The Ventrac is used for much more than just mowing and, yes it gets attention (not more than the wife) all my machinery and tools get attention. Just my opinion, but it is a waste of money to let equipment go without maintaining it. Take care of things and they work longer and better plus they are worth more if you ever want to sell them.:smile:
You hit that one right on the head, only someone with more money than brains would buy an expensive grass cutter and neglect it. My 4210 mows 5 acres, plus several miles of ATV trails, moves huge rocks for landscaping, pulls and hauls brush and cut down trees and firewood, in the winter it clears our long driveway and five more of our neighbors driveways, I have even used the loader bucket to mix concrete a few times. It's hard to justify spending twenty grand on a CUT unless you will actually use it extensively.
Want to pass along a funny story here, when I bought my new JD I stored it up in my barn, my wife was still working part time and I was retired, it was my money that paid for it, well I made a game out of how long I could keep her from knowing about my new toy, after a few months she finally caught on. Her brother told me he could never get away with buying something like that because he didn't have enough room to hide it, I told him "if you don't have enough room to hide a tractor like mine, YOU DON'T NEED ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE" :laughing:
