I bought the wife a new golf cart today........

After I sold the one I built for a her a couple of years ago.
Here is the fresh one.

And yes, I did get it dirty already!!

3 cylinder diesel, 4 wheel drive, air conditioning and heater, power dump bed, lights, turn signals, horn and windshield wipers WITH washer!! It already has speakers, an antennae and is wired for a stereo, so I will be adding one this week.
This going to be FUN to take hunting!!

One of these days, my husband will surprise me with one of these babies.

Nothing like a golfcart to get an SS woman weak in the knees! You have me glowing green with envy! I'll have to point it out to my husband, talk about dropping a hint.

Oh yeah... That was from my husband in advance for making him look bad.

How fast does it go? I love it!

 

[enjoy the ride]

It's beautiful- you have made me jealous- shame on you.

It is limited to 25mph top speed. But....how fast do you REALLY need to go in a woods or a pasture field?
When I was researching and shopping, it came down to either the Kubota or the Polaris Ranger. The Ranger goes faster, but by the time you add a cab, a heater and the hydraulic dump bed, your almost at the cost of the Kubota and the Kubota has AIR CONDITIONING and gets better fuel economy!! The deciding factor was when I hit E-bay. If you do a search for "Polaris Ranger" you'll find 28-32 of them for sale at any one time. Do the same search for Kubota RTV and you'll find 5-7 listed, and maybe ONE of those are the 1100. I wanted something that didn't require I work on it every couple of weeks. I already have a Kubota tractor that has proven to be bulletproof. That sealed the deal for me.

The wife isn't fond of the orange color, so it looks like we will be getting it wrapped in some variation of camo. GOD I love that girl!!

A camo paint job..... Oh now I am swooning.

 

[FarmerChick]

these vehicles are cool!!

we are buying a used one kinda like this one....poor guy needs money and has "no where" to use it since he moved. perfect for our farm.
can't wait to get it now..lol

That looks awesome.

You know, more and more areas are making golf carts legal to drive on the street. If that thing went 35, I could use it for most of my running around! LOL

We have one like that, except the cab isn't enclosed. We call it "Sweet Tater".

It is so useful. We haul yard clippings to the garden, haul in the harvest, use it to load the camper when we go camping, etc.

Heck, we just like using it.

Be a life long auto tech, I am looking into how I can tweak the top speed on this thing just a wee little bit and no do any damage. I drove it over to my buddies farm that I hunt, and with the power steering it can be a bit "twitchy" at speed until you get used to it so I don't want to get TOO stupid with it!

A few years back we went to Put-In-Bay for the weekend, and up there on the island, a golf cart or bicycle, is the only to get around, so we rented a cart for the weekend. I flipped the seat up, did a little looky-see, and quickly figured out how "modify" the speed governor to allow a little more top end speed. We were the fastest cart on the island that weekend and nobody could figure out WHY! I did return the cart to normal before we returned it.
