Ventrac – more than just a mower

Price Turfcare, UK and Ireland distributor for Ventrac multi-implement, all-terrain compact tractor, is exhibiting at APSE Fleet, Waste & Grounds Seminar for the first time, with a Ventrac 4520 compact tractor and a selection of attachments. Since its launch in 2017, this combination of highly manoeuvrable, articulated, 4WD compact tractor and multiple attachments has quickly established a recognised place in the ground care industry.

The traction unit has 30-degree slope capability, a low ground pressure, ideal for wet or fragile turf areas and over 30 attachments., It's a versatile equipment combination for golf courses, municipalities and service providers who have multiple grounds maintenance tasks to perform. This is a machine that has 8 different mowing attachments from flails, tough-cut rotaries and finishing mowers. In addition there are attachments to blow leaves, move snow, de-ice pathways, reinvigorate gravel walkways, aerate, cut turf, dig trenches, grind stumps, prepare seedbeds and overseed to name but a few. A year round machine, not just a mower.

Jim Simmons, Course Manager, Royal Eastbourne GC, gives an example of how Ventrac improved their capability and efficiency:- “Slopes, derived from chalk pits, were previously maintained by four greenkeepers with strimmers. Mowing one slope alone was a four-hour, four-man task; so approximately 24 man-hours. The Ventrac and Tough-Cut mower allows one person to complete this work in about 1.5 hours” - Representing a massive 94% saving in labour for this one task alone.
