INTRODUCTION

Product Description
The VENTRAC HM600, HM720 and HP720 mowers have a cutting width of approx. 60"
and 72" respectively. The "uni-body" design creates a lightweight, heavy-duty, and high
performance deck plus a streamlined carrier frame. With the removal of two pins
beneath the cross frame, the deck can be tilted to a near vertical position for cleaning
and servicing. The top side of the deck is designed to eliminate trapped grass, dirt and
water.
Four carrier points, two adjustable connecting links and one cross shaft comprise the
complete mechanism for controlling the cutting height. A single handle with a slight
outward pull allows an easy quick change in cutting height selection. A slide release
allows the handle to be returned to the deck level to prevent it from catching on low
branches and shrubs.
These mowers, with near full width rear rollers and large, pneumatic, front swivel caster
tires, are designed to float over the terrain independent of the tractor. The traction
transfer system on the VENTRAC 4000 series tractor reduces mower weight on the
ground, decreases the steering effort, and increases the traction of the tractor.
These attractive two-tone, smooth styled mowers with a high performance discharge
tunnel, offer an unusual combination of efficiency, effectiveness and end results.
Careful, proper, and safe operation of tractor and mower will result in a great mowing
job.
The model HP720 provides a 6-1/2" offset of the mower to the left side. The mower still
has a centered appearance because of the right side discharge chute. The offset
creates a better "reach" on the left side of the deck for mowing under low tree branches,
fences, or over the edge of ditches and water.
