- Ventrac 4500Z mowing a section of 1/2 mile long ditch with the 72" FastCut Flail Mower in about 2'-3' tall, dense grass.
Thank You For Watching! & Have A Wonderful Day!
That is some of the most beautiful overgrown grasses I've ever seen. Moment of silence for that grass.
The Ventrec is truly the Gold standard of mowing grass period. Second to none. OI enjoyed this video allot. Thanks for sharing.
I am impressed more and more everytime I see this set up! This is a true workhorse!!

This was the most satisfying video I've seen in a long time. I've never seen Gras that green and thick when it was that tall.
Now this is what i like a nice expensive mower video you can actually hear and see grass getting cut
Amazing no trash on the side of the road must be nice
I live in North Alabama. It’s pitiful when we mow row’s here.
Wow! So satisfying to watch! I would LOVE to have a lawn that green and healthy!!
Yeah But for me I will buy a big battery mower in china. They are pretty reliable and doesn't produced CO2 that will increase the green house effect...🐖
I just like to save the planet however 🐖💨...🌏
So would I!
All I can say is holy crap!! I have never seen a mower eat grass so efficiently and easily in all of the videos I've watched to date. This Ventrac is amazing. I'll watch a few more videos to make up my mind.
Hi Damien I too was impressed that is why I have asked him if he can use normal rotating blades. If that Ventrac can use the Kavli Beast blades what a monster it would be.
better have $20,000 or more
michael dugger I have a Husky that cuts as well as the Ventrac. That is why I asked if he is able to put Kavli blades on his Ventrac. The Kavli Beast blades actually reduce the clippings much finer than the Ventrac. It would be great if he could put them on his Ventrac.

Man the ventrac is serious... Love the finish too.. Its all laying there but it's not a disaster like a brush hog... Nice video... Thanks for your time!
I'm starting to see some Ventracs in my area. People that buy them say they really like them. Plus, they're made in Ohio which is really cool.
love watching these machines work and the real time was great being able to listen to the sound of it working you dont see many of them were i live in Australia
Great setup. The Ventrac mows that thick stuff effortlessly!

I want this machine more than I want a Chanel seasonal handbag 😍
I like the fact that this cutter mulches up what's cut better in one pass vs. the tuff cut mower that just leaves it in a pile.
The level of articulation that flail has is amazing, ventrac designed the hell out of that
That thing is a BEAST!
Big job very thick the ventrac handled that with worries at all what a machine and the pilot as well.Great job allround.
WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST cut that SO thick high grass AWESOME VIDEO I JUST JOIN YOUR CHANNEL FROM COLUMBUS TEXAS
Better get the rake and baler ready 🤣 that thing cuts like a beast though!!
Nice setup I want a ventrac so bad one day I’ll get one thanks for sharing
34k your crazy
That is one amazing machine with a very skilled operator!
Too bad that couldn't have been used as pasture. A horse or two or maybe some vegans and a few goats.
I can just imagine the vegans, sneaking out there after dark...collecting their dessert.
What is a vegan?

Very enjoyable vid sir....I was tensing up when you mowed up the road shoulder tho...glad you didn't kick up debris and possibly hit one of those vehicles...🍻
This is one of the most relaxing and satisfying videos I have ever seen haha
these are such nice machines... if i didnt already have a kubot b series this is the ticket.
I've never seen this mower before. I like it.

