I surely wouldn't trade my John Deere 4X6 Gator for one. Since I have been crippled with neuropathy in both legs, I have had to depend on it to get me back and forth to my ground blind and to carry all my gear. It transported a passenger and his gear and the deer as well and has plenty of traction to get through the slimiest mud hole. There was no indication of how this new vehicle would handle deep mud or snow and ice.
