Having been in the business of selling, demonstrating, hiring and purchasing these utility vehicles, the way technology has moved on I'd suggest for what you seem to need a UTV for I'd suggest a Cushman Hauler Pro X Electric.

Much cheaper to run without the need for 4wd due to drivetrain and lighter weight. Easier to get in and out of than Gator.

See your local Ernest Doe dealership for a demo

If you want to pay for petrol and servicing then go for the Kawasaki Mule SX - available in 2 or 4wd

2013 Defender 130 Puma 2.2 SW Rimini Red

I have a Polaris Ranger 900. Had it from new. It's worked it's ass off during my house refurbishment. It's moved about 100 tonnes from the house (got skip invoices to prove) and delivered just as much. Never missed a beat. 130's have feeling's as well you know

2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Stornoway Grey

JD gaiter - my advice dont get one out of warranty. ours is used hard at 75% max payload over hilly ground most days, two front diffs, drive belts, ignition circuit board failure, prop UJ failures all seem quite common lately! bought new, less than 18mths old, fully dealer maintained, one driver. Cheers

Wow that is some list of failures. Surprised by them though. Normally they are bullet proof. Bro in law has one. Maybe it's not used as hard as yours but they have had no issues with it. Purchased used with a chunk of miles. 110 D250 SE HT
110 USW SOLD
RRE HSE Dynamic Gone, wife killed it
VOLVO XC60 R Dynamic with some toys

Polaris RZR 900XP SOLD
