Ventrac 4500z

- Опубліковано 20 бер 2020
- Ventrac approached us about using one of their machines for use in our business. It has been so much fun getting to use this piece of equipment and to see everything it is capable of doing.
We put it to work in one of the retention ponds we regularly maintain to see what she had!

You're a humble guy John and you deserve a break like this my friend. I'm sincerely happy for ya!!
God is certainly stirring in your life with bigger things to come...
Congrats buddy and God Bless.
Jay 👍👍
Thanks Jay I appreciate that.
If you don't get stuck from time to time, you're not trying hard enough! Be sure to tell your wife we said thanks for coming to help! We're already looking forward to the next adventure :)
Ha! I'm always happy to help out and keep Jon looking good!
@@thebroll5722 Excellent!!
Mrs. Upstate looked like a seasoned operator. She done good!
Thanks it was her first time driving the excavator.
Upstate Brush Control she’s not gonna let you forget this
I got my job watching these machines in action , I was so impressed I found a local company that sells them in uk Devon DGM uk , I love them , there’s always a point when they get stuck in the mud , but I still love them We get 450y as diesel most prefer them here , a mater of choice 🙂👍
Your wife did a great job saving the day! I think just about any equipment like that would have gotten stuck. Keep up the good work and don't be so hard on yourself, things like that happen. The Ventrac was fantastic! J.R.
That’s awesome and i/we can see how truly humble you are
They are a great machine for their purpose, but they art a real rough terrain mower. I've been running one for almost 15 years around the farm and have learned a few things:
1. They have great floatation, especially with the duals, but when you do start to sink in, it'll pack the tire tread and be stuck real quick. But it'll beat any other mower out there as far as floatation.
2. It doesn't have a whole lot of ground clearance. That, coupled with the small (relative to tractors) tires means that as soon as you start to sink it'll bottom out and you'll lose traction and be stuck.
3. Don't get too close to a tree or post at the articulation point. If you do, it'll get between the tires and you'll just work yourself over into it and will have to pull the Ventrac sideways to get it out. This is especially easy when your mowing a sideslope and go above a post. It's really easy to slide into it a little bit, then your stuck.
4. In the 16 years I've been running one, I've only gotten it stuck because of the above reasons about 4 times. And that's running on some really steep sideslopes and over quite marshy terrain. If you keep in mind that it is designed to be a versatile heavy duty lawn mower, then you'll do alright with it. I can forsee it being quite useful to ya in keeping retention basins mowed on a regular basis with little ground disturbance.
If you are gonna get stuck, do it right, John. :) What a wonderful wife you have and aren't you glad you showed her how to run certain machines, just in case. Stay safe, nothing in my County yet but we are far from out of the woods with this virus. 3/22/2002
I am glad you show mistakes. Sooner or later something will go wrong on any job. Kudos to Mrs Upstate 😊
Thanks John that thing is impressive. Did way better on the slopes and in the marsh than I expected. Wifey is an accomplished recovery operator too.
We are his children and we are blessed and highly favored.
This is the best Upstate Brush Control video ever. Sometimes you have to ask the wife to help. Mine learned very quickly about the notorious disappearing 10mm socket while helping me work on her car.
I sent this video to a friend of mine who has a business like yours in Ohio. He wrote back that after watching it, he’s going to buy a Ventrac. Says it looks like awesome. Now, he says, if he can only find someone as beautiful and talented as Mrs. Burns, he says he’d have it made. (He’s 24 and single.)
You have a great work ethic and do fantastic work. Glad to see that Ventrac recognizes your accomplishments.
Mrs upstate is a good operator.congrats on your channel
1st, you deserve this you work hard
2, you always try to do your best and not short cut on jobs
3, you dont abuse your equipment
4, you do as much preventative maintenance as fixing the odd broken bit of kit
5, even when some people come and attack you about your work or channel you remain civil and explain your position even when i think they dont warrant your time or energy
6 your tube channel continues to grow at a good rate
Hell bro i am surprised it has taken this long!
p.s, funny how on your maiden shoot oft he new kit you go and sink it hehehe
10 years from now
son; mum remember when you had to go and save dads butt when he got the big lawnmower stuck?
dad; hell son havent you forgotten that by now?
son; dad i WONT ever forget that and dont worry dad i wont ever let you forget it either lol
Hi John! you got yourself a good machine, something in the mud, but you knew how to help yourself. all the best to you and your family and your brush control Gang.we have bad times! God protect you ! 👍👍👍👋👋👋🇩🇪
Jodi did a great job! :)
Awesome opportunity, Jon! Praying that the Lord continues to grow your business.
