John Deere M-Gator & R-Gator
The John Deere M-Gator A1 ($TBD) is a combat-proven military utility vehicle that you can now put to use in your backyard. Powered by an 854cc Tier II Yanmar diesel engine, the 6x4 A1 navigates the toughest terrain and features a keyless ignition, dual radiator cooling system, and ample cargo room (1650 lbs total payload capacity) in the front and back. Once only available to military organizations, now the A1 can be purchased by "first responders in search and rescue operations." But we're pretty sure if you've got the cash, you could buy one for your "beer and offroad operations." If you need a high-tech pack mule, check out the John Deere Military R-Gator ($TBD), an autonomous unmanned ground vehicle that lets you troops remotely control it from a laptop. Designed for recon in hostile situations, the R-Gator sports laser range sensors to avoid obstacles and bounce around the battlefield like the daring bot that it is.
