A Better Look At Gator

*************************************************************************************
Gator Features (lifted from the JD website):

• Powered by a standard 48V system with 8 Trojan T-105 batteries, Gator TE accelerates faster, climbs hills better, and performs evenly until recharge (optional extended range T-145 batteries available)
• Golf-cart-style drivetrain prevents need for engine re-start
• Tight, 24.1-ft. turn clearance circle
• Directional change control feature slows machine to a stop before changing directions to prevent whiplash and stress on the drive train
• 0 - 15-mph forward ground speed, 0 - 9-mph reverse ground speed. Air speed has not yet been determined (testing continues)
  
• Separately excited controller provides over-speed control, dynamic braking, roll-away control, and regeneration
• Wide flotation tires, especially designed for turf applications, minimize ground compaction, provide good traction in mud, and flex over bumps for a smooth ride
• Wide wheel stance and low center of gravity offer passenger and operator superb stability
• Quiet, electric operation ("sneak-up-on")
  
• 16-gauge-steel, 11.2 cu. ft. capacity cargo box hauls up t0 500lb. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  

I looked for work horse style golf carts at first, thinking that a Gator or something in the same class would be out of my price range; and new ones certainly are, with the Gator Pro at over $17,000 without any accessories. Then we found this Chino Hills golf course back-shop sales place on Craigslist where they sell rebuilt (pieced together from good parts), used and new carts of all kinds for really reasonable, very negotiable prices.

It's a 2003 or 2004 with 681.8 hours on the meter.
