Well, I'm now at the 11th hour. The potential buyer is prepared to give me my desired price on my Ranger. I really like the Ranger for general purposes, but have felt and still feel that the Gator being a generally heavier and seemingly more solid machine it may suit my needs better. That said, there are features of the Ranger than I REALLY like, such as the power steering, etc. I also much prefer the wider bench seat. I think that the Gator will be a better plowing machine, and this is based on my previous Gator. While this is an important part of my intended use, and we did get quite a lot of snow last year, our snowfalls over the past few years have been sporadic at best. If we do get snow, though not as common as in the NE, I have a lot to plow and cannot essentially get to our main road without doing so. I just do not want to place too much emphasis on this as a reason to trade.
