From its agricultural origins, Ventrac has grown into a trusted brand for professional groundskeepers, landscapers, and turf managers.
The mini-tractor’s history began with the Steiner family and their agricultural background in the mid-1970s, evolving into a company known for its high-quality, all-wheel-drive tractors. Founded in 1974 in Ohio, the Steiner Corporation focused on developing durable, versatile equipment, particularly for professional turf care and landscaping. The company’s defining feature is its all-wheel-drive system, which provides stability on slopes, and its quick-change coupling system for switching between multiple implements like mowing decks, snow blowers, and aerators.
Key Innovations
