Yes I’ve got one
really like it
heavier built now with kubota engine, better cab ,fantastic turning circle. Only had it 2 weeks
This is my 3rd one, keep them 3 years
First one had quite a few issues all fixed under warranty
Second one was much better
I almost bought a can am traxter but no diesel

just got one here and really happy with costs virtually nothing in fuel compared with the petrol one it replaced and the hill decent control can be handy on some of the steeper bits around here (scottish highlands) much slower than the petrol at 20 mph but plenty fast enough for here

I thought they were 40 mph ,one of the reasons we're changing is for more top speed ?

Thanks for the reply.How is acceleration and top speed ? The reason for changing from our RTV is to get a machine that is quicker,

Tried both gator and polaris. Almost had a deal done with a polaris but it fell through. Gator was too expensive, noisier and dead compared to the polaris. I wanted a diesel but i dont really do that many miles a year so I'm considering a petrol after demoing a Can Am hd8. Can Am is quieter (obviously because its petrol) and I would say if you compared a petrol ranger, it would come down to personal preference.

Try turf machinery engineering, they were the keenest priced hands done. Rang nearly every dealer on Google. I have some prices on my post on the quote me thread.
