Stuck in the Mud while doing a Review on Ventrac tractors

the project was restoring a beach the challenge was the ground was too soft to even support the weight of a skid loader with traps as soon as you try to park a loader down there it would just sink and this is Tony Madison you were watching dark monkey University the ventrac came in first thing we were going to do is just keep it a test run cuz that with the brush economy we were just gonna see what it could do we brought up we brought up the brush hog the brought on a stump grinder and we brought out a power rake we had to remove the old dead vegetation riding down and get rid of all the stubs level off the ground so that it can be converted to useable yard space we tentatively went and not knowing if the brush hog could handle what was down there this thing was an absolute beast blew our minds away I would have never said in my wildest dreams that this tool could handle brush like this what we found out is this brush hog not only cuts it down but it pulverizes it that basically leaves very little behind which is a beautiful thing because it kind of mulch is brought right into the ground this machine was able to work where I couldn't get a piece of equipment but it would float over the top making it deceiving how easy it was the reason I say this is because one of my operators got a little cocky drove too close to the lake and the shoreline gave away sinking the ventrac down into the mud she's buried we were before we got it buried we were able to clear this entire Beach out literally this is 15 minutes worth of work not even this would have taken two guys hours to do of course now that we buried the ventrac it's gonna take us probably just as long to unbury it because we don't have access down under this Beach this ground is like a sponge down here we can't get a truck down here so we're gonna have to fabricate something off the hill and try to train all the way down to the lake to get this thing out should be fun but it's stuck buried in the lake that's like sponge ground like when you hop off that thing the whole thing just kind of bounces so we can't get the truck even close to down here that will get stuck so all the way down there even though there's snow on the ground we were still able to power rake the area and do a finish grade because the ground wasn't actually frozen the Sunol fell and insulated the ground from freezing so we were able to come in with the ventrac power rake and level and finish grade everything now I could have used a hardly rake on a skid loader but it would have sank the ventrac with the eight wheels literally floats over the ground this gave me access to an area that otherwise I just plain and simply couldn't get to after getting the beach restored we decided to really put the brush hog to the test we've brought it on a tour woods where we to cut some past an eight-foot-tall brush that you could not walk I don't even think a deer could walk through this brush and this Bend track literally cut it down like it was mowing a lawn I seriously guys I would never guessed this thing could do this thing but it gets better it's not that it's just capable of doing things that a 50 horsepower farm tractor can do and a tiny compact package the better part is how it hugs the ground we were able to take the ventrac with the brush hog down and get contours and in places that there's no other piece of equipment that I can I can imagine maybe there are some and you guys have put it in the comments down below but there's no pieces of equipment that I could imagine would be able to hug the ground giving the operator a safe comfortable feel while accomplishing the job we call it the sketch factor hanging on by your butt sheets yes you can get a lot of jobs done using a piece of equipment that it's not quite right for it but you're not comfortable when we use this ventrac we were going down steep banks and climbing up steep banks and going sideways cutting thick brush you know so you cut that with the brush cutter yep that's like a 10 inch not that is not let me hear you straight cut okay put your foot on top of that thing once Franky you cut that with the freaking brush contract I bought one tree in there well I would have cut that down you don't think so whoa what up yeah but I wanted to leave one tree for you grinding out stops reading this bear track you impressed and how well-built each attachment is and how its got the end user in mind there's a lot of things that aren't included in this video guys like I've told these attachments apart I have serviced them out in the field with my nose-pickers literally I've had a nut or a bolt or something happen or a stick it twisted up I've had to literally go out with no tools just what God gave me and tried to repair the machine to keep it going and I was able to do it and I was thinking holy crap this is engineering at its finest this is engineering by a company that must obviously use their tools long story short and we never gave it as much credit back then as I do now it's a phenomenal little tractor that has the heart of a big tractor and it continues to impress me we tested some more equipment out coming up
