in late spring. If VENTRAC's R&D department doesn't "doze off" there will be a lot more available in the spring!

Jim, the VENTRAC foot control is an option that becomes an addition to the standard "beside-the-seat" hand control. The hand control has a comfortable stroke range for which the operator can choose the "spring-assist-to-neutral" or "easy-shift" with no operational resistance except the shock absorber which reduces fast or jerky movement. The hand control also doubles as the control lever for the front hitch hydraulic lift. Right and left motion raises and lowers the hitch. The foot control can be added at anytime. It is especially recommended when the tractor has the rear 3-point hitch. It frees the right hand to operate the extra rear hitch lever. The foot pedal is completely in-board of the foot platform and has virtually no inteference potential.

Response to pequeajim 2000-07-19. The VENTRAC mower deck belt cover does not need to be lifted up when tilting the deck. There are two options: 1) Adjust the deck to a low cutting position. Tilt the deck, remove the pins(Pins can be removed first), complete the tilt and reinstall the lock pins. This can be done by accessing the pin location from the front, between the carrier and the deck. 2) If preferred the cover can easily be removed by lifting it up, giving it a slight nudge to the left and dislodging it from the hinges. All 5 VENTRAC mowers have this feature. The tach. and instrument panel are in a current evaluation/revision process.

My name is Glenn Steiner. I am a member of the family that sold the Steiner product line to Ransomes on January 18, 1988. My family and I each signed a 5 year non-compete agreement effective on that date. We had no plans nor made any commitments beyond January 18, 1993. There have been no lawsuits on product designs. The VENTRAC hitch mechanism is in the public domain. We still manufacture handicap-focused products and have no reason to use that to "look innocent" to our community. Please judge our integrity on the facts, check out our products at venturepro.com and contact us at 330-683-0075 to learn first hand how we are "to deal with." G in Ohio

Only VENTRAC has a weight transfer system for the all-wheel-drives. It is a standand feature. Either or both springs can be engaged by the selector levers. If there is too much "lift" either spring can be disengaged. Some operators prefer less lift in order for the rear deck roller to make a more prominent "stripe" effect on the grass.

Mark, check out the VENTRAC articulated tractors at wwwventurepro.com Your choices don't include the unusual benefits of these low profile, agile, all-wheel-drive tractors. 1948 8N Ford fan? Me too! I grew up on one. Ventrac even has the same color scheme. Maybe your preferred dealer would consider taking on VENTRAC. Take a look. Notice those front mounted attachments. Why keep them at the rear like your 8N?

Dave, Have you checked out the articulated four wheel drives? They are excellent, maneuverable mowing machines. They can reach over the water's edge, under fences, trees, etc. Venture Products even has a new offset 72" deck that enhances mowing parallel with the water's edge. See web site: "venturepro.com"

Check "venturepro.com" for a quiet blower that also has a discharge that rotates 180 degrees. Rotation is done by the tractor's auxiliary hydraulic circuit just like a snow blower chute.

I have one too

Check out the "venturepro.com" web site for hillside mowing. Articulated, all-wheel drive tractors are quite stable, manevuerable and effective in this application.
