Well, sometimes you just have to do it your way!

Yep. Me to JB.

Get a wooden crate and a rope drag those batteries down that hill one at a time. Dang if i'm carrying them.

removing dead batteries will make cart 300 or so pounds lighter thus easier to tow.
Maybe check with local dealer to buy core batteries cheap?

compared to the cost of inexpensive cart batteries just to move a cart, is it less then hiring a towing company to just pull it out and deliver at your shop. garage. ect.?

Seriously this or a cable. There has to be somebody in NY with a truck. Even better with a winch on it.

Obviously we don't know the exact logistics you're working with, but a friend with a wench might be able to pull it up the hill. When you last tried to push it, did it still have the old batteries in it? I ask because a cart without batteries is only about 550lbs and with batteries is over 900lbs which is a huge difference.

It did have the batteries in it when we last tried to push it, $600 isn’t that bad Bc worst case I’ll throw them on fb market place for half off. This way I only lose $300

REAL temporary as they are the wrong construction type for golf cart usage. But would let you drive it out of it's hole and/or troubleshoot if it won't run.

True but then I still gotta but new batteries if it works

I have a 2020 Ram and an Older Touareg that can pull absolutely anything lol. The problem is the area isn’t accessible

Yes it’s less expensive to get batteries Bc there’s no way a full sized vehicle can get down there

If I lost $300 that easy, I'd be pissed. That would fix a project or two "I just cant find a buck for". Want my PayPal to toss a $100 in?


Just kidding, I wouldnt want a dime!
