 Golf cart, ATV or Gator type vehicle?

Cutter, I have neighbors at my property with all of the above. Most of what I looked at is a LOT more $$. The ATV are around 7k for the biggest ones I have looked at. The Gators are nice as well but the Polaris is very nice. They make a commericial version that you will find some JD dealers handle. The Cushman would not be for me but the EZ go is a option, especially at that price. The ones my neighbors have are green with a hard top. Not fast or going to pull or haul mutch. I like the gators or the Commercial Polaris the best but there are lots of choices in that market. Dave

Murf those are pretty slick machines. I see they want $3,100 for a 2001 with a gas engine. Does that seem right against the prices Cutter mentioned ??? At under 2k Its got me thinkin one would be pretty handy at camp. I just stayed away from the 4 wheelers and the others so far due to the cost and I dont want to leave something that expensive up north untill I get a better garage built. Dave

Murf, being Canadian couldn't you get a nice discount on a Bombardier engine to drop in one ?? A 600 blizzard should put her at about 70 mph ? Just like being on the boat Smile Dave

Reminds me of Hi karate ! Laughing out loud. Does the dealer in your area have a web site ? For that price It would probably be worth it for me to drive over there. Dave

Murf do you have electric ? How long does it take to charge the batteries ? Art, Wow, that sounds like a real bargain !I was looking at the EZ go gas 480. I think its 15 hp and its rated at 17 mph. How big is the engine in the Yamaha ? Dave

Murf, Thats why I was thinking primarily gas as well. I dont really care too much about the aftermarket stuff. The most I would ever do is lift it and put bigger tires on. There would be no "need" for that other than to tinker. Did you pick up your used ? These are a Lot more here than what is getting posted. With the exchange rate it might be worth my time to hop over your way as Toronto is only 4 hours from me. I can actually get to upstate New York as fast as to my property. Laughing out loud. You guys really got me thinking on this deal. I completely had it out of my mind for this year as I was thinking it would cost soooo much more $$. The Yamaha is about 50cc bigger than the EZ Go. I worked for more than my share of country Clubs in the past and I know how the EZ go's were getting worked on and charged all the time. Dave

Murf, $1750 is actually a very good price. I have seen $2500 for a totally re-built out of S Carolina. New around $3,600. Can you post their site ? Most of the used I am seeing look used and abused. Dave

I am not even seeing any thing 10 years old at auction for $1200. The totally rebuilt ones for $2500 are starting to look good but $1750 sounds fair for a 1998 or newer. Dave

Mark, The Lynx is a very nice machine for the $$$. Too bad they put a electric motor in it instead of the 9 hp Kowasaki gas engines that Club Car ( Ingersoll Rand ) uses. Club car is very popular here. They have an aluminum frame. There is a camo body available for them to swap out with the regular one for $600. Try www.GolfCartsPlus.com Cutter, here is the Link to the place that has the rebuilt ones. Be sure to check out the feature cart with the beer cooler in the trunk and a Kenwood Stereo Smile www.Sutcliffegolfcarts.com

I test drove a few carts today. The Yamaha is noticeably faster than the EZGO. The Yamaha is a twin cylinder overhead cam and the EZGO is a single cyilder overhead valve. The ones I saw were more abused than used. The dealer did offer a 1 year warranty. At theese prices he should. A 1996 Yamaha was $1750. A 1997 Yamaha was $1995 and a 1998 EzGo was $2100. They were in rough shape. I did drive one with new over sized wheels/tires and a lift kit. That makes a HUGE difference and will most definately be what I want. The Best prices I am seeing are from a place out of Alabama that sells on eBay. The can ship to a terminal in Detroit for $250. They have Yamaha gas models. 2000 is $2300 ! 1999 is $1900. They also have a 2000 with the lift kit new oversize tires with steel wheels, aluminum bed and lights for 3k. Dave

Thats a couple hundred more than I am seeing on electrics. Id make sure I got a 48v system and not 36v if I got electric, and I would get electric IF I had electricity at deer camp. You definately want new batterys and a charger. You might want to make sure the batteries are new and not newer. Laughing out loud. They like to play with words. Dave

