Not PT but check it out anyway

[American Bulldog]

Just mowing the lawn with my Ventrac. I have used the PT, but the Ventrac just does a superior job. 31 HP gas, dual wheels, and a 84" flex wing deck that is the best deck I have ever mowed with.

At the edge of the plateau there are 30 degree slopes that need to be mowed.

The last picture is the back yard, which has 25 degree slopes. Also, I mow everything you can see in that last picture.

beautiful. Now I want to move to Honesdale...

How many hours do you spend mowing your lawn? It looks huge.

There is about 15 acres that I finish mow, and it takes a little over 3 hours. I combine it with the Ventrac and my PT 1460.

Across the street there is about 50 acres that I cut a few times a year. I use a Deere 5520 closed cab, with a 15 foot flex wing rough cut mower. I can do the whole thing in six hours if conditions permit. There are some steep spots on it, and now that I have the PT I no longer need to take my life in my hands. I can just use the PT to finish up those spots.

Actually if you look closely at the last picture you can see the Deere across the street on the left.

Thanks all. I took a couple more so you can see the striping that the Ventrac mower creates.

(I didn't get the hill behind the house yet)

That tractor can really mow fast. If it wasn't for the hills, I would be done sooner. The tractor is a two speed hydrostatic, and I have to keep it in low on the hilly sections. In high it can only handle about 15 degrees. It is somewhat difficult to shift. This is one place where the PT tram pump with treadle is much better.

Nice property! I would love to have a pond!! Honesdale is a nice area...not too shabby around here either.
I only cut about 3 acres with the PT....takes me almost 2 hours. I've seen similar mowers in use and they are cool to watch!...really zoom along. I do regret getting the 48" mower deck though...can't get close enough to things sometimes...took out the corner of one of my firewood piles the other night!
