  Diesel Gator Turbo

Daaaang! That's a big engine! My 3,000 lb. tractor only has 33 HP, and my big turbo skid steer has 78 HP and it weighs 8,000 lb.

Some bulldozers only have 80 HP and less.

Are you sure it's that big?

And putting a turbo on it will only add, what 15-20 HP?

Nemo: So how did you arrive at the high horsepower figure? My quick googling showed about 20-30 hp for a front mower. Sound about right? How does that compare to what you started with?

Nemo: If no rear seat belts, at the least install golf-cart style hand grab rails.

A buddy at a golf course was riding on a golf cart rear seat and flew out when his buddy made a sharp turn. Long story short, there were no grab rails, he spent 6 days in hospital with brain damage and won a multimillion dollar lawsuit because the golf cart had not be properly modified to carry rear passengers even though they called it a 4-passenger.

I realize this isn't your purpose, but I'd hate to hear about anyone especially a child getting hurt or killed due to not installing some sort of safety device. And like the ROPS the grab rails provide additional protection not only from roll overs but getting whacked in the head or body from tree branches.