Murf, As the executive chef for numerous large private CC I have always had a cart at my disposal. This is often necessary to kick some bodys butt ata half way house or take a cook to a BBQ function, run fod etc etc. I cant tell you how many times I have had to push some damned electric cart up the last friggen hill to the kitchen at 10 pm after a 18 hour day. Most clubs also keep a few mule types that are gas. I learned about 15 years ago to feed the cart guys and the maintenance guys what they want, when they want. I have been out of that game and on my own a long time now but I still remember how much I dont like electric carts. I did see a 48v Yamaha, '99 with new batteries in 02 for 1600 plus about 250 shipping. Dave

Iam still thinking about it. If I did go electric I would want 48v. I can get a 99 Yamaha 48v out of Alabama for 1600 plus 250 shipping. The batteries were new in 02. I cant find much info on replacement batteries and cost. I Just dont like electricity. The x used to tell me I was going to fall from a high place and get electrocuted ! Laughing out loud. Dave

murf, Thanx for the link. a couple of thoughts, the 48v conversion doesn't seem like much of a deal. Most 48v systems are only about 400 more than the 36 on a used cart and all the wireing is set up for it. Add the cost of 8 batteries to the 400 and 2k for a cart and your getting right up their before wheels/lift. The lynx that Northern Tool sells direct from club car has my interest at the moment.Mark H put a link up to it. Its $4,400 on easy pay with free freight. They are 48v with new T-875 batteries and completely refurbished, new brakes, new everything, bushings, seat, lift, tires, cart, camo. The problem is my damn Generac generator is louder than the 2210. Plus the noise in the days before the hopefull bang the generator would not be welcome. On the other hand I hope to have a cabin with power in the next three years. Dave

Murf, you gotta tell me where I can find a "handy man special" under $1600. That IS the handyman special. Add 250 for freight and $800 for batteries, 700 for a proper lift kit/wheels/ and a bed and lights and it WAYYYY more than I want to spend. Laughing out loud. I am going to stick with gas. For $800 I can buy a new motor and the gas ones are pretty darn quiet too. I can get a '99 for 2100. Either I pay the tax here or the freight their it comes out about the same. Some dealers here are as high as $2800 for a '99. Dave

Ok, I looked at a club car '98 yesterday. $2,150. Thats roughly the same as eBay priceing but a year older. Although I can see exactly what I'm getting. A trade off either way. How many hours do you guys think one of theese little single poppers will go before kicking off ? They were 550-600 hours. So general conversation lets assume they get scheduled service but no more than whats required. Dave

Not much progress on the carts here. I was looking at a 1990 Yamaha for $1250, gas. The guy tells me that Yamahas before '96 are VERY difficult to paint. The best price I am finding is $1600 for a '96 in Iowa and it will take about $200 to get it. I also am stll mulling the electric idea and there is a '99 48v Yamaha for $1900 plus 250 delivery. I cant find much info on those batteries murf, no prices etc. That one did have new batteries in 02 but they were the smaller ones. Locally the best I can find is a '98 Club car with 600 hours for $2150 plus 6% tax. I can get a 2000 club car with about 400 hours just past Chicago for $2300 plus $100 in fuel. Onme thing that puzzles me slightly on the Yamaha is no oil filter on the engine. Descions, descions. Cutter, I am seeing some good prices on eBay from a guy in Gettysburg, PA. If thats not a long drive for you, he has a 48v up now. Dave

Murf, I hear ya but I still cant find anything that doesn't look like it belongs in the junk yard for that price. In fact the best I can do with getting it here is a 1990 for $1250. For a Grand more I can get a a model 10 years newer. If I have to buy a new motor for the old one, or $800 nearly makes up for the difference, and thats not considering the new ones are green and dont need to be painted, the tires dont have to be replaced, the seals, the differential, belts, batterys etc. I am talking to a guy on a 96 so I hope to strike a balance between the two. But I understand what you are saying. Once you fix it you know what has been done and not just what some one else has told you. Dave

