In my search for a diesel UTV, I today had a test drive of a Gator 6x4 Diesel.
While the unit left me largely un-impressed, one notable positive was it's need for little or no glow plug time. (It was perhaps near 20 deg C - 60 - 70 deg F)
Having owned Kubota B5100 & B6100 tractors, which need 20 - 30 seconds, when cold, I wonder why the Yanmar in the J D needs so little?
Or are modern Kubotas better in this respect too?
