I have been watching ventrac vids on UA-cam for years.I was disappointed this year with the minimum amount of full videos. “If you post it, they will watch”
I have the broom and the fixed mold board plow with the wings. Put the broom on the front and plow in the back. When we backbroom the driveways, we can pull away AND push to the road WITHOUT turning around. It’s just a huge timesaver. I’ve been eyeballing the kx blowers. But, we need to get a bit more snow here for that to be needed. Careful what you wish for ❄️🌨️
Sounds like a solid set up! If you get a deeper snow this year, contact your dealer to see if you can demo a KX. The 52" is a solid choice for busting through driveways.
Zero tolerance accounts are difficult to field. But pay well. At least they do for us. Just have to make sure that both you and the customer have realistic expectations. Make sure those expectations align.
We got an SSV last year and my only complaint about the snow blower is that there is not an easy way to unclog the chute. During wet storms we would often clog the chute and it was very difficult to get the packed snow out. If you guys could design the fence guard on the front of the chute to easily swing down, unclogging the machine would be 100 times easier. Other than that we are really happy with the machine, especially the broom for the smaller storms. As my company grows we will be buying more in the future. hopefully a 4520 next!
The kind of snow you get (wet or dry) and the area you work (driveways, roads, parking lots, etc.) drive the implement decision. Part of that is where you move the snow to. If I plow 2 miles of roads of wet snow, then an 83 inch blade angled is useful. Some folks offer rubber blade extensions and gauge wheels vs iron. Hours on an open tractor in freezing weather with the kind of snow you get will drive your choices.
I’ve operated a peace a few years ago and I can say it’s Great equipment, easy to operate and learn but if you’re a tall person you do need to keep in mind of your legs position from being pinched while turning but otherwise it’s good equipment and I do wish I can own my personal equipment.
Screws popping out still a common complaint with a seemingly easy solution of threading into the sheet metal. Dealer network still needs vast improvement but at least there is one. Great product still appears to be dominating Steiger but Steiger does do this as well.
I enjoyed this video. Is it possible to attach the winds scree and wiper shown on the SSV to a 4520? (I have a new 4520 with a 52” snowblower on order and I’d surely like a windscreen without bothering with the full cab).
Hi guys, thank you for the video. I am about to buy my first plow attachment. I am thinking the V-plow with the extensions or the KD blade with extensions. If you had to choose which one would you recommend? (Driveways, big and small, sidewalks, etc) Does the v-plow have a little bit more pushing power?
Hey! At the end of the day, both of these of plows equipped with extensions will get the job done. If the majority of the jobs you are doing are driveways and other similarly sized areas, a straight blade with extensions may be best for you. If you are actually going to take on more pathways, the V-blade is great at opening up sidewalks so you can cover more in a day. Here is a great video for you to watch to see additional examples in operation: ua-cam.com/video/hsB6ShYMMUo/v-deo.html
Some building efrigeration systems run on glycol, which is antifreeze. If Ventrac has antifreeze in it, what's the holdup on designing an air-conditioned cab?
I really wish I understood what he means when he says a blade "translates out" is the V blade also a interpreter?? I've been plowing since 1996, and I've heard terms like "hoggin", but never translate. Guess my boomerism is kicking in...

Thank you for the suggestion and feedback! This will be passed to our video team
I agree love your videos Ventrac
Ventrac is the ABSOLUTE BEST tractor/snow machine there is... hands down!
✊
I must say you guys at ventrac think of everything well done 👏
Thank you! We have a great team!
Love my ventrac with a cab and it mows amazing
We have a 4520 and use the broom 30 to 1 to the v plow.
But glad to have it for insurance.

That's a very good point and something to always be up front with when getting those accounts!

Blast it with wd-40 as part of winter season prep.

One of the first questions we ask when someone is looking into snow equipment, is the kind of snow and average amount. Very good point!

Box plow with turf edge 🙌🏻

Ventrac has some great gear but haven't seen many videos this year.
More to come!
I need to win the lottery!

Hello! The windscreen is for the SSV, but the 4520 does have a cab option!
Do you guys have any reselers in Poland or other europe country? i am intrested with snow blower nx340

I don't think there's anything out there that can compare to the ventrac. It's versitile for any situation.
💪
Does cab have air conditioner?????
It does not