77 Likes and no dislikes. Love it. Well deserved for someone as humble as yourself. Your videos are awesome and I'm glad you were given this opportunity
Nice machine. Aggravating video. I knew you were gonna get stuck. I was yelling at my iPad but you couldn’t hear me. Wife did great. I assume she doesn’t have a lot of hours on the excavator. That slope was crazy. Working on Saturday making a living. Nobody will love your company more than you. Best of luck. I just subscribed to your channel.
You deserve it John, stay safe in these difficult, unreal times. Thanks for posting, makes life a bit easier.
Did a beautiful job. And wife too. Beautiful family. You work hard. You deserve the equipment
Nice job John! Love the family pulling together to get you out of that mud!! Great little machine. Take care buddy Graham 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Congrats to you & the Mrs. for getting the opportunity to use the Ventrac. I've been using one since 2014, when I got it so I could more easily and safely mow some steep highway overpasses. It's a different beast and takes a bit of getting used to but tackles jobs no other mower does, IMHO. Plus, unlike other "slope" mowers, it's extremely versatile -- a big plus for use in the winter, for example. Have fun!
I think ventrac have been very savvy. Channels like yours are going to flourish during these horrible times, and yours is one of many which keep me distracted
Stumbled up on this old vid John.This is a example on why your a stand up guy to show a fail like this.very few would.Hey this is life great vid thanks to you and your family!!
You needed a Ventrac for a long time! Glad it finally happened!
I know right!!
Thank you Ventrac for letting Upstate use your machine.
If you never get stuck you do not know the limits of the machine. I did get a chuckle out of it. Once you get the hang of it you will be able to cut down time on weed whipping.
Thank you and stay safe.
God Bless.
Ps now Ventrac will have a video of how to get stuck lol.
I have 20 acres to cut with a lake in the middle that has a steep slope and I cut it with a Toro 72” zero turn mower . But I wish I could afford a Ventrac. That machine is awesome.
John, nobody will ever tell Josh and Willie honestly haha,but you and your wife still done a good job.👍👍🇬🇧
Thank You Ventrac !!!
Well if your goal was to show off the machine you failed. Now if your goal was to show off your Wife and her awesome ability to operate that excavator under pressure in a tight spot you've succeeded my friend! You lucky Sonofagun! Truely blessed my Friend and you better be on your knees every morning thanking God for it! Good Job!
Congrats on the Ventrac, you deserve it. Keep working hard and good things always happen. Don’t forget this is a hell of a good deal for Ventrac also, they are lucky to have you. Please always give an honest review. Tell us what you like AND don’t like.
Beautiful family John and a great video ones again
Thank you for talking about Gods blessings. Nice work with the Ventrac.
8:14 hahaha. we've all been there. great video. have always wondered how well these machines do. thanks for sharing!
Congrats!!🎉🍾🎈🎊
I'm late to the party but John you are quite possibly the most humble guy on UA-cam. You and your crew are such good workers. You deserve this opportunity.
That's very kind of you, but I assure, that's not the case! :)
John , I love your honesty in showing us what happens in both good times and bad , that was a very tricky position to get out of . That’s a great little machine and I think Ventrac made a good decision in letting you test it , they will reap good publicity .
My Wife has rescued me more times than I can count. Lol Glad to see you have a Ventrac, I think it will be a good fit for you. So you got it stuck oh well, doesn't matter what machine when the tires or tracks slick over with mud your stuck. Looking forward to seeing more videos with it always wanted one your already making me want one more watching it tackle the steep sides like that. Can't wait to see it take on some thick grass and brush.