Cutter, Thats the same guy I had been talkin to on a '99 for 1900. It sold and he was checking on some others. I did see the 2000 model he has with the lift tires and bed for 3k. The delivery from him is 250 which is a really good price. Did you ask him to build one for you on a 01 cart ? I see he is at $2300 just for the 01. I thought the '99 was a bettter buy for $400 less. Right now I am talking to a guy on the other side of chicago. You will find him on the first page of eBay golf carts if you sort by highest price. He has 2000 Club Cars for $2300. They look really nice. I drove a '98 club car the other day it was $2150 plus 6% tax. I can get to this guy and back in one day, maybee $100 for gas so for about $100 more I can get a cart two years newer Plus his are green which is nice for the woods. I also found a guy in Minnesota today with 48v electrics for 1400. I'm waiting for a ship price from them but I am pretty much tryin to decide between the alabama Yamaha or the Chicago club car. Dave

Jeff, Thanx for the leads. Carts in Michigan are for the most part just too expensive to make any sense at all for what I need. Boylan sales was a new one I had not seen. I will give them a call. Most of the others prices for me with fuel are about $300 more Plus 6% tax, for a cart 1-2 years older than I can get by going to Wisconsin or just past Chicago. Most of what I am seeing here is far more abused than used. Dave

soooo what was in the boxes ???? I did call the dealer that was mentioned above. Boylan sales, Very nice people and thanx again for the link. They are a Yamaha distributor and have a lot of carts. They have some handyman specials that murf was referring to but still not a good deal for me. Non running 2 strokes $500 non running early 90's 4 strokes $750. They have 1990-93 G-8 yamahas for $1300 and 95-96 G-14 Yamahas for 15-1600 and the same 95-96 reconditioned for 2k as well as newer models. I was thinking of lifting one and putting bull horns on the front, painted with a bull face on on the back airbrushing "NO BULL" Laughing out loud. Dave

The 4 wheeler is a better buy for a single rider but the cart can have a bed for the chain saw and some cold sodas. I also dont want to get too crazy with mine as I just want to leave it in the woods. I think overall the best deal I am seeing is the lifted one with the aluminum bed and big tires from alabame for $3250 with shipping. That was on a 2000 Yamaha. I do actually like the club car best though. I had things a bit twisted in my mind as the Yamaha is a single cylinder and does not have a oil filter. The club car and EZ go are twins with filters. The club car also has a aluminum frame which is very nice. I read a on line article that said they were picked the best carts by the Country club grounds keepers association for reliability and ease of maintenance for six years straight. Dave

I guess I have just not really looked at the 4 wheeler stuff. I always tend to look at the models that are 7k. Even the smaller ones I know I cant just leave in the woods. I decided to change my user Id as their seemed to be some confusuin as per my chosen profession. I am a Executive chef by trade so I chose Mise en Place. Which is just a common french cooking term that basicly means "to put in place". I do however have interest in more than one private corporation and have been self employed for several years. I am also a state certified mechanic and attended university for airframe and powerplant mechanics. I did not finish due to the death of my great aunt and the fact that I could not afford the tuition even with student loans and two full time jobs. It didn't help that I chose a university in Daytona Beach. I also felt it might be confuseing for some as I was still being called Doc. I wanted to go with sufferin succotash but I couldnt shorten it to 10 characters. Maybe I should have gone with BAM ! or opah. Laughing out loud. Dave

Art, I sure would like to know if that lift kit is difficult to put in or if a person with a fair amount of mechanical garage tinkerin aptitude could handle it. It seems like a 1970's era single cylinder Roatax would be just the ticket in one of theese, they even operate on the same type of clutch/drive system. Dave

Laughing out loud, yeah but no one but you would know that unless we have some other French canadians. How about tentfrites ? Ok, one thing I love about you guys is your potatoe chip fetish. Canadians LOVE potatoes. Where else can you buy fries on the beach or get ketchup or dill pickle flavored chips ? Maybe I should have chose Culdesac so you could just shake the bottom of the bag clean every now and then . Smile (or pop it). I have ruled out the club car because the aluminum frame has to be cut to install a proper lift. The EZGO is less than the yamaha as are the parts BUT I like the ride on the Yamohaha better plus its 11hp. Theres a lot to be said for the reliability of a single thumper. On the lift kits there is a endless wave of choices. The company that art chose uses blocks to get a lift or at least the ones I saw on their site are. The other type I am seeing is completely new front axle, A frame, Tie rods and shock mounts. About the same price. Even thought the one for 3k seems a good value I am a little leary as I cant see the components or quality of the lift. I would rather do my own work. Dave

 Golf cart, ATV or Gator type vehicle?

