My arena is almost done (YAY!) complete with fiber footing. I have a Dragonfly groomer (does not need PTO) but I have been warned that my old 2WD JD Gator might not have sufficient pulling power to use it on the footing (I have used it successfully on the former clay/sand surface).
It’s wet as heck right now so I have nto tried it. But, assuming I do need something else, what are your recommendations?
(not really interested in a tractor… I know my limits).
I have a friend that uses/ used a Gator with no problems that I am aware of. She has a large indoor with fiber footing and I think has a 5 foot Parma groomer. She does not have a three point hitch so she has to raise and lower the drag by cranking it up or down. She can do her arena FAST with her Gator. I have a similar drag that I use with a tractor and 3 point hitch and I think it is easier to adjust the depth of the tines with this method.
do you know if the Gator is 4WD? thx
I will ask her. I do not know.
“Just a regular gator and I don’t need the 4wd option. It does just fine. Any size should work.”
Response from friend.
thx!!!
My base model Kawasaki Mule 4000, with no 4WD or power steering, handles my Drag-n-fly 60 inch arena groomer just fine.
