Sure beats backing down a steep set of ramps.

LOL yeah, the only ramps I had that were strong enough were much too short to work

They must have offered to deliver it for you, since you have that 20' PJ trailer to chase it home.

Nah that's my truck. I was out tooling around shopping for UTV's. When I stopped at the JD dealer, I didn't really expect that I would find something there that I'd want. They had a loading ramp there, so I told them to load it up!

I still have not picked up my new Intimidator yet, keep ordering accessories. LOL. I think if you look & ride an intimidator you will be very impressed. It has lots of leg room, out specs everything else, comfortable bench seat (3 wide seating), steering is unbelievably easy even in 4 wheel drive. I know the machine has only been out for 2 years but it is a quality built machine & built in the USA. I was sold on the JD 825i totally until I saw the Intimidator.

I got the following accessories for just over $15,000 including tax:

DV4 upgrade package
Glass windshield with wiper
Break away rear view mirrors
Aluminum top
Spray in bed liner
Roof mounted gun rack
Winch
Tray/basket that goes all the way across the roll cage above the bed
Diesel engine

Haha, no I just wasn't taking ANY chances of getting too cocky. Slow and steady!

FYI

Stopped at my local Arctic Cat dealer to grab something (chainsaw related) and checked out the Prowler HDX-500. Nice machine, big cargo bed, but very low on cargo & payload capacity. Didn't get a price. If not for the limited payload capacity, it would be a contender.

They also sell the Massimo UTV's, the "Alligator" model there was $7900. Cheap. Felt cheap too. Hated the operators area, very confined. Wouldn't feel good about buying one of those.

Obviously this is all after the fact since I already bought the Gator, but still fun to check out.

I think what if when reading these posts and a capable work UTV built like a truck would be a lot of fun getting the chores done.

On the other hand... I bought my Samurai for $1000 and use it haul, tow carry people, etc. and can drive it to town... it does not have power steering or A/C creature comforts but is as reliable as they come.

We've needed something for a couple years, but I didn't want to spring for Quad, because I knew it wasn't the right "tool" for our needs. This Gator, and the truck like UTV's in this category, are so helpful and handy!

Glad I finally got one.

My neighbor has a small gas gator and loves it... it's his constant companion when out doing chores and on the weekends... his grand kids love to go with Grandpa for gator rides and so do my nieces...

Very impressed with how reliable... aside from tire issues when it was new... his gator continues to be.
