Hey David and Texasmark, thanks for the responses. Ventrac just released a brand new FEL that can be used with the dual wheels and has some other great features. It still has some drawbacks and people argue about what they will actually lift but the capacity for both FELs is 500lbs I think. So I...

A Ventrac has just always been on my wish list. I have always wanted one and admittedly wish I would have bought one years ago before the price hike. I have mowed slopes my entire life and realized there was more money in it than flat simple properties. I went back and forth for a long time...

Hey gentlemen, thanks a whole lot for all the great replies. This community is pretty awesome. I am in the "I would like to have it but can go without it boat". I am going to keep my eyes on it for the simple reason of my neighbors having free implements and such. I would like to have one to...

I know it has been awhile since I posted but I just went over to check out this tractor for the second time. We jumped it and got it started. It has just been sitting in his garage now. So I looked the tractor over as best as I could and tried to be as vigilant as possible and noticed some...

Yes, I am certain. Because when I park on it on a slight incline the machine moves forward as well. I found the manual and it has directions for adjusting the brake cable I am referring to but what I was doing wrong is I failed to loosen the collar you see. It has one of those wonderful allen...

I understand. It was my mistake because when I posted it to the other site it was in the title. It is a 2015 Ferris IS2100z and the brake cables go to Hydro-Gear 4400 transaxles. It may be hard to tell but those are mostly the pictures. There is one other place where the lines are secured down...

Hey guys, This year I noticed that my mower was moving around a little on my trailer and when I apply the brake on an incline it also moves. I started looking around and noticed that one of the cables is rather loose. As you can see I attempted to tighten it but it does not seem like it is...

Thanks for the reply. I have another forum where I was discussing purchasing a 2WD tractor. I got a lot of great comments but several users mentioned that I will probably miss not having a loader or 4WD and I agree. Is there a guide or forum for desirable tractors? For instance, ones that have...

Hey guys so every now and then I will look at tractors online. I'm guessing you guys also see them advertised as being 4x4 but "the 4WD is not working". So as usual I just thought I would ask. Is it worth buying a tractor at a discount or low balling one where the 4x4 is not working? I...

Thanks gentlemen. If I remember correctly I did check out the tag when I took the picture. However, it cannot hurt to do so again. I know he told me he bought it for his Ford 1210 but it was for a tractor a size up. The 1700 is a step up from that, it would be awesome if it just fit.

So can anyone tell me how I can determine the compatibility of the snow plow with the Ford 1700? Again the guy selling the tractor is not in possession of the plow/blade.

This is what I thought as well. Just considering whether or not it would be a good opportunity to get into a tractor like this. Even if the tractor runs into catastrophic issues I am only in $3,000 (or whatever we agree to) and would probably make a lot of that back selling the implements. So...

I believe he told me it was a home made leaf/debris blower.

I know I wrote a novel but I want to make sure you guys understand, he said a number he thought may be fair was $3,200. I said $5,000 after doing maintenance and other stuff that may need done/preparation for the tractor etc. Now we did not speak about this anymore, so I never clarified if he...

It has always more or less been a dream of mine to own a Ventrac and maybe a tractor considerably bigger than the Ventrac so anything that the Ventrac failed to accomplish I could do with my larger tractor. I don't think this tractor qualifies for that in my mind. If I decided to stay with this...
