With close to 45-pounds-per-foot of torque, the high power-to-weight ratio translates into true savings. When compared to competitive gasoline machines, Kubota’s diesel goes beyond merely offsetting the price of diesel, but can significantly reduce overall fuel operating costs as well.

An oscillating front axle further increases operator comfort, and an integral lift allows quick and simple maintenance of the deck without timely removal.

The Ventrac HM/HP finish mower Ventrac HM and HP mower decks utilize a rugged all-steel frame design, which suspends the Ventrac’s progressive discharge deck.

The HP deck is a 72-inch mower, which is offset to the left side 6.5 inches. This aids in mowing along ditches, ponds and trimming around obstacles, keeping the tractor on solid ground. All Ventrac finish mowers feature full-width rollers for exceptional yard striping. These professional-grade mowers are built to provide maximum performance and productivity.
