Went to the dealer to look at Gators and ended up trading my 2008 2520 for a new 2720. it was the last one he had and wanted to make room for the new models. He gave me such a good deal I couldn't pass it up. Couple of observations: They improved the scv lever, its a lot tighter, they seemed to have beefed up the 3pt components, and they changed the way the ropes rides when down, its easier. Other than that its the same as my 2520. I can't tell any difference in the H130 loader and the 200CX. I do have a question. When I bought the 2520 they put the rear tires in the wide position. I asked the dealer about this and he said the wheels are the same width and that the valve stem should be on the outside. Is this accurate? I hope it give me the same great service as the 2520 did. By the way I like the gator. it seems like a solid unit.

The 2720 has two positions for the rear wheels. With the tires/rims flipped around for the wide position the valve stem will be on the inside. From the photo you posted your tires look to be in the narrow position. I recommend them in the wide position - especially if you plan to run rear chains.

Yea I thought the valve stems should be on the inside. I will take it up with the dealer when I take it in for service. My girls do love the Gator, they meet me at the door when I get home to take them for a ride. That alone makes it worth the money.