Thanks for the video, in particular, the drone footage provided the gradient view as well as ground level. Maybe the front-wheels would have helped but as you say more time on the machine will tell you what to do going forward. I would still be stuck. Thumbs up for the family to be there. Thanks again.
Nice video John. Change title of this video to something like "I got my new Ventrac 4500z stuck on Day 1!" and use a screenshot of the 8:15 as your thumbnail. Should get a lot more eyeballs on this video with that. I've never seen a Ventrac so stuck before! Glad you got her out.
Sometimes you’ve got to get a little mud on the tires! Hats off to your wife for a great rescue! Awesome machine!
Congrats on the new machine and prop's to the wife, it's awesome that she can operate it that was cool. God bless yall 💯 love the videos fan from Gaffney South Carolina ✌️
Real nice real review of the equipment. Awesome work can’t wait to see what else you can do with it.
Hey My Pro Crew, John, that a nice machine they brought you you was cutting it doing everything real good to you got stuck and Until your Wife came and save the day and she did a great job at it too. ( Superwoman). Lol 😁. N y'all have beautiful kids. John, I'm waiting to see what else that machine does. That's going to be interesting and you know I'm watching. Lol 😁. Enjoy it all. N y'all be continue to be blessed and safe. Bama Queen Victoria Byrd.
John, this is just the beginning for you and the crew,ok. I see really big things coming y'all way. This is just the beginning of bigger blessing. Amen Jehovah. 🙏🙏🙏💰💰💰♥️♥️♥️👍👍✌️.
What can I say that everyone else already hasn't? congrats to you and your success with youtube and you business , good things do come to those who deserve them and work for it
Good things happen to good people!
I'm happy for you John ! I think the ventrack did better then I thought it would , I'm impressed !
Excellent work John 👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing. LOL But crap happens to the worst of us LOL. When you got stuck it reminded me of when I worked at a golf course. My job was cutting the grass near the fence, under trees and other rough areas. One day I got to a location the grass was really tall, did not think of it being swampy, I started cutting and I got stuck, had to walk to maintenance yard for someone to pull me out. LOL . The next few days I was swamp man LOL
Very cool opportunity. Finally someone is driving the thing like a boss. All the other ventrac youtube videos show way to many ideal conditions.
You deserve it you all work hard will help both of you
I’m way behind on watching videos so just watching this one and all I can say is congratulations! 🎉 you are such a humble hard working guy I’m glad to see something like this came your way!
Awesome glad you are blessed ! Keep up the good work
The Ventrac is such a great design... really nothing else like it. I look forward to seeing how it works for you as we've had our eyes on one.
I am glad to see your good fortune. It is nice to see your lady and family as well. It seems the Ventrac is not your only blessing. She is a great example to other young ladies that machinery operation can be done by both men and women. I can assure you the fact your family works and works well together is a priceless blessing.to your children. My birth family did not work. Your slip up had great value in this area. Most dads just worry about their kids asking for a car, not their own skidsteer.
I wish you and your all God's blessings. You clear deserve and cherish those you get.. I am not a church going man. Good men and women like you and your lady help restore my often battered faith in both God and people.Your videos do far more than just show off your skills. May God protect you and yours.
God has given us many gifts, mostly His free gift of salvation. We have been blessed with a family who has the desire to work. Thanks for watching and the kind comments.
This is a well deserved machine. I am really impressed on how well it does . As usually another GREAT job
It’s all gonna be good I been there done bubba but it happens to the best of us tho have a blessed day brother
Great Job!
Theres no tractor out there that can mow that pond and switch decks and go mow a lawn or golf course to a perfect cut!
It's because your a good man. Keep up the great work.
Way to go John and Upstate Brush Control! ou guys do a quality job for your customers and you are absolutely correct. Praise God for His blessings!
One of your best vids yet, your human as the rest of us
We have over 100 ventrac 4500s we love them. We run the Kubota gas motors. They are great.. I've heard some people have a lot of issues with the belts..
Getting stuck is a blow to the ego. Turning a machine upside down can be a blow to a life. I'm voting for the first option.
The ventrac is an awesome machine but thank you for being first to show on video that even ventrac can get stuck. But anything Else would have gotten stuck much earlier.
