Popular Post farmer52 Posted February 9, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2015 Been looking for a nice used "golf cart". Put a deposit on a 2005 Club Car Turf 1 this past week. Included in the deal are new takeoff cargo box and front cowl. It has less than 1000 hours and one of the better ones that I viewed. It has the smaller FE290 Kaw engine (wanted FE350) but will do for now. It will make its debut at York. So now if I get tired of walking, I can ride my bicycle or drive the cart. I can use the Turf 1 around the farm checking the property and other farm maintenance work. 5 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38855-new-toy-in-the-sandbox/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

grayhair Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 If you wanna upgrade, I got a nice 1000 cc Kawasaki Z engine laying in a corner of the shop. Four valves per cylinder, fuel injected, water cooled. About 160 H.P. You could win any race back to the clubhouse. (I think you're gonna need a stronger differential and drive axles though.)

JTFormula Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 You'll need a nice set of ramps to ride up into the trailer. I will have my flatbed this year and hopefully the General. I can always help you get it out with the rollback if you need. 1 Quote ~ JT Burkard ~ AKA Sweaty Mackwww.jtresto.com www.wickedreputation.netwww.jonathanthomasmotorcars.com Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38855-new-toy-in-the-sandbox/#findComment-278737 Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Thanks JT for the offer. Getting it out of the trailer is the EASY part. But will it be usable after unloading? I am considering a pair of aluminum ramps from Discount Ramps (~$500). I figured the ramps need to be 12' long (based on wheelbase, clearance, and deck height).

Freightrain Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 We have a local racer that dabbles in golf carts. He has some wheelie versions that he uses for shows.
