Ventrac tractors-factory tour
What happens here
The YouTuber describes his first experience operating a Ventrac unit on extremely steep terrain. He drives the Ventrac 4500Z with a mower deck up and across a grassy hill, intentionally pushing the machine beyond its stated limits of a 30-degree slope. He demonstrates turning in high gear and performing sharp maneuvers where the rear wheel lifts off the ground, showcasing the machine's articulated steering and stability (referred to as 'crab walk'). Using a smartphone app, the actual slope is measured at 35 degrees, exceeding Ventrac's recommended safe operating angle. On-screen warnings advise against driving on such steep slopes or outside one's comfort zone, emphasizing that this is a test beyond normal safe limits.
Goal: Test Ventrac's stability and performance on steep slopes
