Wich as more torque: Club car DS or Ezgo Marathon (electric)

[Grab]

Hi everyone,
i'm looking forward to buy a used cart to work on my litlte farm. I need something strong to pull things and carrying water. Do you know wich cart has the best torque (more powerfull) beetween Club Car DS or a Ezgo Marathon?
Thanks

All these carts being designed for the same task, they are about the same. There is nothing harder to haul than water. The weight is great and unless it is restricted the live loads are impressive.


So, how much water. What size cart tires? What kind of footing and type of terrain? Once we have this info we can determine if this is a feasible project

The terrain is pretty flat, the soil is lightly sandy.
I want to transport around 60 liter (60Kg or 130 lb) or so. I thought keeping 8' tire with chains or getting tractor tire (like Carlisle 18x9,5-10) for back wheels.
Thanks for respond!

I hate to say this but in stock form, I would prefer the club car with the Curtis controller "series" controller, over the ezgo "series" system IF the ezgo controller is covered up with a big sealed cover. this may be a bit much for the beginner but, look at the motor controller, if you can see an aluminum box where the big cables attach on the ezgo, that is better in my opinion. The clubcar charging system is problematic on 48v carts. Others may disagree with this opinion, but, i have VERY limited info on the carts you are looking at.

Ok, i have seen more ezgo pulling charges on the net. Il check for the controller (is that the pedal?)
Here is the photos of the carts i am looking for right now.

Thanks

Those are older, the blue one doesnt even have a controller, it has resistor coils. The controller is an electronic voodoo box under the seat with a bunch of big wires going to it. Resistor coil cars are a poor choice for towing at any speed other than full throttle (it may try to set itself on fire, or burn anything below it).

So, cgtech, you think the white one would be a good choise if it has a controler in a aluminium box?
Thanks for all
im a newbie in all this

gctech is telling you right, the control in the Ezgo will be black (350a Curtis)
130 pounds is not a lot of weight... these are heavy old metal carts. This adds to the load before you get started. They can work but if you can find an aluminum framed plastic body CC with electronic speed control you would be way ahead as suggested
