Here’s mine lol I didn’t use a ramp backed up to a dirt pile, check out my bent down tailgate [emoji853]

The lawn gets better every cut,the grass is still not striping even because for 17 years it’s been 6ft wide stripes now every other one the grass blades needs to be bent to the other way... I have 4 sets of patterns I use you can see 3 of them from these pics.

Mock-up all done , it probably took me 2 full days and I winged it as I went..I want to build another one because I have a Kubota D1105 diesel I want to use instead. The 22 hp engine runs it effortlessly the problem is there’s not much between 22 hp and 14 hp once you go to a twin cylinder you...

Here’s some of the build.I do not have a MIG welder home or fancy equipment,I used a chop saw ,a makita 70cc cutoff saw,and a 4.5” grinder ,small cuts were made with my M12 Milwaukee cutoff wheel . The steel l used had been sitting outside for years,It required a lot of grinding to get through...

This spring I did something I had wanted to do for years, built a pull behind mower for the Ventrac . I used my original 72” deck ,and I bought a like new deck for the machine. I realize this was more expensive than buying a premade unit, but most premade units are 60” ,I seen one 66”, and they...

I took a video best I could of my 4231 cutting down some tall grass between my lawn and neighbors field. Figured I'd share it and there are others on my page as well. I was running it easy about 3000rpm , the Vanguard is a strong engine as you can see in the video , it slips the belts before it...

Got home after 14 hrs of plowing and overtime and was glad to be able to plow my house with an enclosed cab. It was 12 degrees out and windy. Ventrac plowing snow - YouTube

They are the same to hook up,I would switch everything you can to LED..they are pretty much impervious to vibration and like was said use a fraction of the power for 2x the light output. I replaced my pair of 55 watt halogen lights on my Ventrac with a pair of 18 watt LEDS and the output is 2-3x...

Gave the ventrac a chore today,as always it helped out tremendously. .

The last picture has the manufacturer info...the kit for the turbo diesel is different, probably more cooling capacity. ..anyway here's all I have ,if you have any trouble with your dealer finding it , my local dealer ,Round out Valley Engine, in Accord NY is excellent, you can call him and I'm...

Doing some light trenching

Did what I believe will be my last tilling job of the season yesterday,this machine and tiller is amazing, every time I do a garden I get more calls from word of mouth. ..people's jaws drop when they see there garden double tilled in 5 minutes and so soft they sink into it 5-6 inches. .here's a...

Here's a rare shot of my ventrac next to the older 1989 steiner,we took delivery of it in the spring of 1989 brand new with a loader duals,60 inch deck,5 ft York rake,and a leaf bower.We bought it as a lease,and I was told it was going back after 5 yrs,so use it as hard as I needed to and non...

Here are some illustrations for the 420/430 pump, I'm about 99 percent sure the 230 pump is identical. .the small o rings, numbers 38, failed in my 420, and it creates a massive internal leak that uses all the charge pumps capacity, leaving nothing left for the steering and lift...i believe...

All opened up and still waiting for the heli coil inserts i ordered, they were supposed to be in today. ..oh well.. I can't put it together yet anyway I have to wait for my buddy to tig weld one of the rear mounts back on,the other side stripped out, this side snapped, this is the second time...

I know I've said it here a few times in different threads but I figured I would show a few pictures to illustrate exactly what happens to the Steiner 410,415, 420 ,425 and 430 series. Having owned this machine for 25 years all of which it has been run hard and put away wet we have found out what...

These are a few of my attachments the rest are at the shop by storing in this way it also makes it really easy for me to move them around with the skid steer.

I found this awesome model builders YouTube channel and seen what he did with a Steiner 430 ...this man really does nice work. What a transformation. ..i love the 30 inch tires, makes me want to try a larger wheel and tire, mostly for ground clearance and speed. From this...

The last couple days I've really been putting my ventrac and snowblower to the test..we got a lot of snow here more than usual and we got it in the early start on getting the greens cleaned up started at my buddies course,he's got 20 greens to blow off,I've got 10...we burnt a couple blower...

I sped mine up quite a bit, in fact too much , went from an 8 inch snowblower pulley to a 5 inch mower deck pulley. .It really throws the snow now, it outperforms anything else I've ever seen...I ordered a 6 inch pulley I believe it will be the perfect size for my machine. Did this at my ventrac...

As anyone here used Bestline additives? I'm not usually a big fan of additives,but my Ventrac/Steiner dealer Tony talked me into taking a harder look at them, if it had been anyone else I may not have looked,but I've known Tony a long time,this man is one of the best mechanics and all around...

With all new pulleys and attachment plates and belt I'm still under 600.00...its going to need a brush soon but it works fine as is.throws snow about 25 feet forward I'd you run it wide open..

Got some work done, my barn is unheated so I was working in a balmy 29 degrees all day...still lots to do..

I had some free time last week,so I decided to build a light mount for my 4231 out of scrap I had from odd jobs.I wanted something to protect the light from getting knocked off and broken.Total cost for the mount,about 4.00 for the paint,which seems to match up pretty close.I think it'll do the...

I just bought these from home depot in a 6 pack for 58.00 shipped to my door.Let me tell you they are awesome, I'm going to buy more when funds allow..they are bright, and very warm color, and I was skeptical about there dimming performance but they dim down great..only issue is they don't get...

Here is the last impeller that snapped off on me 2 years ago...the main shaft was too small for the size of the belts and tension spring.You couldn't fit a larger mainshaft without larger bearings,but the design limited the bearing size,so Agrimetal milled down 2 sides of a larger ID series...

Here are some pictures of my old tired blower..its in need of an entire rebuild except for the impeller because i just replaced it ..this design is terrible, do not use it unless you modify the lower shaft bearing setup and the adjustment system, its terrible...I paid 600 for this blower 20yrs...

Here's a few pictures from this season's wood gathering... I admit it I cheat a little, using my two and a half yard loader to take out the big trees and we hand load its bucket with anything that doesn't need to be split, it then goes right in the trailer while the caterpillar walks on...

This is my high pressure closed loop filter..everything is readily available. .the hardest thing to find will be a 3000psi 10 micron filter...whatever it costs , just think this is 1500-2500 repair at a steiner dealer..if you can do this yourself it's a great feeling of accomplishment and huge...

Double deer has the right starting point. If it's loose , you found the problem and got lucky..if it is tight, you'll need to do what in told you in the pm....here is the image in wanted to show you. Your likely problem is the key ways have partially sheered, number 32...there are 4 of...

I took a 40 minute video with my phone and cut it down...i was running out of room for snow and my septic tank was under the snow pile...so I wasn't comfortable using the skid steer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvZaKVZvDVc&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I figured Id throw a couple pictures up of my Steiners at work..these machines never stop working....the older one we took delivery of in april of 1989 brand new and is still in service today...broke 4 hr meters so far and probably has 11000-12000 hrs on it conservatively.. last pic is my dad...

I built a splitter for my skid steer last summer,and I figured Id put the pictures up here for everyone to see.I wanted a splitter that would split the big stuff into manageable pieces,I dont need to split wood down to firewood size as I dont split below 12" wood.Also I figured if I could split...
