I'm shopping for a used Gator and I've found a couple in the year and price range I am looking for. I had my 3 year old Polaris Ranger stolen from my farm but what I got after the insurance claim will not cover a new one and barely covers a couple of used ones the same year I could find. I had zero issues with my Polaris over 3 seasons of farm work. I have concerns about the Gator's reliability but the used market is way more price friendly than the Polaris.
I never used the Ranger 800 to its full potential or performance. I basically run chores around the farm, hauling bags of feed, fertilizer & lime, tree stands and deer during hunting season and once I had to pull my 20 HP JD 750 tractor out of a ditch.
So, I think I could get away with the 625i Gator power wise. And I found two 2012s in my area with under 1200 hours for a great deal. I'm willing to step up a few years & a few bucks but I'd like to be under $8,000. I appreciate any input.
