Ventrac – more than a mower

With the capability to work on 30-degree slopes combined with incredibly low ground pressure and over 30 attachments, it’s the most versatile equipment combination for the busy course manager. This is a machine that can mow in multiple formats, blow leaves, move snow, reinvigorate pathways, aerate, cut turf, dig trenches, grind stumps and prepare seedbeds … everything a golf course of any size, can utilise all-year round.

Allan Patterson, the Director of Golf Courses and Estates at Trump Turnberry says,

“Our Ventracs have alleviated a lot of issues associated with working on steep banks. It can climb 30-degree slopes safely and with ease, cutting the number of hours the team previously spent strimming and frees them up for other tasks. I like the fact that it’s a multi-tool, which means it can undertake several tasks and can be out on the courses or around the estate, virtually every day. It’s an extremely versatile piece of equipment.”

To understand why Allan and the rest of the industry have embraced the Ventrac product, come along and visit stand 122 in Hall 1.
