Peg Perego

Peg Perego is an Italian manufacturer of juvenile products (i.e., strollers, high chairs, car seats, children’s ride-on toys). In addition to their home location in Italy, the company now has offices in Brazil, Canada, and the United States.

History

In 1949, Giuseppe Pérego decided to design a baby carriage for his son. His neighbors were impressed and requested their own custom creations. Eventually, the carriages became so popular that he started a company. After carriages, Peg Perego’s baby products have since expanded to include strollers, car seats, and high chairs.

In 1960, the company looked into a slightly more mature market: children's ride-on toys. Peg Perego designed and built plastic, pedal-operated children’s riding vehicles. These toys have become more advanced, and the company now sells battery-powered John Deere, Polaris, Cub Cadet, Ducati, and Vespa ride-on toys for children.

John Deere Gator

The John Deere Gator is a family of small all-terrain utility vehicles produced by the John Deere Corporation. They typically feature a box bed, similar in function to a pickup truck. The bed can also be installed as an electric dump body. The John Deere Gator has been made in a variety of configurations, ranging from 4 to 6 wheels. The Gator line of vehicles are designed to serve on farms, worksites, and ranches, rather than as a pure off-road vehicle. However it is possible to order with specific off road features. In 1992, the vehicle replaced the three or five wheel John Deere AMT, introduced in 1987.

Design

The Gator vehicles use small but powerful 341cc (0.341L) 4 stroke engines found in lawn mowers, or an optional diesel engine that is also found in some Deere Mowers and Utility tractors. They use a continuously variable transmission employing a belt and a conical pulley system. Thus they require no clutch or gear shifts to operate. Many third party attachments are available for the Gator, including snow plows, sanders, and gun racks. The recommended maximum pay load capacity is 600 lbs (272 kg). The size of the AMT was designed to easily be loaded into the back of a pickup truck (of the day) to be transported to various remote and/or hard to get to location that conventional means such as towing a trailer would prove dangerous or troublesome. The overall design of the first and second All-Material Transporter (AMT) were simple, easy to maintain and fix on site. The rugged heavy duty design proved to be a preferred utility machine for various jobs and the overall weight was surprisingly
