AV-4 Avenger... anyone have one, rode one?

[Rusty-Gunn]

Hi. I seen a few videos on the AV-4 and am quite interested in learning more about them. How does the T-35 transmission compare to the T-20? Does it hold up (durable) as long as the T-20?
What price might these go for?
Anything you can offer would be appreciated. Thank you.

I had one several years ago,It was a fun machine,but found the bottom is a weak point(I broke out a section where the drain plug is). The KT-35 was fairly maint. free but I would get some brake fade from hard useage.

Thank you for sharing your experiences.

I did several mods to the AV-4 before I sold it though,it is also the fastest machine in water I have owned.I bought mine with the winch and bumper,25"Rawhide III tires,enclosed cab mine also had the 16 hp engine.I fabbed a skidplate out of metal and sealed the damaged drain plug area,other than that I wish it would of had the 23hp,16 was a little underpowered in the wet heavy mud where wheelspeed is needed for cleaning the tires.Would I buy another one? YES,as long as I found one worth the money...

Sounds like a decent machine. They look pretty cool, too.

The KT 35 transmission was also used in some John Deer Gators. I drove one once and had a blast!!!
