Facebook :: Zoar Levee - Photos from a recent photo shoot at Zoar Levee with long time Ventrac owner Jack Wiley. The slope was consistently 25 degrees (47% grade).
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.
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.
Anti-Scalping Solution
If scalping while mowing uneven terrain is an issue, the 84" Ventrac contour mower with its three independent decks will gently float over and hug the ground without scalping and turf damage….simple as that. The full rear rollers create a beautiful striped finish on the grass.
The tremendous traction and performance of Ventrac compact tractors will allow you to safely tackle steep slopes. Please refer to the Slope Mowing Safety page for how to make working on the slopes with the Ventrac a safe and enjoyable experience.
