Precision-engineered drive system optimizes acceleration, hauling, towing, and hill-climbing capabilities

Precision-engineered drivetrain system

The Gator™ HPX Utility Vehicle has a precision-engineered drivetrain system to better utilize engine power, to improve acceleration, hauling, towing, and hill-climbing capabilities. Power is transmitted from the engine through a continuously variable clutch system to the transaxle.

Key elements of the drive system include:

Transaxle with high and low ranges, neutral, reverse, and park
Engine
Variable speed drive

Variable-speed drive

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

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

Features include:

A low- and high-speed forward gear offering:
- Low range is 0 km/h to 19 kp/h (0 mph to 12 mph)
- High range is 0 km/h to 40 kp/h (0 mph to 25 mph)
Adjusts engine speed to the load to avoid getting bogged down when going uphill or through difficult terrain
Overall reduction ratios:
- Low 94:1
- High 41:1

How variable-speed drive works:

As the engine speed increases, the spring-loaded drive clutch is closed by weights being forced out by centrifugal force.
As the drive clutch closes, the belt rides up to the largest diameter of the drive clutch and forces open the driven clutch.
With the belt running in the smallest diameter of the driven clutch, the speed being transferred to the transaxle is increased.
The driven clutch is designed to sense varying loads (inclines, mud, etc.) and constantly adjusts drive speed upward or downward so that engine rpm remains constant at constant throttle position.
Start in gear, neutral, or park position for quick starting. The service brake must be engaged to start when in gear or neutral.
To shift out of park, the service brake must be pressed to release the parking solenoid. An audible click will be heard and then the vehicle can shift out of park into the desired gear.

Transaxle and mechanical front-wheel drive (MFWD)

Transaxle and MFWD

Two-speed fully enclosed oil bath transaxle allows superior pulling ability
MFWD and rear transaxle are protected by skid plates
Helical forward and reverse gears are used for quiet operation
Selectable four-wheel drive (4WD) system with a limited slip front differential and dash-mounted electronic rocker switch
- Provides exceptional traction in challenging conditions
- More control descending hills with 4WD engaged – all four wheels help slow the vehicle down, and clutch engagement is still necessary to prevent free-coasting
- Near instantaneous torque to the front wheels once electronic switch is engaged
- Maintains turf-friendly operation in two-wheel drive (2WD mode)
- Combined with rear traction assist - (differential lock) can provide excellent traction in challenging conditions

Electronic rocker switch for 4WD and rear differential lock

Operator conveniences include bucket seats, operator protection system, cup holders, glove box, and 12-V outlet

The deluxe cab frame is available as attachments for field conversion when the operator has an incident where the structure is damaged and needs to be replaced.

Extra-durable deluxe cargo box ensures hard-working performance and longevity

Cargo box made of polypropylene

Cargo box provides long performance

The deluxe cargo box consists of a 15 percent glass-filled polypropylene composite material that eliminates rust and dents and reduces noise. Base equipment includes a spray-in cargo box liner and rear cargo box lights. Optional rear light protectors are an available kit.

Deluxe cargo box tailgate

Tailgate handle

Tailgate open

Tailgate lowered to 150 degrees

The tailgate can be opened or removed for easier cleanout and to carry longer items. The tailgate has been improved, features truck-like performance, and can be operated with one hand.

The standard-installed lanyards can also be removed to lower the tailgate to 150 degrees for convenient loading and unloading tasks.

Deluxe cargo box tilt

Integrated handle for manual cargo box tilt

The deluxe cargo box is easier to latch, unlatch, raise, and lower with the integrated handle design and gas assist.

A prop rod is provided to hold the box in the upright position for operator convenience, as well as limit box pivot travel.

Integrated tie-down points
