Hello,
Since two years we have at our company fire in Thüringen/Austria a John Deere Gator XUV 825i as a Firecar (see the picture). On the loading platform we have equipment with a weight of 350kg. The loading platform is built for circa 400kg. Our problem is that the loading cage is about 30cm lower when the equipment is at it. This means that the springs are more stressed and the driving behavior changes. The driving behavior is not bad and the springs are built for this weight, but I think when we have harder springs it would be better.
Until now there were no possibilities for harder springs. Our representatives here in Austria, Landmaschinen Burtscher, has shown me that you have in your country, America, special feathers for sporting purposes with the number BM24021. In Austria we have no experience with this springs.
My question: Is the driving behavior better and will the loading platform with the equipment keep the height or lower it despite with the new springs again? Dont forget, we have a weight of 350kg at the platform. The application area are 95% solid roads and our company buildings, not off-road.
We have to know this because we could only buy it when it will be much better than before. Please tell me some advantages. Or do you know who could answer my question?
I hope you understand my bad english ;-)
