What really sets the 3400 apart is the center articulating frame. It is a more maneuverable machine and offers increased stability while operating on slopes, plus leaves a lighter footprint to minimize turf disturbance.
I'm sure they will be as well built as the 2 - 4231 tractors I have had. 1 with around 900 hours trouble free and now the 2nd one with around 500 trouble free hours. :thumbsup:
One great thing about the Ventrac units is they can be used with many attachments and are good for much more than just mowing. :biggrin:
I've got the chains and snow blower on the 4231 now and am waiting for around 16" of snow forecast for Central Virginia. My neighbors will LOVE me !
