Aluminum Utility Vehicle ATV'S ATV'S 22-6-27 "It's the best riding and handling ATV on the market," says David Turner, Club Car, Inc., Augusta, Ga., about the company's new "Carryall" utility vehicle introduced at the recent Farm Progress Show near Windfall, Ind.
"It outperforms the Kawasaki Mule and Deere Gator in several ways," says Turner. "The aluminum frame won't rust, which is important when you're handling chemicals and fertilizer. The independent front suspension always keeps all four wheels in contact with the ground, and the semi-independent rear suspension with stabilizer bar makes it ride and handle great. The heavy duty stabilizer bar acts like a torsion bar to eliminate sway and allows you to go faster on rough terrain. In comparison, on the Deere Gator the axle shafts are bolted to the frame and the only suspension is what's provided by air pressure in the tires. The Kawasaki Mule has a rear suspension system but no stabilizer bar.
"Another difference is that our Carryall has more power than the Gator and Mule, both of which use a 290 cc Kawasaki engine rated at 9 hp. And our vehicle weighs less. The bottom line is that you can haul a bigger pay-load."
The Carryall is powered by an 11 hp, 351 cc pedal start gas engine and comes with an aluminum frame, chassis, and tilt-up cargo bed. It mounts on heavy duty all-terrain 6-ply tires, with 6.4 in. ground clearance under the differential, and has an independent front suspension and semi-independent leaf spring rear suspension with a heavy-duty stabilizer bar. Other features include a frame-mounted, powder-coated steel brush guard, differential guard, heavy duty rear stabilizer bar, and rear trailer hitch, and 4-wheel brakes. It has a vehicle-rated capacity of 900 lbs. and bed capacity of 500 lbs.
Standard equipment includes a dash-mounted fuel gauge/hour meter combo, two-way radio/beverage holder, 4-wheel brakes, multi-lock park brake, headlights, differential guard, and rear trailer hitch. Options include a light bar with Halogen lights, front and rear-mounted 1,000-lb. winch, turf tires, canopy top windshield (fixed or fold-down), electric lift or hydraulic dump, receiver hitch at front or rear, locking glove box, exhaust spark arrestor, pintle hitch, aluminum toolbox, and bed mat.
Sells for $6,196.
