diesel ATVs, are there any military ones?

[OPCOM]

Is there a military ATV or a military diesel ATV?

Just thinking about it.. I got a Yamaha Wolverine - a good unit, 4x4, narrow compared to many so it can go places, mostly an appropriate color etc. Even has a PRC-77 mounted on it and it beats those ham radios in the woods no question. I've been considering putting a VRC-12 type antenna on it. I could take down the masts and just use the radio's whip when moving, and use the big one when necessary.

-But I'd like a diesel one, and a military one to boot. I only have room for one machine of this type. I'd want it enough to sell the Wolverine, as much as I like it.

Diesel UTVs are common, but I personally have not seen a diesel ATV. The diesel UTVs I've seen are much larder than what you have pictured, I'm not sure there's a diesel ATV/UTV out there that's as small /light as the (350 or so?) ATV you already have.

The kawaski mules come in diesel, don' think they are military.

Polaris made a diesel quad years ago. The only other manufacturer I can think of that's "currently" producing a diesel quad is Arctic Cat.

I do not know much about ATV's except they look like a riot to own if you have the property - I remember this one back in 2007:
Arctic Cat Releases Diesel Fueled ATV

I had to Google it to recall it - old age thing

I did see a diesel Polaris years ago. I believe it was being pushed on the logging industry. I don't think they have sold it in many years and I don't know who made the engine. The closest I know of is the John Deere M-Gator. These are equipped with a Yanmar diesel. They are now being surplused out and sold on GL, as the military upgrades to the M-GatorA1, which has a larger engine and some other improvements. The ones I've seen at auction have gone for rather large sums.

Polaris makes an ATV that will run off of Diesel or JP-8 for the military. It is full time 4x4 with solid OD plastic's, a no frills ATV. http://www.polarisindustries.com/en...peOnline/ATVInsider/articles/militaryatvs.htm

The Navy lake site in Atlanta uses Kawasaki Mules which are either gas or diesel. I have seen several Army John Deere Gators in Pakistan which were diesel. Our squadron just ordered two more fully loaded Yamaha Rhinos-they are gas though.

I do believe that a couple years ago Polaris was making a Diesel ATV, I do know that Kawasaki was building a diesel motorcycle for the Army which was the same reason Polaris was building the ATV for, Now I do not know if these are still offered my the MFG but to maby at least get you looking in the right direction Good Luck!

The only thing missing for a Gator is golfclubs or garden tools.

The danish armed forces are using Polaris Sportsman 500's as ATV's. But whether they are petrol or diesel powered I don't actually know. But those we got are 6 wheelers with AWD on demand.
