Pete Dye Golf Course at French Lick:: Pete Dye Golf Course at French Lick:: Pete Dye Golf Course at French Lick:: Pete Dye Golf Course at French Lick:: Ventrac Customer Jack Wiley - Contour Mower::The traction advantages of 4 wheel drive are apparent to most people, but I find the secure down-slope braking ability to be one of the most important assets of this type of chassis.  In addition, with dual wheels on the Ventrac 4000 series tractors, operation on side slopes of up to 30 degrees is both practical and safe.  Ventrac Customer Jack Wiley::My home is located in a very hilly area with many ravines having slopes of up to 30 degrees.  Thus the capability of the Ventrac 4231TD tractor with duals to operate safely on such slopes is the major reason that I am a Ventrac owner and fan.  Ventrac Customer Jack Wiley::With the Ventrac I now safely mow some of the steeper slopes belonging to my neighbors in addition to my own.  They are grateful for the assistance, and I get to enjoy the ride.  Tough Cut Demo::

The ultimate slope mower

While slopes and hillsides add aesthetics and dimension to the landscape, those same hills and slopes can be very dangerous to mow without the right type of slope mowing equipment.

Ventrac compact tractors have what it takes to perform with unbelievable traction for mowing hillsides safely. The outstanding agility and maneuverability of Ventrac for mowing slopes and hills comes from the oscillating center frame which keeps all four wheels in constant contact with the ground even on the roughest terrain.

30 degree slope rating Ventrac compact tractors ride low to the ground with a deep center of gravity. Equipped with optional dual wheels the tractor has a wide foot print. These factors combined with the Weight Transfer System provide unbelievable traction and security on slopes of up to 30 degrees (4000 series tractor).

With a Ventrac compact tractor equipped with dual wheels and connected to a Ventrac contour mower, tough cut mower, reel mower or finish mower, you can mow slopes with confidence, security, and ease to give you the ultimate slope mower experience.
