Ventrac 4500Z mowing a section of 1/2 mile long ditch with the 72" FastCut Flail Mower in about 2'-3' tall, dense grass. Thank You For Watching! & Have A Wonderful Day!
Yeah But for me I will buy a big battery mower in china. They are pretty reliable and doesn't produced CO2 that will increase the green house effect...🐖 I just like to save the planet however 🐖💨...🌏
All I can say is holy crap!! I have never seen a mower eat grass so efficiently and easily in all of the videos I've watched to date. This Ventrac is amazing. I'll watch a few more videos to make up my mind.
Hi Damien I too was impressed that is why I have asked him if he can use normal rotating blades. If that Ventrac can use the Kavli Beast blades what a monster it would be.
michael dugger I have a Husky that cuts as well as the Ventrac. That is why I asked if he is able to put Kavli blades on his Ventrac. The Kavli Beast blades actually reduce the clippings much finer than the Ventrac. It would be great if he could put them on his Ventrac.
Man the ventrac is serious... Love the finish too.. Its all laying there but it's not a disaster like a brush hog... Nice video... Thanks for your time!
love watching these machines work and the real time was great being able to listen to the sound of it working you dont see many of them were i live in Australia
Very enjoyable vid sir....I was tensing up when you mowed up the road shoulder tho...glad you didn't kick up debris and possibly hit one of those vehicles...🍻
Sure... you COULD get it done faster with a tractor and a batwing.... and leave ruts, and longer clippings, and a generally worse appearance than the tall grass. He wasn't hired to cut hay.
I love viewing the job from your POV and the Ventrac's POV. The Ventrac 4500 is a monster mower. Talk about a precision cutting! The grass is green and thick. Question; Do you feel the vibration from head to foot, while you are sitting at the wheel?
that grass is really beautiful n im probably the only one saying that bc when u move into the city n see grass here, its alot worse then the beautiful grass there!!
The real GOLD mine there would be to take a tight knit closed clothed sack and go around and harvest all that premium grass seed. That stuff is super expensive in the stores.
I tend to think, if you are mowin the grass on a 25thousand dollar lawn mower.... ya prolly ain't worried about 10 or 20 bux for ''premimum grass seed bag'' well for the legal lawn out front anyhow.... lol
yes, that was $25,000 for the basic machine... $6000 more for that cutter deck... even more for the hydrolik one... or something like that.... one day, after a trip to SACRAMENTO with my winnin lotto/powerball/superlotto or wutever winning ticket.... ;)
So much for the general recommendation of only cutting of 1/3 of the stalk. ha! I'm guessing this is city property and city doesn't care if grass lives or dies or picked up, if so, seems to be the right machine.
Usually what I do if my mower gets bogged down, if it’s my little push one, I would back it up and lift it up a little bit and then keep on mowing. But if it’s our big one, then what I would do is I would stop the blades, and then unclog by hand with the mower and engine off and then restart the engine
Negative, take a look at this section of the video 4:20-4:50. Yes it does chop up the material more going over it again, but its not necessary because it already does an awesome job chopping up the material. The load on the engine is about the same cutting mostly already cut material, with a little uncut material. In the video, I try to maintain about 3000rpm on tachometer, because that's where the sweet spot seemed to be as far as keeping the most production (speed) and cut quality. Thanks For Watching!
@@westriverlawnsnow3452 For the most part, I am impressed with the cut of these machines. But only if you have a north or south 40 to mow every week will one of these beasts be practical. But we can dream, can't we?
Well the flail mower seems to mulch and distribute the clippings better but is maybe a bit slower. I couldn't tell if it was leaving more pushed over grass than the ToughCut but the areas that were double cut definitely looked better with the FastCut. Which one do you prefer? Edit: This property is my favorite for "overgrown grass" videos. Maybe next time you could record the whole thing?
The speed at witch you can mow this type of vegetation, as far as density and height goes, is VERY similar to that of the Tough Cut. In our experience, NO, the FastCut flail mower does NOT leave streaks of uncut material like the Tuff Cut does from the front caster wheels, as longs as you place your outside caster wheel, outside of the uncut material that's been ran over by the inside caster wheel. That was one of thee biggest and I mean BIGGEST reasons we wanted to demo the FastCut flail mower. I would say 90% of what we have mowed with the Tough Cut, has just been tall, and at times, really tall (6'+) grass. We hands down prefer the FastCut Flail mower for mowing tall grass in "clean" areas where there isn't a bunch of protruding rocks, and large debris, for example. We wouldn't use the FastCut flail mower to mow an area that's riddled with rocks, large debris, etc., because its simply not meant for that. It does a much better job of actually cutting the material, and leaves an awesome finish compared to the Tuff Cut in grass. I tried to answer your questions the best I could. Thank You For Watching!
@@westriverlawnsnow3452 That's what I figured with the grass cutting so clean. The hammer blades don't cut quite as clean, but they'll do a better job on cutting them the brush cutter. At least Ventrac now gives customers a choice for their particular applications. That's one of the things I like about them is to meet the various needs of the customer..
Darn that's healthy nice an green. Lol I don't know what grass this is. But this should of been harvested, Cut - Raked an sun dry it, teed it for a few days then bail it for low quality feed bails or stable and pen bedding hay for a lill $$$$$$..😊 But because of so close to hightway traffic, it be elegal by law !!!!.
Description says flail mower... Ventracs have a diesel engine and work an attachment with a Power take off aka PTO... the flail mower on this one is a 6 foot width... Flails are a series of short chains each with a U shaped blade on the end of it... Each chain arpund 4 or 6 inches long... All attached to a barrel bar in the middle... As this bar spins the flails extend and cut the grass... The discharge if you look real close... You can see all this cut grass laying neatly right where it got cut... Hard to see but that is a flail mower in a rundown form... Hope this helps!
yea....makes you want to go mow somehting, anything. hahaha. looks like its making mulch out of that grass. how does it do in thickets where theres a lot of small trees and growth that you just want gone?
Look, I know nothing about the Ventrac series of machines, but why do all Ventrac operators drive the thing so slowly - is it because that it will not go faster? If it can go faster, can the operator set cutting height within a range( just like a walk-behind push mower ) and start high on the first cut and lower it when the grass is more manageable ( second, maybe third cut ). It appears to me that the machine is being coddled, when it might be pushed harder - quite a lot harder, especially given its size and power. Puzzled onlooker!
I’m not sure I would call 2’-3’ stalks grass. Certainly not the kind of grass I have. Hard to beat the efficiency of a bush hog if chopping large properties at that height often.
Hi looks great just out of curiosity do you have the ability to use normal rotating blades that ride ons use like the deeres huskys scags,etc. Is there anything else you can to put on that Ventrac and use those blades?
