Ventrac Blog Ventrac Compact Tractors & Attachments

This article is about the power, finesse, elegant style, speed, durability, and versatility of Ventrac… on a soccer field. To be more precise, what happens when you put a team of Ventrac employees on a soccer field to play (not to mow, stripe, aerate, seed or landscape, etc.).

For the last several years Ventrac employees have participated in a local indoor soccer league at the Dalton YMCA.   This year 12 teams made up of high school, business, and other acquaintances, participated in the league.  Each team consisted of 5 players on the field at a time.  It is a highly competitive league made up of several solid teams and year after year, Ventrac has managed to finish at or near the top.

A news article came across my desk last week.  I know, that doesn’t sound like a big deal, but the subject of the article was very close to the heart of a Ventrac employee, Eric Fodor.   Our local newspaper wrote the story about Eric’s sister, Alyssa Fodor.  Alyssa and Eric experienced the tragic loss of their grandfather several years ago due to a tractor rollover accident.   As I read through the text of this article, I thought it was very thought provoking and was something that needed to be shared with our readers.   Maybe you have had a similar experience as the Fodor family, and even if you have not, hopefully we can help Alyssa in her quest to take a horrible accident and give it a higher purpose.    She now makes it her passion and mission to develop programs to make sure tractors are equipped with ROPS (rollover protective structures) in hopes that other families may avoid the pain her family went through.   Continue Reading