I subscribed for the Ventrac videos, but I'm staying because like your channel. That's what I wanted to see how far to you push this unit , if you going to spend 27 thousand you wanted to know how much the machine can and can't handle. Jody got mad skills :-0)
A gift....so exciting‼️
Dudes wife sees this video and realizes she hasn't seen him giddy and thunder struck like this in 20 years.
Hell to pay
I've had mine stuck worse than that at the 400 acres farm in TN lol. Best thing I've found to do when doing steep banks with something at the bottom i don't want to end up in is make sure I have the weight transfer spring engaged and mow up and down and limit the side to side mow when near the bottom.
Now we know why in your last video you said you was a bit excited for some upcoming videos...Who does not get excited trying out new toys....Well played to Ventrac showing us some of there hardware hope a lot of sales come from this video....Only Issue from 8:00 would a track system be better than all terrain system....Awesome for you to introduce the wife and family start the kids off early I say with learning the family trade...John`s teaching wife Excavation use 1 o 1 ...Great Video...Stay Safe
The machine s really slick doing what you did, sounds/looks like you have this machine for "keeps" Impressive to say the least. Keep it up.
god bless you. I believe yall well really like the ventrac look forward to the videos to come with it
I like your gate opening method. Who needs a key just take it off the hinges...... Stoney Ridge Farmer has one of those machines and he uses it a lot. Don't know his agreement with Ventrac. Don't know if he bought it or thay have a similar arrangement. They are very versatile machines. Think I would rather have a chevron type tire for your application. They don't load up as quickly in muddy conditions. Hate you got it stuck on its maiden voyage but they said "see what it will do" and so you did. Nice of your wife to come rescue you.
Hell of a machine
You’re a good dude John. Keep the videos coming.
Man, that’s an awesome machine.
Santa will never bring you another Ventrac again John if you break this one. 🤣🤣 Flower’s for the wife.
She got stuck real good I thought one she wasn't coming out cheer to your wife I see you taught her good how to operate the mini excavator
That’s awesome have always wanted to try one myself 😁
Come on down I'm sure we can find a slope.
Watched, Liked, Subscribed, Shared, Commented, Watched again.... enjoyed the video the Ventrac and the work it gets done!
Thank you so much!
@@UpstateBrushControl I love your videos sir!
Mows great when it's not stuck! 😁
We all live and learn
Congrats there a great company to work with and you will love the machine I’ve been using a ventrac for the better part off 15 years!
Boy you sure owe her flowers..... and a nice meal out...
That’s awesome!!!
Those machines are badass !! I've been looking at them for a while now but just didn't think they would be able to handle some of the things I do... unfortunately they are heavy and don't offer enough floatation for what I do.... Sorry you got stuck... Things happen sometimes. Just glad you were okay
Good vid... Love those machines. I literally laughed out loud at 8:13. "Dang it..."
MAN listen I need you to give that back lol. I live here in the upstate and been looking at getting one of these and starting a business because I haven't seen anyone with one around here. Going to be taking jobs from me before I even start
Excavator operator, drone pilot, mother, a girl of many talents.
Those are amazing
It's a dirty job and somebody has got to do it. I think Ventrac engineers just got a new memo to find a solution...maybe pontoons and a propeller 🤣. Seriously when I get blessed to get my lawn service up and running I want one or more than one. God bless, brother and family.
Ha!! Been there done that... I also got it stuck on a 30 deg hill with a tree between the duels. I was up hill and the tree was down hill. Ain't gonna be the last either. Stay safe
Keep it there awesome
Not sure if Ventrac shared this with you, but if you get a chance check out Stoney Ridge Farmer. He has the same type of relationship with Ventrac. A great machine, made in America! Great channel you have, really enjoy watching!
Hey...it happens...cool machine
I have had mine for 3 years. You will love it. Put the front tires back on. They will keep it from bottoming out.
I burned up 2 belts before I figured that out.
They were right. I love watching the Ventrac tear it up. Hope Toro doesn’t ruin them.
Awesome!
Great video
Nice machine
Nice machine...
