The ProGator™ Utility Vehicle features a premium disk braking system that consists of four, 190.5-mm (7.5-in.), disks. The disks are cast from vibration-resistant G3000 grey iron and four identical single-piston floating calipers. The brakes are hydraulically actuated for easy pedal effort and excellent performance.

The service linings are constructed of a proprietary noise-resistant organic blend for an excellent mix of life and performance. Brake pedal feel is enhanced with large caliper pistons and flexible brake lines improve routing efficiency and allow for ease of service.

The parking brake lever is conveniently located in the center of the operator station and features a pistol grip handle for maximum comfort and ease of use. The parking brake system utilizes a ball ramp-style mechanism, meaning no adjustment at the mechanism itself, only at the equalizer.

Routine maintenance can often require additional hours for a technician. With sealed bearings throughout the machine, the ProGator™ Utility Vehicles will save the technician plenty of time. 2WD machines feature all sealed bearings and no grease zerks, while four-wheel drive (4WD) machines have only three grease points on the 4WD shaft.

Filling brake fluid is also quick and easy and requires no tools. The front grille of the ProGator is removed simply by pulling it outward from the front of the machine, providing easy access to the brake fluid reservoir. All other daily service points are accessed by simply lifting the cargo box and securing with the lift cylinder safety support. This provides quick access to the coolant level check, engine oil dipstick, and air-restriction indicator.

The ProGator™ heavy-duty utility vehicles feature an optional cargo box for hauling items on the golf course. The cargo box attaches to the ProGator easily, utilizing only two rear pivot pins and one lift cylinder pin. This allows quick and easy changes between ProGator attachments.

A 16-gauge steel frame provides added strength and durability. A standard hydraulic lift and lower cylinder allow for easy lifting of the cargo box to dump sand and other items from the cargo box quickly and easily.

The optional tailgate release kit allows for a dump truck mode, where the tailgate automatically opens from the bottom when the tailgate is raised to allow items to flow out of the box. The tailgate then automatically closes when the box is lowered for fast and efficient operation.

For normal tailgate operation, opening and closing the tailgate is easier than ever. An innovative retractable pin system is the key. A spring-loaded L-pin is located on each end of the cargo box.

To open the cargo box, simply pull the L-pins inward and lower the tailgate. Closing the tailgate is even easier. The angled striker plate design allows the L-pins to automatically retract when shutting the tailgate. When the cargo box is fully closed, the springs will pull the pins into their locking position. This allows for a one-handed closing of the tailgate, similar to that of a pick-up truck.

A bedliner can be ordered as an optional attachment for the ProGator machines. The high-density polyethylene bedliner is stamped with the John Deere logo and protects the steel cargo box and paint from dirt and debris.

The bedliner is designed to wrap around the bottom of the tailgate, preventing gravel and other debris from getting trapped under the bedliner. The bedliner ribs are tapered, allowing materials to flow freely out of the cargo box when it is lifted or being cleaned.

These are the largest standard-sized tires in the market for optimum ground clearance, traction performance, and weight distribution:

• Front 23×10.50-12 steering tires
• Rear 26×12.00-12 drive tires
• Optional 26×14.00-12 rear drive tires for a wider footprint and increased load carrying capacity when using sprayers and topdressers
• 4-ply ratings that improve wear characteristics and provide extra protection against flat tires
• Versatile turf tread design for good traction without damaging the turf
• Smooth front 22×9.50-12 front steering tires offer reduced turf damage. Traction in some conditions will be limited.
• Smooth rear 26×14.00-12 rear drive tires for a wider footprint where the least amount of turf damage is required, which is helpful for sprayer applications on the greens. Traction in some conditions will be limited.
• Fairway rear 26×14.00-12 drive tires offer a wide footprint with minimal turf damage when sprayers or topdressers are used.
• 4-ply ratings offer increased load carrying capacity with improved wear characteristics and provide extra protection against flat tires.
• Required tire option can be declared during machine configuration.
