In this video we compare how a traditional sub compact tractor with loader and a Ventrac tractor with power bucket differ at moving mulch. Since the Ventrac is center articulated, the wheels follow the same path and do not impose any lateral forces on the ground beneath like the standard compact tractor wheels so. When mulching in spring, maneuverability and light-footprint are the most important features and the Ventrac provides them in the best way.

EDIT: We do realize that the compact tractor does not have turf tires installed on it and that they might perform better. Also note, the ventrac does not have turf tires either. When using a loader, a compact tractor will have R4 style tires as used here 99% of the time. This is not meant to be a brand comparison where both tractors are identical in nature, because that would be impossible. This is meant to be a comparison of two different tractors, in their most-likely configurations, going head to head in a test that shows the hurdles of mulching around your house in the spring time. If we started modifying each tractor to do this as best possible, we would end up with wildly different machines from what the vast majority of people own and operate which would not be as good of a real world observation.
