Getting my new T-G acquainted with 3 other 4x4 units. And also a pic of the T-G's new home.
So far, I like the T-G, especially the large bed, buckets, and OPS.
Things I'm not so hot on:
1. Crude, balky shifting into gears (the Rhino is the slickest I've tried).
2. Free-wheeling belt drive on down-hill runs
3. Lack of enough power in High gear to get up a moderate slope.
4. Slight delay in the 4wd to kick in when encountering intermittent slippery conditions.
5.Hard to lift bed manually (i think Mules have hydraulic assist struts).
6. Don't know whether JD or Yamaha have the most outrageous prices for accessories. At least Yamaha has a wider choice of goodies (why no bed rails, or rear bumper, or diesel Trail Gator?)
7. Zero instrumentation -- I've seen more on a golf cart.
Haven't had the opportunity to try out the T-G's hauling/pulling power yet.
I'd have gone with a Rhino except for the tiny bed, an engine with one lung instead of two, and the unavailability of a decent discount (also JD was offering 12 mos no interest/no payment).
