Overview

The Ventrac 4500K is purpose-built as a groundskeeping tractor, featuring a robust 4WD articulated chassis that enhances maneuverability and stability. It's powered by a Vanguard M54 air-cooled, 2-cylinder gasoline engine capable of delivering 31 horsepower. The tractor employs a shaft-driven hydrostatic transmission with infinite forward and reverse speeds across two ranges, allowing for precise speed control across various terrain types. With electric start, a 12-volt starter system, and a rated RPM of 3600, it provides reliable and efficient operation. The tractor's ground clearance is 5 inches, and it supports various tire configurations, suitable for agricultural or lawn/turf applications. Given its 1340-pound operating weight and dimensions (81.5 inches in length, 48.5 inches in width, and 68 inches in height with ROPS), the 4500K promises convenience and ease of use for a wide range of tasks in grounds maintenance.
