[QUOTE="norriscathy, post: 157249, member: 2961"] DO NOT BUY A GATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bought a 6 wheel gator several years ago. Absolutely great around the farm FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS. Then the engine started missing, took it in for repair and once again it ran fine; for a month. Repair trips started getting more and more frequent. Finally on one trip the JD mechanic was in a big hurry and just climb in the bed of my truck and changed the spark plug. I told him I didn't consider that a repar job! He told me that that was all they could do with that engine! Went to another JD dealer. He was honest! Told me that the Kawasaki engine was actually a lawnmower engine designed to be run wide open all the time and threw way too much oil on the valves at slow speeds. He told me the thing is not suited for slow putt putt speeds! Guess how fast I drive checking cows!! Put in two new plugs and took it to the auction!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
