    Test drove used John Deere Gator 6x4, have questions

    My only comment is that they are very limited off road,long with little clearance,solid suspension.Depends on your wants and needs.I would expect some problems at that age.

    Any have those 5.5 gal cans with electric pump

    Don't know about that deal but I do have that pump,works but about 2 gal/minute./Better than lifting a full 5 gallon can.

    Thoughts on cost of big roll-up barn doors

    $1500-$2500 ,my 10"x12' was $1400 with an opener three years ago,uninsulated.Way better than a "slider".Have a remote on the tractor and side by side.Not a roll up but regular overhead door.
