Large, durable cargo box for heavy hauling

The strong, 16-gauge cargo box allows hauling heavy and bulky cargo.

 

The load of the box is placed directly over the rear wheels, where the load is in the most stable position. The 64 cm (25-in.) load height for the Gator™ TS allows easy loading and unloading of material.

Box capacity

	Gator TS
Volume	286 L3 (10.1 cu ft)
Weight	227 kg (500 lb)

The cargo box can be manually tilted up to allow access to the drive system or to assist in cleaning out the box.

• A prop rod is provided to hold the box in the upright position for operator convenience.

Box dump angles (degrees)

 

	Gator TS
Manual dump	48.5 degrees
Power dump	47.5 degrees

 

The tailgate can be opened or removed for easier cleanout and to carry longer items.

 

The box design includes tie-downs on load guard and box sides.

CAUTION: Carrying extra-long cargo that extends beyond the box can adversely affect stability.

Precision-engineered drive system

Power is transmitted from the engine, through a continuously variable clutch system, to a transaxle. Power is transmitted from the transaxle directly to the rear axle.

 

Key elements of the drive system are as follows:

Variable-speed drive

 

The variable-speed drive consists of two clutches connected by a drive belt:

• Drive clutch is attached to and rotated by the engine.
• Driven clutch is attached to and drives the transaxle.

Features include:

• Infinite selection of speeds (0 kph to 32 kph [0 mph to 20 mph])
• No shifting necessary as operator increases speed
• Adjusts speed to the load to avoid bogging down when going up a hill or through challenging conditions because the wrong gear was selected

How the variable-speed drive works:

1. As the engine speed increases, the spring-loaded drive clutch is closed by weights being forced out by centrifugal force.
2. As the drive clutch closes, the belt rides up to the largest diameter of the drive clutch and forces open the driven clutch.
3. With the belt running in the smallest diameter of the driven clutch, the speed being transferred to the transaxle is increased.
4. The driven clutch is designed to sense varying loads (inclines, mud, etc.) and constantly adjusts the drive speed upward or downward, so the engine rpm remains constant at constant throttle position.

Transaxle

 

The transaxle is fully enclosed and runs in oil for reliability.

 

Helical gears are used for quiet operation.

 

Differential design reduces scuffing of the turf during turns because the inside wheels turn slower than the outside wheels (vehicles that have a solid axle shaft must skid the inside wheel when making a turn).

 

Traction assist (differential lock) is built into the transaxle:

• Allows locking the rear drive wheels together
• Provides increased traction in tough spots

A neutral start safety interlock is provided for the engine ignition system.

 

Heavy-duty rear axle housings

 

Gator TS 4X2

Bolt-on cast-aluminum rear axle housings provide an extremely strong supporting structure.

• Large, sealed bearings are located inside the housing for better protection
• Forged-splined shaft for increased torsional strength

Gator TX 4X2

One-piece forged axles are splined for maximum strength.

• Large sealed bearings for better protection and load-carrying capabilities
• Forged-splined shaft for increased torsional strength
• Nodular cast-iron housing for increased durability
