    This is the last of our 5 part Ventrac 4520 series with Copper Creek Cuts. If you missed any of them, we created a playlist here: ua-cam.com/play/PLG5yS75HLzo1dfUROSptV4SNmyPngt5XI.html

    What's really amazing is that with these machines is how much work they can achieve with 35HP or less engine power , and THEN drive whatever cutting attachment you choose through a single small V-belt. This puts to shame the high-dollar mulchers (though the Ventracs are not cheap, by any means). And can work on on 40 degree slopes. Wow!

    This was a fun time to be sure! I will have to make another trip when I have some more attachments!

      Hey Copper Creek Brad! Do they make a forestry mulcher head...because we could put that to the test!! Thanks again for demonstrating the Ventrac at Piney Grove. 👍💪 Brad&Deb

      @@PineyGroveHomestead I wish. I would've bought one by now if it had a forestry mulcher on it. But I do know it's supposed to be already headed up to the research and development crews. Hopefully soon.

    Great footage of just how thick that stuff was and how well the Ventrac perfomed. My favorite part was Deb whispering “Did he break your machine?” Lol. Nah, just stalled it out. I think you found it’s limits, but they are high! Nice job! Great editing too!

      @@PineyGroveHomestead the Steiner tractors that are similar are a little cheaper and now bobcat is entering the market and they might be even cheaper we have two acres in middleburg Florida and a tractor like that would come in handy including the bucket attachment and the rough cut and even the normal mower and we can use it on our dirt road to use a drag to grade it there are similar tractors within the same category of tractor that will be more affordable the bobcat is virtually a Steiner but it’s just labeled a bobcat but the prices on bobcat would be cheaper

    If you raise the deck up as you're coming up to the taller stuff, then lower the deck as you back up, it won't just under cut as much as you were doing.

    This is the wrong equipment for this work. U need a closed cab with an osha safety approved cab for the operator's safety. If u ever hit a hornets nest u will wish u had an closed cab. Also the widow makers that can fall on the operator. Also look how those branches r all in the cab of the operator's area. Snakes can be on those branches. This isn't the equipment to be doing a job like this.
