This was a very, very useful video. Very professional job. Thanks!
A challenge in attaching implements is you can’t see things well from the seat. So I stand off to the side and connect. I push wheeled attachments into the connect position.
The Ventrac manuals are the best in the industry… although I’d like to see more checklists.
Cheers. :)

You picked the right guy to do this video.

While I don’t have a use for a Ventrac tractor it’s so awesome to lean about them.

Why don’t you let owners buy the spare parts from you. My dealer is about an hour away and usually doesn’t carry the part. They substituted a John Deere oil filter for yours. Dealing with them is inconvenient please consider changing your practice.

Great video. You save me two hours watching Huberman talk about this topic lol.😂

[CliffordAllison]

Thanks for this video. Can you please make a video on all the attachments as they come out? I know we have to read the manual but many of us are visual learners and you showing things is so much easier.

Great presentation. Is there anything similar for the 3100 tractor? Please let me know. Thanks

I live in a Ventrac desert. It’s at least 2 hours to my nearest dealer. Hopefully one day Toro dealers will sell Ventracs.

How do I tow a 4520 with the gas kubota? Had one burn down on me recently and it’s dead in a field. Towed it some ways with another 4520 but neither seemed too enjoy it. Seemed as if the hydros were stopping me and can’t find a hydro release like on a walker mower

Nice! One thing I'd add is handles on both of the fenders. When you're on a slope, the handles would really help to hold yourself upright. Many tractors have them and won't come close to the 20-30 degree slope that these will, so handles are a must! Also do you have any hints on getting the mud out of those tires? They are very difficult to clean and if you just leave the mud to dry, you'll have mud turds everywhere the next time you use the machine. Thanks!

Great useful video. It helped me to watch it even tho I have had a 4500Z for a few years. I do wish you had covered the battery, especially is there a place to use jumper cables if needed. Thank you.

[mikemarconi]

Does the 4520 offer the wheel extensions? I have a 4500z with the factory installed extensions and feel the machine looks better and have never felt unsafe

It looks like all the stress from the operation of the attachment is being transferred through the 2 small pins. CGI turf broke one of his pins on a 4520 while running the power rake. How common is this problem? And do you know what the stresses are on those pins. (i.e. Do you use Finite Element models when designing attachments ex. ANSYS?)

Love hearing about these machines! lol Its just that i dont know I want to spend that much on a tractor if I can easily buy 3-4 zero turns for some employees. I do love them though and am thinking about getting one especially for winter so I can do some more business then.

51:31 that must be the Kohler. They are like that for some reason.

[qjason]

it was the simplest thing I’ve ever operated. (4500 diesel) sadly it had a bad brake in from the operator before me and never ran right a few months before I got to run it 😢

[davidgibbings]

Question love you’re kit but upgrade you’re fixings as they seem to break often, the clip you install to the product are weak an I’m always going through our surplus to find a replacement xx
