I've got 2 -420 steiners...one tops out at 4.6mph/9.8. Which is exactly what my ventrac does at 3600 rpm.. The other steiner 420 which is a 97 does 7 mph in low and 12 mph in high range..it flat out flies..that's the one I put the blower on and 22/11x8 sawtooth tires so I can ride on the greens...the lower geared one I use to pull the gang mower setup..
I too have used the crap out of my ventrac this winter...I kinda wish I had a snowblower attachment now.nver had a use for one but we have between 3-4 ft on the ground a plow is pretty useless for anyplace you haven't kept clean...

i think a ventrac/steiner is the direction i will start looking into. I can't legitimize a new one so it will be a long drawn out wait for a used one.lol i really like the toro setup on smaller tractors and had planned to stay with them,but not a fan of the lifting hydraulic implement platform.
