Ventrac Quality Cut: NC State get its stripes with a Ventrac finish mower

[rivasjuan1]

Looks like the wheel doesn't spin. :D

[Ventrac7]

@rivasjuan1 Depending on the wheel speed there can be a weird optical illusion which makes the wheels look stationary or driving the wrong way. :-) If you look at the valve cover inside the wheel, you'll notice it spinning the correct way.

[wintercat2]

@Ventrac7 - I wish I knew the title and artist of the background music. Great tune.

[Ventrac7]

@wintercat2 The track comes from a stock music CD by studio cutz called "I Need You". If you google studio cutz, and then search on their site for "I Need You", you should be able to find it.

how havy is the long roller?

[Ventrac7]

@MsBmx25 The actual roller only weight around 28lbs, however for striping, the weight on the roller is more important. These are approximate guesses, but with weight transfer on (which you'll want for hillside mowing), there is about 65-70lbs on the roller. Without weight transfer there is about 140-145 pounds. So you can get a deeper stripe by disengaging weight transfer.

@Ventrac7 ok thanks!

WOLFPACK!

[sweetmonkeylove1]

Looks like a great machine for large area's however we get such strong growth here that a bagging system would be required. Rear preferably. I never seen it's turning radius. I love the amount of wheel displacement. Great for wet areas. We used the walker mowers and while they are a feat of engineering, the pto's and gear box's fail far too frequently. Nice machine to run though. waiting for parts sucks.

[Ventrac7]

@sweetmonkeylove1 On YouTube, search for "ventrac vac system". The Vacuum Collection System is used for high grass that needs to be collected because it would be to much to discharge.

[tornadocone]

the tires look like there going backwards hahaha

[shur1213]

looks like carpet!

[epiclawn]

Whats with the sub titles?

[Ventrac7]

@epiclawn I believe Close Captioning is a default setting you can turn on or off. We recently added them to some of our top clips.

00:46 - 00:58

Yeah, and it stripes real good too! Real good, for you know, striping.

[eltonjohnfan100]

understand that most commercial guys, like myself will never have one of these, yea it looks nice but we dont have time to buy a mower just for slopes, in my opinion is that exmark has a low center of gravity and its the best mower on the market

[LawnCareBusiness]

Beautiful machine. What other ground engaging components can be attached?

[Ventrac7]

@LawnCareBusiness There are over 30 professional grade attachments to choose from including: Aerators, Blades, Blowers, Broom, Snow Blowers, excavator bucket, slip scoop, power rake, terra rakes, tiller, trencher, loader, post hole digger, tough cut mower, side and rear discharge finish mowers, an 84-inch contour mower, edger, generator, sod cutter, Stump Grinder, and more third party attachments including ballpark groomers and trunk pumps. That's why we call it "Your One Tractor Solution!"

[JesusChristRulesYOU]

Where do the lines come from, it doesnt make sense. They are changing the grass color and that is a sin for polluting the earth just to make the grass have crisscross lines. Stop being ignorant and give your life to Christianity or else you will goto hell and that is a fact.

[steinedd]

@JesusChristRulesYOU My dear Christian Brother, stripes in the grass come from the rear roller of the mower bending the grass in one direction as it mows. By mowing the next row over in the opposite direction, it gives the lawn a striped look. Nothing artificial is being done to the grass, it is not being painted, & it is completely natural. I plead with you to do your own research on a topic before calling someone ignorant and hell bound. You come across as Pharisee, not a Christ follower.

[reaper0587]

@JesusChristRulesYOU A few things. Go on to any striped lawn and stand 30 feet out in a dark row. then turn around. the colors change when you change your orientation in relation with the row. Also, my family is Catholic. This is Youtube so please stop preaching. You don't know these people and I am positive you have commited sins yourself. There is no factual proof of where you go when you die; heaven, hell or otherwise

[RustyRazor2010]

@JesusChristRulesYOU - Heaven and Hell are right between your ears.

[JohnnyGTR34]

@JesusChristRulesYOU It's the way the grass is mowed. Like when you vacuum a carpet, the carpet goes in one direction and makes it look discolored. But it's really not. And I'm not sure any follower of God should be going around telling people that they'll go to hell if they don't believe in Jesus. Maybe they will, but I'm sure God will give them a chance.

[JohnnyGTR34]

@JesusChristRulesYOU Oh, and Mr.JesusChristRulesYOU, changing the earth is not permanent. If people happen to go extinct from our own doings, then so be it, but we've seen it before. Plants grow back, the atmosphere begins to clear over hundreds of years. The "end of the world as we know it" is just basically the end of us. The earth goes on. I'm not saying it's good to pollute, but this is not polluting, It's trimming grass. Now, can we get back on teh subject of the video?

[sk8monkey10000]

who waches dis beside the guys from king of the hill i love that show

[arisechicken82]

Can I get a small one for a regular house sized lawn?

[steinedd]

@arisechicken82 Check out the Ventrac 3100 or Ventrac 3200. The 3000 series is a little smaller (52-inch and 60-inch mowers), but also offers over 15 attachments to choose from, plus the same striping and cutting technology on the mowing decks. Plus they also have a decent slope rating.

[Jimm9349]

Not the kind of stripping I was looking for. But I can jack off to this, either way.

[chillrasta12]

I really uhh....rate the stripe real high because...uhh....its real good fer stripin. The guys in this video sound too stupid to even cut lawns.

[ding0925]

I wish i was rich so i could trade my crapsman in for one of these...

[TheChiefExecutive]

OMG I have always wanted to see the maintenance guys mow this, I ride by it everyday on my way to class. Now there is a video on youtube!!!! awesome!!!!

[Ventrac7]

@TheChiefExecutive I was very impressed with the maintenance crew and the job they do when I was at NCState to film this.

[crackcrackkorn]

not as good as a dixie chopper or as fast

[miked9372]

wicked lawn tractor
