Ventrac Review pt2 "HOW NOT TO TEST A TRACTOR ?!?" because Franky is STILL Nuts PT.2

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter introduces a unique feature of the Ventrac: the 'slope gauge.' This is described as a readout on the dash that indicates the machine's current angle, horizontally and vertically, to help the operator avoid tipping over. He lightheartedly implies that experienced operators often rely on their 'butt cheeks' clamping to the seat as an intuitive slope gauge. The conversation then transitions to a more serious note about the ease of installing accessories. The presenter mentions that Ventrac attachments utilize automotive-style connectors with gaskets, allowing for simple 'click-and-connect' installation without any wire cutting, directly hooking into the dash switches.

Goal: Explain the slope gauge feature and the simplicity of connecting electrical accessories without wire cutting.

All right, guys. So, a slope gauge is actually a readout that's right on the dash of the piece of equipment. And what it does is it tells you what angle your piece of equipment is at so you don't tip over and fall out. So, if you hit 45°, I got a slope gauge in my butt, Dan. Yeah, we don't have slope gauges in our equipment. We just know that when our butt cheeks clamp onto the seat beneath it, we're probably too steep. Like I said, Dan loves his vent track. Dude, I do. It's one of my favorite things ever, man. It's just the coolest tractor. The only thing, like I said, I always tell people, the only thing you're missing with a Ventra is the high-end loader, right? They do have a high-end loader. It's kind of pricey, but if you really need that, you can put it on. But I think all the other advantages take away that disadvantage. And honestly, how often do you really you know, me personally, I don't use that loader going? I'd use it all the time, but I use it for like I like lifting things, right? All right, guys. So, I actually didn't know that Ventre made a high-end loader. So, I did a little bit of research and I found this clip. Now, the guy voice kind of reminds me of being back in high
