Utility Box Fits Deere Gators, Others

Utility Box Fits Deere Gators, Others ATV'S ATV'S 26-6-37 "We've had a tremendous response. Everyone who sees it likes it," says Robert Nall about his company's new "Ultimate Utility Bed" that's designed to greatly increase the storage capacity of utility ATV's like the Deere Gator and others. The 24-in. high bolt-on box is made from 18-gauge steel and measures 48 by 60 in. It weighs about 300 lbs. There's a compartment on each side for tools and cargo, with a weather-tight lid and stainless steel lid lock on each compartment. Large objects can be carried in the bed, which has a small tailgate on back. The bed dumps using the machine's original trip lever. Installation requires drilling four holes in the rear part of the utility vehicle's frame and transferring the trip lever hook-up. "I got the idea one day when I passed by a golf course and noticed a greens keeper riding on a Deere Gator," says Nall. "There were a lot of objects hanging off the little bed and several things dragging behind it. I thought there had to be a better way to haul all those different things without having to just pile them on. I went home and pulled my Gator 4 by 2 inside the garage and used pieces of plywood to make a test model." At this time the unit is designed to fit the Deere 4 by 2 and 6 by 4 Gators, the new Cub Cadet 6 by 4 utility vehicle, and the Kawasaki Mule. Suggested retail price for the Gator 4 by 2 model is $1,450; Gator 6 by 4, $1,700; Cub Cadet, $1,700; and Kawasaki Mule $1,650. All prices are fob Quincy, Ill.
