Ventrac Boom Mower!! Compact Tractor Mowing Ditch!

  • Опубліковано 10 вер 2018
  • Tractor Time with Tim used the Ventrac compact tractor with the boom mower attachment to mow an overgrown ditch for the customer we need to lose - Joe! This was the first use of the boom mower for both TTWT and Joe. In the past, Joe used a weed eater to cut down the overgrown weeds but Vinny and the Boom Mower saved him hours for work this year!

    Hey Tim...i love the sickle mower attatchment and the fact that it;s in the front and not hard mounted to the side or in the back...it doesn't leave any big patches to have to come back to with a hedge trimmer or string trimmer...and we are grateful that Joe has made such a miraculous recovery..he truly had a guardian angel looking after him on that day..i wish the other person no ill or foul harm but karma has it's ways of biting people back..blessed be from Alabama hill country

    Joe seems like a great guy. Praise God he didn't get killed or hurt any worse than he did I'm sure he had a tough recovery burns can be some of the worst and most pain full injuries to recover from. I Pray they catch the other driver someday. Tim with all the attachments they have to offer I think the ventrac is perfect for a property layout like Joe has nothing against Johnny but I think the ventrac would be a better for him. I was really impressed with the cycle mower and how well it did. I thought you were doing a great Job for the first time using it and Joe seemed to get the hang of it pretty quick as well. Great video as always and another great Job by TTWT. Have a great week. God Bless!!!

    When we used sickle mowers like that for hay (in the old days...), the tip had a bar on the end that stuck up so you could tell where the tip was. Made it easier to tell but it may add another place for grass or cause a clearance problem going under lower stuff. Pretty cool tool though.

  • @johngritman4840
    @johngritman4840 5 років тому +1

    Tim, just forget about it! You are just having fun with a new toy. My son ended up buying 19 acres with a small house and a nice 20x40 workshop - big enough to get his big W900L Kenworth into it without the RGN trailer. He bought a used Yanmar 2 cylinder diesel tractor and a 42" brush hog. It cuts very well but there is one problem. The shift lever is in the middle of the tractor; i.e. between your legs. My son is 6'5" with big broad shoulders. To get into hi, he has to stand up and sit atop the seat. Funny to watch.
    He will need to get a tractor of some size since he has 7 acres on one side of the creek and 12 acres on the other side. There is a ford but the Yamar is not adequate to the task. An elderly couple owned the property but when the husband became ill and then ied, the big pasture got no attention. So we need to get someone with a foresty mulcher and clear five acres for the two horses. Some of the saplings are about 1 1/2". I think the only alternative is a wee-wacker with a saw blade on it, pick up the saplings and then use a brush hog, use a disc harrow and over seed. Any thoughts?

    I wish I had seen your videos on the Ventrac about four months ago before I signed the dotted line for my 1025R. That is a very nice machine. I love that most of it' implements are out front for etter visibility. The only thing my 1025 would be better at is the backhoe. I don't think the Ventrak is very well set up for one.
    I love that boom mower! For my little ditch I simply run a small 3-1/2hp push mower up and down my short, but steep slope using a rope! My 1025 nor my zero turn can get down into that ditch without slipping all the way into muck. I use a lot of Roundup and mow it down twice a year. That Ventrak would make it fun to mow several times a year, though.

    Bomford turner makes the micro klippa that would fit your tractor. It's pto driven. There's dealers in the states that carry it. You can also trim bushes with that. There's a number of companies that offer 3ph boom style mowers that include the sycle bar, rotary, and flail mowers. Bush hog, tiger, alamo, in the states. Alamo is used on bigger machines. Tim, you got to check out Alamo mowers, they got a remote controlled mower with different attachments.

    • @Drew6709
      @Drew6709 6 років тому +3

      Unfortunately I mean a machine larger than Casey. A machine in the 40-60 hp range. With one of those machines, either a flail or rotary mower could be implemented. And dig the drainage ditch out with a ditching bucket. If Tim gets a track loader, there are boom mowers for track/skid steers.
      Those thick stands of grass would be better dealt with by a flail or rotary mower. Just a few ideas.

    I like how this attachement is is on the front of the machine. Our Ford 501 sickle mower is on the back and you can't see what it's doing plus when you come to the end of a ditch it leaves a big section that isn't cut. The ventrac with this attachement is superior.

I have sloped area along the roadway that runs parallel with my property, probably about 200 feet in length, 10-12’ wide and it’s all sloped at about 40 degree angle. I have to clear it with loppers and weed eater. Now that I’ve gotten it cut down I will just weed eat the grass and weeds that grows before it gets too out of control again

    Tim, I think Tom Sawyer is your hero. Only you miss out on all the fun. That machine is just as sweet as southern tea! I can't wait to see what you do with it next. Does it take long to switch attachments? I see the dual wheels increase stability substantually. Even with all that tire on the ground you still managed to give the rear wheels some air time. Looks like the Lord was watching over Joe in his Polaris. That was a nasty experience. Thankfully his recovery seems miraculus. I guess we know Who was responsible. See you on the next one.

      You can easily switch attachments in minutes. I've done it quite a bit and I can switch between most attachments in less than a minute. The loader takes a bit longer more like 2 minutes. It's fast enough that the only reason to worry about minimizing switches is not wanting to get off the tractor. :-)

    I think i will have a talk with Ventrack. There are a lot of areas on some of my jobs this would work better then my Weed wacker. Dear Lord i pray for Joe. I thank you that he is getting better every day. In Jesus name Amen.

    The tall thick stemmed weeds are called horse weeds in my area. Johnson grass is more grass like except it grows taller and thicker with heavy bunches of seeds.
