Ventrac Pricing and Questions

[bigpinwheel]

Can anyone get me in the ballpark of what I can expect to pay for a new Ventrac capable of running a 72" mower. I'd also like to be able to do some gravel driveway maintenance and snow removal (Front Blade). I think I would need the slip scoop as well. I can't seem to find list prices on their webpage. If anyone has any numbers to share to shed some light on the situation it would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone use a box blade on the 3 pt hitch or is there a better alternative to that available for the Ventrac.

Hello, bigpinwheel
I just purchased my ventrac around a month ago. I paid around $27000.00 out the door . I addded a a 3 point hitch and a Travel pedal. The diesel engine is a kubota 25 hp Which is $ 4000.00 more .the 3 point was an extra $1700.00and the pedal 80.00 I also have the 72 inch deck I was going to go with a 60 but the dealer talked me into the 72 for an xtra 250.00Iit works geat . The dealer told me that the kubota gas engine was actually more than the diesel engine!this price was in central PA. Good luck. Dunebuggy55

Dunebuggy,

It was $27K with only the mower deck, the 3-pt, and the pedal? Shocker - my 3520 was $29K with loader, tiller, and MMM plus ballast box.

Thanks and Cheers.

Thanks Murph!

I traded my Simplicity in and got 4550 for it. I love this machine, its a beast.

Hello Murph, Do you like the rear discharge mower? I traded my ZD 326 on the ventrac. The zd had a rear discharge on it . Loved it for mowing around things but hated it for the way the yard looked. It was always wading up unless i mowed when the grass was super dry and not to long.Thats why i went back to side dicharge on the ventrac.

I have the side discharge as the rear clogs the radiator screens too fast. Try Gator Blades.
