Only once round the sheep.
Last pic, good job it's got a door but when I slam it I get a wet leg.
Maybe I should design things....
New gator.

This looks a lot worse than the old ones at least the diesel filler is to the side of seat so clean, water doesn't run off the roof but number plates always been the same we have lights and number plate on back of cab on ours as the ones below get so Mucky no one can see the lights and you can see them over the snacker although not strictly legal they can always be seen

We had one when cold and dry, day the after snow. Neighbour has one and he was puffing and blowing about getting wet, but tbf @paul&mandy ’s above is a fair drip!

Yes, we’ve just got one, they’re just 40k and come with nets instead of doors but you get a door kit for them. No bench seat either.

You can “improve” the kph I believe. For a start wind the throttle stop under the accelerator in for a few more rpm but I think there is a restriction in the ctv somewhere. Would be similar to how they restrict motorcycles for newbies I would think

Think it’s a spacer in the clutch they take out?
It’s too loud as it is without giving it more revs :(:banghead:

Think it would have to be signed for off road use or words to that effect.

Wonder if that is for other countries? Defo just 40k, could be altered but dealer not keen at all to do it.
I thought just being 40k it would get to full speed faster and at lower revs than our old 50k one, but it doesn’t!! It’s a bit disappointing in that respect
Very bottom of the page it says UK and Ireland
Had a can-am on demo was restricted to 40mph thought if I bought one unrestricted it would do 40mph at lower revs and be quieter but apparently not

@jackstor is yours road legal from factory. I know when we got ours could have it 50k no problem but it wasn't road legal so bought a road legal one and got it made 50k apparently can't legally register a factory 50k
