Ventrac is a manufacturer of compact utility and grounds-keeping tractors in Ohio. Ventrac can trace its history to Marvin Steiner's shop in rural Ohio. The resulting Steiner brand was sold to Ransomes in 1988, but several members of the Steiner family created Venture Products in 1996. The Ventrac brand of tractors, similar in design to the original Steiners, came about in 1998.
