Complete Mowing and Review Work

Woo! Well, we got it. Don't trust your emergency brake. I'm not going to trust the brake on this uh tractor right here for too long. It's It's a pretty steep hill. Guys, you cannot tell how steep hills are uh from the video footage. You just can't tell. Uh it's really steep. So, get this tractor on some flat ground and get back to mowing. Shut her down, Buford. She is sucking mud. Well, she was sucking mud a little bit there. Uh so, we got her done. All the way down that bank, all the way across the dam, all the way except for that little guy right there. Boop boop boop. That's where my yellow jacket nest is and all the way over there. I was really worried the whole time that we were going to get a downpour and I was going to get stuck over there where it was really, really steep. I've been putting this off for quite some time because the ground has been wet and I didn't want to get stuck just like I got stuck right there. The Ventrac is a beast, but it's not uh completely anti-getting-stuck proof. Uh the reason it got stuck is cuz there's a hump right here. So, the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 wheels and a hump right there. The hump had taken the weight off of the tires and that's why she was stuck. So, the Ventrac is pretty low to the ground. I'm going to say it's yeah, maybe 6, maybe 8 inches. I don't know how much ground clearance it has, but it's pretty low. You can get hung up on a rock or you can get hung up on a high spot like that if you're in a bind and I was in a bind. If you ever get a Ventrac or if you hire somebody that has a Ventrac to clean up your pond, just be aware of that. Also, know that the Ventrac is an articulating tractor, meaning that it rotates in the middle. Well, that means it'll crab walk with you. Crab walking means if it's on a steep grade or gradient like this or even on a hillside like you see over there, it will work its way down the hill slowly and steadily. If you go around a tree, it'll crab walk around that tree and you got to be careful. Don't get too darn close or you and the tree will be really close friends. You'll break the tree off or have to drag the um Ventrac just like I did off of the tree or off of the fence. Ask me how I know. We'll keep you guys updated on the pond. Everything looks great. Uh the water level is coming right on back up. We've got two more days of rain. I feel like we'll be back up to normal level within the next 48 hours and it's only been about a week since we did the repair. Keep you guys posted on…
