I just purchased a new 4500z and I have about 114 acres 2 miles from my home. Has anyone trekked their Ventrac that far to mow, or do you just load it up on a trailer for anything over a couple hundred yards? My Kioti CK4010 I just drive there and back when I need to do work, but I am not sure with this... I had heard running these in high gear puts a lot of strain on the hydraulics. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me since you would assume if a piece of equipment has a high and low range you should be able to run in either all day long. I understand running low gear for slopes, or rough conditions, which I would probably never take it out of low gear once at the property, but just wondered if you could drive it to/from there the 2 miles in high gear without any damage.
