https://www.ventrac.com/ Doubleday Field in the village of Cooperstown, NY is the birthplace of baseball. A ballpark with such a reputation requires a certain caliber of equipment to keep it looking immaculate from game to game. A typical season runs from mid-April to mid-October with up to 324 played baseball games per year.

It’s meaningful work for Doubleday Field Supervisor Quinton Hasak. He is passionate about his ball field and finding a machine that streamlines the work that’s required.

Hasak takes pride in keeping his field looking amazing. He especially loves the wide roller on the mowing deck that yields superior striping on the field. Another user-friendly feature of the Ventrac mower deck is that it can be easily tilted to a near vertical position for maintenance, greasing, sharpening of blades and storage.

The Ventrac Ballpark Groomer and Renovator allows Hasak to accomplish grating, rolling, breaking up clumps, and grooming the surface all in one attachment. Hasak describes the attachment as solid and steady without having blips or errors in finishing the field. This is important to him because it means less work to fix the errors and more efficiency for him at the end of the day.

An attachment that Doubleday has used in a multi-faceted way is the Ventrac Power Broom. The preservation of an old town attraction and a piece of history is important to the village of Cooperstown. And just outside the gates of the park, the sidewalks are made of brick pavers that hold memories and names of people, near and far. After a lot of foot traffic and bad weather, it’s necessary to clean these pavers in a way that still upholds their significance. What used to take a worker 3 days with a scrub brush and bucket to clean, can now be done with the Power Broom and it takes only hours.

Quinton loves this ball field and he loves his Ventrac. In fact, he loves it so much, he wants a Ventrac to be a part of his crew until he retires and plans to pass it along to the next person after him.

Video Transcript: We're running seven days a week anywhere from mid-April to mid October. Two years ago we finished our season with 324 played baseball games. When I'm able to come out here and I'm able to use a machine that streamlines the work streamlines the seams and brings it all together in a nice and beautiful way I'm a very happy individual. You look at the way the field turned out you look at the way it looks today it's gorgeous. I have not had a mower that actually left stripes that looked that good. It just has one gigantic roller and that roller gives you some superior striping abilities and it'll take you two minutes at most to flip that deck up so you have the whole thing greased sharpened and ready to mow. I've never seen anything like that before in my life and I love it. The renovator groomer you're grading you're rolling you're breaking up clumps you're brushing them around and you're grooming it all behind that and that is all in one attachment. It has a cutting bar on the very front of it and when it comes to a high spot it shaves it off. This machine breaks up the clumps behind it. It follows its own path and it's solid and steady without having any blips or errors. One of the big attachments for us that we love is the rotary broom in the front and that is probably the one piece that we have used in every aspect that we could possibly think of. Just eliminating the lips is a huge load off of my mind I mean enormous. When the broom is completely reversed we were able to run around the entire arc of the baseball field and everything is done. Cooperstown loves to keep the old-time look and one of the old-time looks would be a paver sidewalk. We have pavers out front of our facility here that people have bought and paid for to have their names be enshrined at the holy shrine of baseball and of course after a lots of foot traffic and bad weather they're gonna get grimy. The rotary broom is basically a gigantic scrub brush. What used to take a gentleman about three days to accomplish with a bucket and that brush we were able to accomplish in an hour and do the whole side of one side of our Main Street and you run through afterwards and just rinse everything off and you've got a brand new looking sidewalk.
