You can stick big bucks in a power quad also


Yep, you can put big bucks in a Chevy Cavalier, too.

But to be clear, I've seen many Powerquads go 10k plus hours with out major repairs. Even on loader tractors. And then when they did need repair, $5 to 7k later, they were good to go. A 20 series IVT was pretty much $20 to $25k, and too many didn't get past 5k hours before that happened.

(Edited to add) Unless you live in PA, and get the Mennonite boys to fix your 20 series IVT transmissions. They have learned where to source OEM parts other than through Deere.

Everybody likes to bash on "tightwad" Mennonites. Not saying there's never a downside to being a "tightwad", but the Mennonite boys couldn't stomach the cost of an IVT replacement as the only repair option for a 6X20 series tractor, and came up with other/much cheaper options.

Kudos to them!!
