According to the Ramsey/Sleeper Standards, a three wheel cart has a clearance circle of 19'-6" and a four wheel cart has a clearance circle of 24'-0". I guess the clearance circle tells you how many golfers it can take out at once?

an average 4x8 cart has between a 17' and 20' turning radius

That's just a slightly tighter turning radius than my tee shot!!

It depends on how fast your going and how wet the grass is. :lol:

I was going to ask if that was a horizontal turning radius or verticle. They don't need very much space at all to roll over if you are going fast enough (the first roll that is).

Search for yamaha golf carts on the web. Their 4 wheel version has about a 9.5' turning radius. 17' and 20' is for actual cars. Trucks have a bout 40'.

Yeah, Ramsey and sleeper list it as Clearance Circles (diameters) not radius.

YEAH, THAT SOUNDS BETTER BUT ONE OF THE SITES I FOUND LISTED 17-20. . .ANYWAY, WE GOT IT WORKED OUT, AND ENDED UP NOT REALLY NEEDING IT TOO MUCH, SO I DIDNT INVESTIGATE MUCH FURTHER.
