Gators

The Gator is a small traverse between a pickup truck and an all-terrain vehicle. Although started as a off road vehicle, the gator has not changed much over the passing years. The gator is manufactured by Deere & Company and is made available in a variety of configurations, ranging from 3 to 6 wheels. The gators use 4 stroke small engines typically found in lawn mowers, also an optional diesel engine that is also found in some Deere Mowers and Utility tractors. The Gator come with a host of special attachments that include snow plows, gun racks and many others. The gators are available in 3 base sizes: Compact, Regular, and Large.

When you look forward to buying a gator, size is one important consideration. The compacts are small and more like a golf cart, the regular are the original size, and the large resemble cab-less box vans. There is also an off-road gator known as Trail Gator which is often olive in color, with a few more optional add-ons. With various drive options to assist maneuverability the 6 wheeled version can be put into a '4 wheel drive mode' in which the back 4 wheels all have power transmitted to them in order to get out of certain sticky situations. Construction workers, gardeners, parks departments, various colleges and universities, medical first response teams and even military use these vehicles to carry small loads. The gators are simple to operate without clutch and are quite popular to carry loads off-roads.
