I have been a fan of the Diesel Gator for a long time. I purchased a couple because they were slow, had the lowest center of gravity, and the Yanmar diesel was superior to the gas for durability.
The tractor dealer brought one out for me to try. I put two tractor weights in the bed of nearly 750 pounds along with my overweight neighbor and climbed a vineyard road that was nearly 45 degrees.
Later, my employer had one roll backward down a very steep hill (you could not walk this hill). It spun about, went through a field fence jumping a road, through another field fence jumping another road before coming to a stop after going through about 3 rows of vineyard. It covered nearly a third of a mile, never quit running, never rolled. It did bend the frame. You really have to work to roll one of those. For labor, I like them. They complain they are slow but I like that. We have had two deaths on ATVs and nothing serious with the Gator.
People will criticize them on this site but they are pretty dang safe.
