I my attempt to add some degree of positive contribution to this forum, I have purchased one of the electrosteer additions for the Gator. Apparently this is also marketed and sold through John Deere dealers and I have gotten my hands on one. It is going on early next week at the dealer and I will then give a report on its worthiness for owners of both HPX and XUV Gators. For me, with my aftermarket wheels/tires and operating a front plow on occasion, it should make a real difference. Also, on an unrelated topic, I would encourage anyone using a winch-operated plow for his/her UTV DO NOT go with the synthetic rope winch. These winch ropes have great dynamic, but not great static, strength. I broke mine after four hours of use. Ramsey has been good to deal with, they are replacing mine with a steel line for no charge. I have been impressed by the company and they were as surprised as I about the failure. I wanted others to avoid this potential pitfall.
