Contemplating an electric go-kart as a small yard cart puller

[ning]

Anyone have experience with an electric JD Gator?
Not sure if it's 4x2 or 4x4 yet; how well would a 4x2 do relatively unloaded on a rocky bumpy not-flat road (not quite a jeep trail but close lol)?
Gators seem a bit wide for our purpose but I love the power dump box for the wife + the electric drive for lots of very short trips.

There has to be something like this near you.

I'd never heard of a "steep hill chip" before, but I guess it's a thing. Would need more off-roadier tires.

Point is... gonna be WAY cheaper than anything that has a JD decal on it.

the "road" to the upper garden isn't a nice one and isn't likely to get better because of the buried boulders; these things as I mentioned in a previous post above would likely fall over due to high CoG versus narrow track. Also, very small bed so it would still have to tow a trailer for bulk weeding/pruning, and it would be pretty tough to pull a trailer with it while you're walking behind it.

We have an electric SxS Polaris Ranger for around the property duties, and occasional short drive on local roads.
I just can't emphasize enough that for the short and frequent stop/start use it gets, the electric drivetrain is far superior to an ICE drivetrain. If you have longer distances to drive, or cannot charge it as needed, that is a different matter. Plus, plugging it in is so easy, it almost never runs out of battery on our use.
I did have to replace the batteries once (ouch!), possibly earlier than would have been needed otherwise due to dealer neglect of keeping them charged. I spent a little more money to replace the lead acid batteries with lithium, so should not have to replace batteries for a long time. Also don't have to water them, flush the battery tray to prevent rot and corrosion. Not to mention that draining them most or all the way does not permanently wound them as would be the case with lead acid. And the EV is 500 pounds lighter than with the original lead acid batteries.

Maybe a gutted Suzuki Samurai? The gator sounds like a plan.

We use both an electric Golf cart, an old Cushman gas cart, also put a hitch on the JD X 500 with diff lock but none are 4x4 and no steep hills to traverse.