That's a beautiful mower it's one of my favorites along with the wz1000
Nice to see someone spray their fence line.
beautiful dark green grass there. a shame to not feed the cows with it
Wow. Grass muncher of note. Very impressive.
That’s a cool mower
Really cool.. nice machine.. keep them coming
Loved it. Thank you
The Ventrac is doing great n all as it should, but I'm wondering what kind of grass that is??? This is where I'm amazed!!!
Tractor and a batwing all day. I do like the ventracs tho.
It Cost more than my full size jd 45 hp tractor
Sure... you COULD get it done faster with a tractor and a batwing.... and leave ruts, and longer clippings, and a generally worse appearance than the tall grass. He wasn't hired to cut hay.
That is some dam lush grass
At :03, I would ask, "you would like a beer?" LOL! 😄
Way to go very good Job Nice!!!
Serious bit of kit there , made short work of that very thick grass .
Barely even dropped the revs
34k dollars
Ventrac, what dreams are made of 🤤
Its just like harvesting a corn field beautiful.
Also there on a mountain so normal mowers won't work.
Nice job and video like always
Wow, just wow❣️
👍👌💯👏
He started cuttin up when he hit the hill.. goin tf IN
Quite the lawn mower! 👍👏 nice work
Wow that is really tall grass. What a machine.
You should try ventrac's dual wheel kit they would help with the steep banks great job and I just saw that you do have them in another video
Very clean cut, not just torn-up.
Well Done. One More Subscriber, now from Brazil! Congrats!
Awesome! Thank you!
I love viewing the job from your POV and the Ventrac's POV. The Ventrac 4500 is a monster mower. Talk about a precision cutting! The grass is green and thick. Question; Do you feel the vibration from head to foot, while you are sitting at the wheel?
WOW! Scary, thought you were going to slide down there. What can you do with the cuttings. Food for animals?
What do you do with the cut grass??? Just wondering!! Good job be safe👍🙏🇺🇸👍🙏🇺🇸🦋
I have never mowed without dual wheels. But it does nook that steep.
nice thanks for the information
that grass is really beautiful n im probably the only one saying that bc when u move into the city n see grass here, its alot worse then the beautiful grass there!!
So much for the general recommendation of only cutting of 1/3 of the stalk. ha! I'm guessing this is city property and city doesn't care if grass lives or dies or picked up, if so, seems to be the right machine.
That is awesome
Biggest thing I miss about my old flail mower: only having to mow every 2-4 weeks
The real GOLD mine there would be to take a tight knit closed clothed sack and go around and harvest all that premium grass seed. That stuff is super expensive in the stores.
I tend to think, if you are mowin the grass on a 25thousand dollar lawn mower.... ya prolly ain't worried about 10 or 20 bux for ''premimum grass seed bag'' well for the legal lawn out front anyhow.... lol
yes, that was $25,000 for the basic machine... $6000 more for that cutter deck... even more for the hydrolik one... or something like that.... one day, after a trip to SACRAMENTO with my winnin lotto/powerball/superlotto or wutever winning ticket.... ;)
Sitting on a $45000 mower ?
Probably not
Usually what I do if my mower gets bogged down, if it’s my little push one, I would back it up and lift it up a little bit and then keep on mowing. But if it’s our big one, then what I would do is I would stop the blades, and then unclog by hand with the mower and engine off and then restart the engine
This is so satisfying
Powerful mower
Impressive mower. Good, even cut❤️✝️❗️
I need one of these for our sloped lawn
I fully realize that time = $$$. But would it be an idea to cut a swath at half the size, giving you a better cut with less strain on the machine?
Negative, take a look at this section of the video 4:20-4:50. Yes it does chop up the material more going over it again, but its not necessary because it already does an awesome job chopping up the material. The load on the engine is about the same cutting mostly already cut material, with a little uncut material. In the video, I try to maintain about 3000rpm on tachometer, because that's where the sweet spot seemed to be as far as keeping the most production (speed) and cut quality. Thanks For Watching!
@@westriverlawnsnow3452 For the most part, I am impressed with the cut of these machines. But only if you have a north or south 40 to mow every week will one of these beasts be practical. But we can dream, can't we?
Well the flail mower seems to mulch and distribute the clippings better but is maybe a bit slower. I couldn't tell if it was leaving more pushed over grass than the ToughCut but the areas that were double cut definitely looked better with the FastCut. Which one do you prefer?
Edit: This property is my favorite for "overgrown grass" videos. Maybe next time you could record the whole thing?
The speed at witch you can mow this type of vegetation, as far as density and height goes, is VERY similar to that of the Tough Cut. In our experience, NO, the FastCut flail mower does NOT leave streaks of uncut material like the Tuff Cut does from the front caster wheels, as longs as you place your outside caster wheel, outside of the uncut material that's been ran over by the inside caster wheel. That was one of thee biggest and I mean BIGGEST reasons we wanted to demo the FastCut flail mower. I would say 90% of what we have mowed with the Tough Cut, has just been tall, and at times, really tall (6'+) grass. We hands down prefer the FastCut Flail mower for mowing tall grass in "clean" areas where there isn't a bunch of protruding rocks, and large debris, for example. We wouldn't use the FastCut flail mower to mow an area that's riddled with rocks, large debris, etc., because its simply not meant for that. It does a much better job of actually cutting the material, and leaves an awesome finish compared to the Tuff Cut in grass.
