new deck

[johara1]

Traded in my old 60" (82 hours) on a new 60" deck. Well worth it cuts way better and it moves a lot of air and it doesn't unload like the old one in heavy wet grass. It longer and heavier but better balanced tilts easier than the old one, without the hyd. tilt, as soon as that comes I will install it..... Jim

 

[Thomas]

What the brand name?

 

[johara1]

Ventrac

 

[Farmerboy]

Jim - I see you are from Western PA - curious to know which dealer you use (there are only 3 that I know of).

 

[johara1]

I have a choice of Fletchers and Hines equipment, these are the two I deal with..... Jim

 

[Farmerboy]

Haven't heard of Hines.

I purchased my new 4500P from Fletcher's.

They have locations at Cresson, Johnstown and Somerset.... Jim

You get the tilt yet?

 

[johara1]

Heck no, still back ordered from Ventrac......... Jim

I got one 2 weeks ago. My dealer is backordered 250 units for 72" cut

It seems to be a problem getting the tilt cylinder and hoses, this dealer has a bunch of new decks out there without the tilt cyl. I did find the new deck tilts easier the way it's made over the old deck. The cut is so much better than the old deck but it is sure heavy........ Jim

It is built much better. I just love the power tilt and the offset front wheels

Why, Don't all dealers get parts the same place? Doesn't make sense to buy the deck one place and get a cylinder from an other dealer.... If this is the case something smells...... Jim

Mast Lepley is the biggest dealer anywhere for Ventrac and are less than 10 miles from the Ventrac plant. I offered help and you now call fraud? Oh well

Nothing about Fraud, but why would they have a cylinder and nobody else does? Why would Ventrac have new decks out there and no tilt cylinders We are not 3hrs. from the plant but the plant doesn't have them and has not had them for months. Ten miles close to nothing is still nothing........ Jim

Yea? Explain me Mast got a order in for 35 tilt set-ups then. Now 72" decks are getting scarce.

OK, then why in the world would you tell me to try out there when you already knew they didn't have them?......jim
