Hurdle After Hurdle: The Story of Yetter's Climb to Success

Apr 05, 2023

The late owner of Yetter Manufacturing, Pat Whalen, says it was a “natural progression,” the way that his grandfather first got the company off the ground and his grandparents were able to start the company in 1930 during the Great Depression.

“At the time, the tractors had steel wheels on them and they were prone to plug up with mud. Harry Yetter, my grandfather, came up with a device that would scrape the mud off,” Whalen says. “His neighbor saw it and it was one of those things that mushroomed from his farm to other farms.”

But that was just the very beginning for the family manufacturing business. Whalen recalls many other products that would be added into production over the coming years to help grow the company even more.

A New Way to Maintain Fence Rows

We're excited to introduce the Ventrac Post Mower, a unique attachment designed to transform one of the most time-consuming property maintenance tasks. Built exclusively for Ventrac, the Post Mower provides a faster, easier alternative to hours of string trimming, helping you maintain cleaner fence rows with less labor.

The Post Mower features a hydraulically driven 27-inch cutting deck that swings around fence posts while maintaining a consistent cut. Its tool-free design allows operators to quickly switch the mower from the left side of the tractor to the right, making it easy to work along either side of a fence line. Compatible with Ventrac 4520 and 4500 tractors, it requires only a standard front PTO and a single hydraulic outlet.

Whether you're maintaining farms, parks, equestrian facilities, solar installations, or other properties with extensive fencing, the Post Mower is designed to help you mow more often while spending less time on the job. Regular fence row maintenance helps prevent overgrowth, reduce saplings, and keep debris from interfering with electric fences, resulting in cleaner, better-looking properties throughout the season.

Like every Ventrac attachment, the Post Mower is designed to make the most of the Ventrac platform. Its front-mounted design provides excellent visibility and maneuverability, making it easier to navigate challenging terrain while keeping the cutting deck in full view of the operator.

The Ventrac Post Mower is available now. Contact your local Ventrac dealer or visit Ventrac.com to learn more and see how the Post Mower can transform the way you maintain fence rows.
