cheap gator, good buy ?

[darkday]

im looking for a 4x2 gator to supplement my 6x4 diesel. its mostly for fun would i find the power (acceleration) to be very lacking in the 4x2 ? my 6x4 does have a new clutch so its slower then it used to be and tops off at 15 like a 4x2 instead of the standard 18.

the reason im getting a cheap gator instead of something else is i could trade in a mower and pay for a lot of it that way.

MY 4x2 goes where I want it to, and haven't found it for lack of power to get around. I am actually amazed at the places where it will go, and much impressed with its fit and finish in the meantime.
Not sure what you mean by 'cheap', but am assumming it is the price.

yeah i meant cheap as opposed to the 11 some thousand for a 6x4, by no means is 6 grand cheap either though. the 6x4 will remain the workhorse and i will just run around in the 6x2. i think it will actually be funner, i find the 6x4 a little to hard to get stuck or slide around in and such when im trying to have a little fun.

I like those features of mine too. Grand kids do as well.
Dear wife thinks we drive too fast, but it doesn't go fast, just feels like it. Sure a monkey in the woods when running on and off the trails. But I don't bust brush with it. Not interested in too many scratches. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Will attach a pic.

i love that canopy /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

thats one of the things i like about the gator it feels fast but its not and it doesn't tip on the hills.

mines covered in scratches though if i think i can take it somewhere i do lol.

$11,000 for a 6x4??? I paid $7200 for my 6x4. As far as the 4x2's they are nice. What about the HPX? It has 4x4 or 4x2. It's got more power and it's fun to slide around.

I have places where a 4 * 2 will not cut it. Consider resale also when buying a 2 wheel drive instead of 4wd.

The Gator's have excellent resale whether they are 4x2, 6x4, 4x4 or whatever. They rarely last very long on the dealer lot.

We bought my boys 9 & 11 a Polaris Ranger TM it was under $6000. I added the full roll and fender gaurds. I use it also and can load my 16 hp welder and all my tools it just keeps going. It also has a 2" hitch on the back so all of my ball mounts will work. The boys have a 160 acs mostly woods with gas lines and some bottems. They have never walked back to the house. Being 2x4 with the rear locked it does ok with me in mud but not like with them. We have had it a year this month I think it has 100hrs on it. I have been thinking about getting me a 4 x4 ranger. But now I just ask if I can have there keys.

Do you get fleet discounts or somthing? I just had a customer tell me that the JD dealer who is 5 miles from me was quoting a demo 6x4 with 80 hours (their lot machine) for $8600.
