Product Description
The Ventrac 3400 is a unique All Wheel Drive power unit that distributes its power to four equal size flota
-
tion tires to provide excellent control, traction, stability, maneuverability, and braking. Its innovative, pat-
ented Tandem Drive Train is coupled with an articulating and oscillating, uni-body frame to create a power
unit with quiet, efficient, and powerful performance. The 3400 is equipped with power steering and has a
turning radius of 28 inches (71 cm), allowing it to maneuver in and around tight places with ease.
The 3400 is designed with the operator seated at the front of the power unit for unobstructed visibility of
attachments and terrain ahead. This design uses a rear mounted engine that keeps heat, exhaust, and
noise behind the operator.
Ventrac’s patented SDLA control, located next to the operator, allows for easy control of Speed, Direction,
Lift, and Auxiliary functions with one hand.
The Ventrac attachment mount system allows the operator to change front mounted attachments quickly
and efficiently.
Standard features of the 3400 power unit include:
• a fold down roll bar.
• a wire harness that is pre-wired for optional accessories.
• a complete electrical system circuit breaker and battery disconnect.
• a computer controlled onboard diagnostic system for the electrical circuits.
• two cluster gauges on the steering column. One gauge includes a fuel gauge, speedometer, glow
plug indicator, parking brake indicator, PTO ‘On’ indicator, and a low fuel indicator. The second gauge
includes an engine temperature gauge, hour meter / tachometer, and warning lights for high engine
coolant temperature, low engine oil pressure, and low battery voltage. All of the warning indicator lights
also trigger an audible alarm to insure the operator is aware of an unsafe condition.