No no No. Heart attack on a plate is alfredo. eggs, butter. creme, pasta, a little sheelfish and bottle of crisp white wine. I agree with you on the lift kits. Especially iof you are going to tear down the front end I would want to replace the bushings in the king pins if their are any. Now this will really tax my french, vocabulary, memory and typing skills but see if you make any sense out of this one murf......Plus ca chance plus cest ca mems chose. Dave

I think the old style yamaha kit I was looking at with all of the frame pieces was 350 ish and the block type was 275 ?? The other on line store that has parts is golfcarcatalogdotcom. When you buy the lift kit with tires and rims thery discount 10%. The lift with steel wheels and the biggest tyires is like 575. Art are you guys selling the club car buggies ? how much do those puppys cost ? Dave

Art I was referring to the CUB CADET as a dealer. I thought that was what you were talking about in a previous post. Their new utility vehicles. Arent they like 6k in 4x4 ? I was looking at mules as I ponder all of this stuff. A abused used mule is 5k ish. They do make a Mule with just the same Kawasaki Golf cart engine in it that Club Car uses. Its $5800. I guess by that measure fixing one of theese carts up is a true bargain. I'd like to know how you like your lift kit once you get it on. If it was difficult to install etc. I went back and looked at the lift kits and I did miss that yours came with the tires so indeed it is half the price of the other system. The Best price I am finding so far is arouund $1450 on a 93 Yamaha in good shape. With the lift you bought and a klight kit I would be under 2k which is what peaked my interest in this in the first place. Dave

Well after driveing all day I took the plunge. First I went to Toledo to look at 98 EZGOS for $2000 that were not worth $20. JUNK. Then I drove to Lansing or actually Eaton Rapids. Found the best dealer I've looked at with many nice clean cars. They had '98 EZGO's for $2150 but they were in excellent shape. Green/tan, newer tires new battery, serviced, new filters and a 90 day warranty. I bought one that had been lifted with the Factory 8" lift kit, New front axles, new shocks, tie rods, 4 leaf rear springs etc with the monster mudder type tires and steel wheels. Also got a P/U style bed. $3250 plus tax. By far the best deal I've seen. They had many to drive and a nice place to try them out. I've gotta haul the tractor north tomorrow as my long awaited deer blind is supposed to be here from Texas on Sunday. My wood splitter is scheduled to arrive this week so hopefully next weekend I will get to haul the EZGO and the splitter north. It seems I've been capitulateing all summer and everythings here at once ! Includeing all the work I'm behind on. I'm sure I'll be splitting wood while the boss is out trail rideing on her new toy. At least I WILL have my tractor back. evansgolfcars dot com Dave

Sounds Like you got just what you needed. I spent about 1k more than I wanted to but the difference in carts that were lifted was so great that I just decided to get one all done. I'll post a pic on Manday. I only could have saved about $100 by doing it myself...If I didnt screw something up or need some new tool. I dont know much about the Cats as I was always a Ski Doo Fan. Laughing out loud. But it seems pulling that much would have been taxing a cart. I just wanted something fo my wife so I could have my tractor back. The most it will haul is a chainsaw and fuel with drinks so I'm sure it will serve us well. I stopped in Cabelas along the way and picked up a new Marlin 44 mag. I've had the new cowboy gun with the 20" octagon barrel on order for several months. Apparently they are not going to put those in production this year so I settled for the 20" round barrel. How big is the cat ? 4x4 ? Dave

I had the fun buggy out for about an hour. I was truelly impressed with what it can do. Photo # 9 is up but not the best. I have to gather all the help I can this weekend to set up this deer blind but If I have time I will try to get a better photo of it in the mudd or something good like running from a black bear. Laughing out loud. Dave

Theres usually not nearly enough room in the garage. I had a log splitter arrive from northern Tool today so now theres even less. I have to tote this stuff up north this weekend. Is it just my imagination or did the photo size here get even smaller ? After loading photos 3x the size on the other site theese seem really small. But at least they remain a part of your profile which is nice. Dave
