How this compact brush cutter works....you might be surprised! Made in the USA

What happens here

Lower the hood of the Ventrac tractor. The attachment deck is held in an upright position by a pin; remove this pin to lower the deck to its operating position. Inspect the complex belt system underneath the deck for any debris or obstructions, as well as checking fluid levels (like oil) in the main tractor. Re-insert the pins (four in total, two on each side) to secure the deck. Ensure the kickstand apparatus, used to support the attachment when detached, is in the full up position. Adjust the belt tension if necessary using a wrench, tightening the locking nuts to achieve optimal tension for operation. Replace the cover over the belt system.

Goal: After blade maintenance, inspect the belt system and secure the attachment deck to the tractor using pins, ensuring all fluids are topped off for operation.

can get to cutting good put the hood down on the machine I checked the oil once in a while we've only got about 27 hours on this thing but we've been working the crap out of it so making sure I keep my fluids all topped off and everything's good to go this is held in place by a pin right down here and basically I'll pull back on this you let the deck down just like so and there's a cover that goes over this belt system there's a pretty crazy belt system underneath here also just doing a little inspection since I've been cutting so much make sure nothing's hung up on the belt system and we'll slip the cover back on very very simplistic design smartly designed made in the USA so awesome stuff we've already serviced all of our lubrication points right here what we've got to do is that pin I just pulled out we've got to reinstall that pin and there are three other pins two on this side and two on that side that hold this deck in the right position pin number one is here already put it in pin number two is here they're both held in with keys when I pop the hood on this all the debris that I'd been through I was very impressed and all the debris I'd been through and there was no issue whatsoever with debris clogging up all these belts it's a pretty complex belt system I'll show you I can get this pin in place here it likes to hop back out there we go once it doesn't hop back out when we're using it it likes to hop back up because it's tight oh these pins are really small and I don't have small hands let's see here there we go so put it back in our original position in my same thing here and come on baby yeah alright now this little apparatus right here that's sticking up is a kickstand so this kickstand basically when you set the implement off of the machine it sets it up straight we need to kick stand in the full up position here so always a good idea to check your belt tension - I think about tension is a little bit low this is a brand new piece of equipment so I think we have gotten a little bit on the broken inside in other words we've broken the belts was about four hours of use so we'll go ahead and snug her down here a little bit tighter yeah we got good belt tensioner Snug down our little locking nut here and she's ready to rock and roll put our cover down reattach we're good to go
