So where are we at today we are at Tim's house. Tractor Time with Tim. Just
northwest of Indianapolis. We brought some equipment out to play with here
today if you see this channel you know that he's got ventrac stuff on it
already but we wanted to bring him a special new
attachment that at the moment nobody has seen yet and we're gonna do a little bit
of mowing on his property with our new white area mower so for doing the white
area mower then why is the boom mower on the tractor but we also want to bring
the boom over to use but we had to put the white area mower on the back of our
tractor on the three-point hitch to get it over the wheel wells on this trailer
that's one of the first questions people ask when they do see this thing cuz it's
so big how do i trailer it so if you want your tractor if you want the deck
on the front of the trailer you're gonna have to put it on the three-point and
raise it above the wheel wells on the front of the tractor you can load it up
just on the back of the trailer you can either have it sitting on the overhang
or you can flip the deck up itself and just have it in transport mode vertical
and it will only occupy a foot or so of the trailer so there are some options
but this is one way to do it how big is the white area mower the wide area mower
is 95 inches worth of cut and its overall width is about 96 this one looks
a lot cleaner this one looks will love yeah
well used well he was useful about 8:30 yeah in a very very gusty environment I
do not mean any additional weeks within six hours we got a branch in there it
was an easy six hours who knows where this thing's been yeah
yeah so yeah I mean basically it's gonna be
the exact same setup as you got before yeah I've got three point hitch this one
has a hydraulic top link hydraulic top link that'll be nice yeah that's nice
and you control that with these levers over here okay we're really sorry about
it cuz it's like I said it's a big fast mower right that's the best thing it's
big and fast it should get a lot of work done and save people a lot of times
what's your thoughts I like it this is really nice I love how close I could
trim around the electric fence and I felt like I could see very well and I
didn't have to worry about that side discharge that's so much nicer I don't
have to worry about which direction I'm going and I really like it
thank you Aaron let me try that I might try it at high speed and see if I can go
a little faster yet see where the limits are at the moment
hmm don't break it Aaron eau-de-vie if I break it I'll fix it I don't think it's
breakable
so Tim what's it like to have other people know your lawn for you well I'm
doing the Tom Sawyer thing yet again no no worries about that I it seems like
most of the time I'm able to find somebody else to do my work for me it's
pretty good position to be in yeah I kind of like that maybe yeah
maybe you and Aaron can stick around
this is incredibly challenging to cut this type of thing
Pop's tail that's growing up here it's so much heavier than regular grass
hard to make this
it does not take long at all I mean we just what do you mode 5 minutes here and
you mode half my yard no I mean it wasn't half but it's a big big big
portion that that's the thing with this deck it's just it's fast Christy's gonna
love this I think you're scoring points with me Aaron do you think this will
account for flowers or you know any jewelry or anything we just got it you
need to set it up right when we go back in you just need to like you know you
really didn't want to bring this out here I had to try really hard to get
yeah yeah that's what we'll do that's what we'll hear it was your idea
and I had to be convinced young married man here he's got it down trying to be I
just tried to be an old married man try my best
and you and Christy of both then soft on this thing okay I mean I've seen you out
here and you're just mowing the flat level ground you're just kind of driving
along I think you're too timid okay I want to try it on something tougher
let's try a hill all right do it
it's one of your predictions on this can tell you that there's a spot right down
here that a six-foot mower even has a little trouble with a hump the humps not
very wide it's kind of a peak and I'm actually going to try to position this a
worst case just to see if I could make it Scout to be honest after all I don't
care if it looks bad I'm gonna try to make it look bad now the road side of
the ditch is steeper and really the ventrac shines on that steepness but
with a 72 inch deck it's just the same width as the duals and so I can set it
right down in there and it sets fine so I'm curious to see if the extra what
foot or so on the outside makes it more difficult to mow that's the to test
we're going to do here
so what do we see here what you don't actually see is probably what's more
important in this specific spot so you see this wheel here contacting pretty
close to the ridge but this would be the top of the ridge and you would probably
be ripping this all the way down if you're long before there's another anti
scalp wheel just like this one and the inside of the day
oh just next to the blade on the inside that's probably closer to this zone
helping keep this deck oh so I thought I thought I was really stressing it by
trying to not to have this wheel right on the hump like you Chris pointed out
what you're saying since there's another one under there that have you cheated
yeah I did I haven't showed you the bottom of the deck yet but it's there I
mean it I thought maybe it was the rear striping roller that helps Oh does it
hold it does help yeah but folks if we look here and we can't
see any even low cutting right it's yeah now of course the ends hanging up up
here but that's okay I mean better hang up and scalping this
is so far you're passing Aaron well thank you much as much as I hate it
hey this is Tim with tractor time with Tim check out our full review of this
wide-area mo mower oh we're on our towel
