COMFORT & CONTROLS
Ventrac Tractors controls are simple and easy to use, allowing you to quickly harness these agile, yet powerful machines.
How The S.D.L.A. Control System Works
-
Speed: Accelerate & Brake
The further forward or backward you push the control, the faster or slower the tractor will go. Bring the controls to the center to brake or stop.
-
Direction: Forward & Reverse
Push the controls forward to make the tractor move forward. Pull the controls backward to make the tractor move backward.
-
Lift: Lift Front Attachments
Pull the control inward to lift the front attachment. Push the control outward to lower the front attachment. Push the control to its center resting position to enable the front attachment to float on the ground, independent of the tractor.
-
Auxiliary: Hydraulic Control
Push or pull the rear S.D.L.A. control in or out to control the hydraulic auxiliary front attachments.
For Example: Hydraulically angling the dozer blade or hydraulically rotating the snowblower chute.

We were looking to upgrade our equipment when we came across Ventrac. It was "wow" for us, why did we suffer for the first six years with these other pieces of equipment when we could have had this.Bert HillyardView Full Testimonial
After my first DEMO with the dual wheel kit I was sold. I was able to mow completely around these beds midslope cutting both on side hill as well as up and down. The control, traction and stability on this slope is amazing.Brian SteinView Full Testimonial
