Hello, I'm Joan Miller and I maintain 29 acres with a Ventrac.
A little bit about our property is it is a combination of woods, fields, it's flat and it's slopey
and there's ravines and there's a lot of wildlife and habitat where we live
My husband he has a full-time practice and he's very busy and I work part-time
as the executive director of the Habitat for Humanity of Holmes County.
So we value our weekends and before I started using the Ventrac we were
spending most of our weekends mowing and after I started using the Ventrac I
could get all the mowing done in one day which freed up our weekends to spend
time together as a family to sit around the campfires and in and
have downtime and I think that's what weekends are for.
What sold me was the safety. I wasn't sliding down the hill sideways when I
was having to mow some of the steep slopes.
Probably over course of three years I had rented different types of machinery.
I felt very unsafe on the other pieces of equipment that I tried and of course
I felt it was maybe something I did as an operator but what I have realized is
it was nothing that I did as an operator it was simply a machine that was not
capable of handling the job.
Well my husband- he really enjoys the fact that
when I'm out mowing that he knows I'm going to be safe he knows that I am in
the seat of a machine that can take care of me
In the horse world they use the word versatility in the show ring. The Ventrac
definitely wins the blue ribbon in the versatility class and with all the
attachments you are making an investment. You know that your property changes your
needs change. For the winter use the brush. We have a lot of trees around our
property and it takes me a significant amount of time to put on a heavy
backpack blower and go around the property and and blow leaves.
The tough cut definitely is an attachment that has a lot of guts. We have a lot of overgrown
multifloor roses that I think you know could go either go 7 to 10 feet high I
bought a very heavy-duty weed eater with all the blades in the attachment and I'm
kind of a little person and after a couple of hours trimming and sawing and
switching blades and you know I could not even complete in two years all of
the work that I can do in one day with a tough cut
A Ventrac is something that you can just go out, start up, and take care of the job
It definitely is a lot easier to operate a Ventrac than it would be a zero turn
and I think with bigger types of pieces of equipment I feel like they're less
manageable and I have used bigger tractors and so what's nice about it is
that it's manageable and it's enough guts and grit to safely get the job done
once you get used to using it and it's just like getting into your car and
going for to the grocery store.
So oftentimes I think you know people with larger properties to maintain they
spend you know that that whole time on their days off outside working with the
Ventrac it alleviates all that time and just really gives us the opportunity to
spend time together on the weekends.
