Our friend Brain helps take care of a cemetery that has a steep hill on one side that he can't mow with a zero-turn or tractor. Tractor Time with Tim helps out by using the Ventrac 4520 with Tough Cut mower (including dual wheels).

Tim, I am Southeast Missouri. In this area active cemeteries are typically owned by funeral homes. However, there are a few (very few) active ones still associated with churches. However typically these congregations are older and upkeep suffers because of this. Also it is usually these older members that are placed there. Much more common for older cemeteries, is again associated with churches, but neither are currently active, often the church building is no longer there. The least common is a family plot, often the surrounding land is no longer owned by the family snd often there is no family in the area. These last 2 groups are often overgrown and totally uncared for. It is great to see that this one is taken care of and you helping to clear next to the field.

Those dual wheels going on and off relatively easy is a great design in itself. If one needs something like the Ventrac it would certainly be worth the price.

I found duals too obstructive on my steiner 430. Now I'm only using it for personal use but single with 3" spacers will do 95% of what i need. If it's too wet i can wait for drier weather, and there's nothing too steep for spacers on my current property. I've also found that using the weight transfer springs and rear ballast really keeps the machine planted and going where I want it to on side hills.

Great video tim Vinnie sure does a great job on the slopes and thank you and Kristy or helping out the cemetery that really helped them out hopefully we get to see the power rake in action.

@Ragnar1822 17 күн бұрын

Hey Tim, thank you again. I know you have connections. Let me know if you get ahold of a dozer. And we can move some some dirt to make that mowable.. Yes the power rake could do the job. But one of your tractors and a dump trailer. With a dozer pushing grade would be awesome to do for this cemetery and for the people mowing.. Thank you again for your time and energy for our entertainment and education..

It’s so hard to tell the topography from the video, but I wonder if you could adjust the grade from the edge of the road to the corn field and at least have a consistent slope? With the farmers permission and after the field is harvested of course. Great video and good luck!

Part of my property in Florida had a fenced in area of a good size. It hadn't been mowed in years. The Live oak tree all the limbs were touching the ground. I started with a Cub cadet trimmer and it burnt up. So off I went to the stihl dealer and bought a 130R trimmer and working for a few days in the hot sun got the weeds down and they were up to my waist. I had a brand new Gravelly commercial zero turn mower but I wasn't sure what I might find and it was a good thing. One of the previous owners was a cop and that was where he kept his police dog and I found a metal bar with a log chain, which would have damaged my new mower. After getting rid of the bar and chain I could keep it mowed down. My property here in Missouri has been a challenge on it's own with all the junk laying everywhere.

@kaytod 18 күн бұрын

Tim. Some dirt work would be helpful for his mowing. It would be interesting for a video too. Also, check out Altoz zero turn mowers. They have tracked models that are quite stable on embankments, although they may not be a capable as Vinny. They also have a rough cut deck option that has chain guards and swinging blades like your bat wing mower. Neat zero turn mowers for those who need dedicated mowers. No, I don't have one, nor need one. I just think they have some great concepts. Todd

When the Ventrac starts crab walking on a steep slope, nudge the deck upwards to put more weight on the front wheels and the tractor will track much better.

Tim I have a friend from a city where I lived a few years ago that gas a youtube channel (mowing mostly). He has a Ventrac, and usually does steep areas up and down instead on running across the slope. I do not think he has duals for his.

@TractorTimewithTim 18 күн бұрын

Yes, definitely easier to mow slopes up and down. However, how could I do that in this area? Would take forever, assuming I could make the turn at the bottom without hitting corn.
