Gator-ing along

We are very fortunate to have not just one, but two "Gators" on our farm.  They are both true work horses.  The older one, purchased 12 years ago, does all of our "dirty work."  Anything that needs moved that is not food related gets hauled on this gator.  This includes firewood, shovels, rakes, chainsaws, gas cans, straw, etc.  It has 1,200 hours logged on the engine and still runs great.  We've had to replace the tires, not because they were worn out, rather they kept getting thorns in them from young locust trees.  Other than that, we've only had routine maintenance expenses.

After a lot of thinking, planning and number crunching, we decided it was in our best interest to purchase a second Gator.  Our newer Gator, purchased spring of 2014, only hauls produce harvested from the fields.  Therefore there is no chance of contamination to the produce.

We are very grateful for having both of these gators.  They save us a lot of time and work!
