    Sickle Bar for Ventrac 4231

    I'm still looking for a Sickle Bar for the Ventrac and understand that Steiner had one at one time that would fit. Does anyone have any recommendations or know where I could get one ? Thanks !

    Plowing with the Ventrac

    I have the grader blade and the excavator bucket, but the blower works great for anything deep ! v bar chains on all 4 makes this go in nearly anything !

    4231 Engine

    Looks like plastic items you could use a pick up tool similar to this to get them out ! I rotated and cleaned up your picture some.

    Sickle Bar Mower

    I'd love to have a Sickle Bar mower that will fit the 4231 - It would need to be 6' to 8' to reach close to the pond on the inside of my Dam. I don't want to spend a small fortune and don't (won't) do ebay or paypal. Is there anything available for the Ventrac - even if it needs to be self...

    engine stalls

    Get a pick up tool - many versions available fairly cheap - reach in and grab the item without removing tank. Auto parts store should have the tool.

    Critter picture tread,(post what you have)

    Great Pictures ! Looks like you were nearly under him - surprised you could get that close (Unless you have exceptional zoom lens). This one is a Red Tail - in a tree off our back porch.

    Critter picture tread,(post what you have)

    I knew what you intended and you used it correctly. I'm not a language expert, but that one is quite obvious to me. It has become common for people to say (or type / keyboard) "could care less" when they mean "could not care less" ("couldn't care less"). We have some BIG Toads here, but I...

    A Tale of Two Ventracs

    The blower is serious - we had two 2' snows and the blower had no problem doing 9 LONG drives and over 1/4 mile to the main road.:thumbsup:

    A Tale of Two Ventracs

    I had no problems with the fenders and on the first 4231 (I had an 04 and now have the 2011) the rear frame was a bit close - the new 4231 has more space between the frame and the tire. I use chain tighteners so there is no space between the tire and chain. attachmentid=7036&stc=1&d=1340809934

    JD Gator blades...very disappointed with cutting performance

    Oregon also makes what they call an "Exmark Mulching Blade" that has an upper and lower cutting edge on each blade. They work well, but (I found out the hard way :eek:) they will bend if you hit anything and I have not found out a way to get them bent back straight again. They do come in...

    turns and tire marks

    Just FYI There are 2 options on the Ventrac for bush hoging - Their Tough Cut mower deck and I have used the Meg-Mo blades on the finish cut mower deck - they do a great job and the knives kick back like bush hog blades if you hit anything. :thumbsup: These are the Meg-Mo blades on the...
