How To Grow A Business With The Ventrac 4500

www.ventrac.com/ “Everyone wants it!”. Cameron McMillan is the founder and owner of DJuke Limited, a Sports Turf Contractor in the UK. DJuke specializes in drainage solutions for turf surfaces in the UK and their services allow sports turf facilities like golf courses to stay open longer in inclement weather by allowing proper drainage on the course.
After 36 years as a golf course manager, Cameron’s experience showed him another need coming into the marketplace. He had been looking to add Ventrac machines and attachments as a service for his clients for several months. He felt it seemed like an obvious choice because of its versatility. He knows from using the Ventrac that it’s easy to operate, steering is light, precise and allows the operator to be inch-perfect.
He realized that once you start off with a Ventrac and a baseline of attachments, you can always add more, that’s the beauty of the system.
He is so confident in the usefulness of the machine that if he doesn’t have an attachment and a client asks for it, he will get it because every one of them has value.
The Power Rake became extremely useful and a requested attachment for pathways. DJuke used social media to get the word out about what the Power Rake could do.
He noticed the popularity of this particular attachment is because it saves clients weeks and weeks of work in terms of filling potholes. The amount of work that would take ten laborers a week to complete, he can do in a day with the Power Rake.
The Tough Cut was added to DJuke’s services mainly for woodland management, conservation work, and removing bramble and brush. It is extremely useful in this regard. The articulating nature of the machine allows it to cover very rough terrain and slopes while still getting the job done.
His clients request the use of the Power Broom for clearing golf cart paths, and even the occasional snow, etc.
While the Aera-vator is great for golf green complexes and high traffic areas where bare ground needs attention. This particular attachment allows loosening of topsoil while simultaneously dropping the seed into those areas. He notes that these situations tend to form on areas that are difficult to access with a traditional aerator, usually happening on undulating greens and slopes. Slopes are a perfect match for a Ventrac with dual wheels giving it a wide stance rated for 58% (30 degree) slopes.
Since adding the Ventrac, Djuke has opened up new clients. Offering Ventrac services opens up the door to new opportunities to work with clients every time.

Video Transcription:
Once you start off with a Ventrac and you start off with a baseline of attachments you can always add more. The power rake we found that extremely useful on pathways. We started doing one pathway which led to another the use social media to advertise that fact and in all honesty, we got booked up very quickly and we got lots of bookings in the future pathway work. You're saving your clients weeks and weeks of work in terms of filling potholes. The amount of work that 10 guys would take a week to do we can do in a day with a power rake. The tough cut we really bought initially for woodland management for conservation works removing course broom, bracken bramble and it's it's proved extremely useful in this regard. Basically can cut areas that other machines can't get to. The articulated nature of the Ventrac machine allows it to cover rough terrain very easily. Today we were in an area that was full of rabbit holes and it didn't lose traction once through that really rough terrain. The broom is also great for just going around hard surfaces particularly golf cart paths where you can remove bits of debris and also in the winter is great for clearing snow. We don't get a lot of snow over here but when we do it can be devastating. So certainly the power broom is going to be useful in that regard at that time of the year as well. The Aera-Vator is a great machine for working around golf green complexes and high-traffic intensive areas where you get bare ground.

Great video Ventrac, made me grow my landscaping business so much! All I have to do is switch the attachment in 30 seconds and thn on to the next job!

[@tazmankb26]

Dale- what attachments do you have and could you make recommendations for the first few must haves?

[@Dale.Nienow]

tazmankb26 it depends where you live if there are trees than the tubing blower, vacuum system if you have snow than the broom and the snowblower, finish mower for the lawn if you have a big lawn than the wide area mower.

[@deanneahsing3499]

Love the versatility. Considering it for farm & landscape purposes. Just don't know how servicing could workout in such a rural area.

[@rxlo1062]

I wish your video could have shown the Ventrac cutting the gorse.

[@laprepper]

[@stevezbiegien9260]

How much would you charge an hour for jobs? Just charge by each individual job or based on equipment and time.

[@jamesdickson3616]

You want a cab on it for the UK

[@justinweavers2781]

Welp that just sold me

[@ademirmarcianojunior7957]

Valor do tratorzinho

[@jamiepetrowski4902]

A Toro Dingo TX1000 can do all of that with the multitude of branded and aftermarket attachments, while being able to do things the Ventrac can’t do, like lift and excavate to name a couple.

The Dingo is a good machine, but it's really not at all suitable for work ON the golf course. A Ventrac is far more capable and less damaging on turf-specific jobs than a mini-skid steer. A mini-skid would struggle to do most of this work without destroying the course in the process. And you can forget about mowing with the Dingo. The only type of mowing it can do is rough mowing, and even that is accomplished much quicker with a Ventrac. The Dingo is, however, obviously a better loader than the Ventrac - just like you said. If somebody needs a loader first, and can get by without the turf related attachments of the Ventrac, the Dingo is a better choice. They're just very different machines.