I tried to answer your questions the best I could.
Thank You For Watching!
@@westriverlawnsnow3452 Is this the flail more that uses the y blades or the hammer blades?
@@jimmcknight3021 Y blades
@@westriverlawnsnow3452 That's what I figured with the grass cutting so clean. The hammer blades don't cut quite as clean, but they'll do a better job on cutting them the brush cutter. At least Ventrac now gives customers a choice for their particular applications. That's one of the things I like about them is to meet the various needs of the customer..
Bet your glad you discovered the bricks
wow Amazing machine my friend.
Nice job 👌
Wow! great video and good machine, I love it.
Nice machine
Very high-tech work 👍👍👍
I would like to see a run through of the unit, how it works, what it cut with and why there is no dust or discharge?
Description says flail mower... Ventracs have a diesel engine and work an attachment with a Power take off aka PTO... the flail mower on this one is a 6 foot width... Flails are a series of short chains each with a U shaped blade on the end of it... Each chain arpund 4 or 6 inches long... All attached to a barrel bar in the middle... As this bar spins the flails extend and cut the grass... The discharge if you look real close... You can see all this cut grass laying neatly right where it got cut... Hard to see but that is a flail mower in a rundown form... Hope this helps!
One engine option is the small kubota diesel , aspirated. All the others are gas....
Probably the best machines I’ve ever worked on
yea....makes you want to go mow somehting, anything. hahaha. looks like its making mulch out of that grass. how does it do in thickets where theres a lot of small trees and growth that you just want gone?
That is some very nice grass. It would make great hay. I don`t see a single weed in it.
looks good maybe rke it and bale it clean p the rocks and have a small hay feild
Beast mode achieved- do you also have the tough cut deck if so do you like this better for this type of work?
good work
good job bro...
I’m not sure I would call 2’-3’ stalks grass. Certainly not the kind of grass I have. Hard to beat the efficiency of a bush hog if chopping large properties at that height often.
So who planted this grass? It is stunning. What happens next?
Thats some tall pretty grss
What a beast
Ventracs are beasts. That thing DELETES grass!
You must be cutting grass in Oklahoma!
Look, I know nothing about the Ventrac series of machines, but why do all Ventrac operators drive the thing so slowly - is it because that it will not go faster? If it can go faster, can the operator set cutting height within a range( just like a walk-behind push mower ) and start high on the first cut and lower it when the grass is more manageable ( second, maybe third cut ). It appears to me that the machine is being coddled, when it might be pushed harder - quite a lot harder, especially given its size and power. Puzzled onlooker!
Beast Mode
Nice machine. I think I would have left the grass and went fishing instead.
Ok, I want one!!!
Darn that's healthy nice an green. Lol I don't know what grass this is. But this should of been harvested, Cut - Raked an sun dry it, teed it for a few days then bail it for low quality feed bails or stable and pen bedding hay for a lill $$$$$$..😊 But because of so close to hightway traffic, it be elegal by law !!!!.
Or maybe mow only a four pass strip next to the road and leave the rest alone. You will need a bailer in August though.
I found out that if I started at the top and worked myself down it did not slide
I thought it would cut faster than it does .
They cut incredibly fast
like a hot knife through butter
after I cut that I would have to bag it with my Walker.
Hi looks great just out of curiosity do you have the ability to use normal rotating blades that ride ons use like the deeres huskys scags,etc. Is there anything else you can to put on that Ventrac and use those blades?
The finish mower and the tough cut use "normal rotating blades". I hope that answers your question.
West River Lawn & Snow do you personally have one of those to use normal blades?
@@louisgarden3888 Yes, we actually have both the older non-offset finish mower (HM722) and the tough cut (HQ680).
First thought was why they mowing the hay, then I saw that it was roadside garbage grass.
THIS FIELD NEEDS AN X MARK ! ! !
So how do you like this flail? Can it put down a decent finish on regularly weekly accounts? Could you see yourself using it to mow weekly accounts with? I am on the waitlist at my dealer to demo either the fast cut or fine cut. They said it depends on what Ventrac sends them. Been waiting for like 4-5 months.
First and foremost, we had the 72" Fast Cut Flail on demo, but we also had it for a couple of days. We can't speak positively or negatively on the cut quality, production/speed, etc. for a weekly or bi-weekly account, because we never tested in that application. However, with our past experience with the Fast Cut, we would say it should do quite well on a bi-weekly account as long as the customer isn't wanting a "carpet finish". I don't think I would use it on a weekly account because typically the customer is looking for a "well maintained look". 90% of what we mow with the tough cut is none woody vegetation (ex. saplings). We REALLY liked it over the tough cut in grass. I would not recommend mowing saplings or mowing on rough ground that has lots of rocks, debri, etc.
I tried to answer your questions the best I could. I hope I helped.
