I picked up a Gator 4x6 diesel, it's a beast. I use it at the Deer lease and at the local base ball field where I help out quite a bit. We have a polaris at the baseball field. So while the polaris has higher ground clearance and higher top end speed it is built no where as well as the JohnDeere machine. There is a good reason JohnDeere costs a littel more, you get a well made, easy to maintain machine that will give years of tough service.JMO
