My wife uses the gator around our property to pick items in the garden. Some of the items are close to the house and others are back 1500 feet into the property. My wife is 5' and 100 pounds and sometimes the steering can be hard in the tight areas. 90 percent of the time the gator is at 20mph or less.
I talked with her about getting a new style with the power steering and I did not get a good look. I cannot imagine what one like ours would cost. We need the plastic roof, the metal bed guard so stuff does not come forward from the bed, hydro dump, brush guard & offroad lights. Plus I am spoiled by the diesel when I am spraying with it.
I bet thats 16K in a new machine... Not going to happen.
