JD Gator

[Dahlin WI]

Has anyone had any experience with the new John Deere Gator? We have a 625i, it's not a tractor but it sure does pull and go through and haul. It is beyond my expectations. We always had Polaris 4-wheelers but I don't think we will be going back to them. Any Feedback?

I bought a Used tandem 5 wheeler 15 years ago
with all the bells & whistles at the time.
Other than a Battery or two, & tires we"ve
used it for about everything. A very usefull
machine for our needs.

I have an 850D I use on the farm. Average 500 hours a year on it. It has the independent suspension and I have had to replace a couple of wheel bearings, wheel hub, clutch, brakes, glow plugs, temperature sensor and a boot since I've owned it in the last three years. Not as rugged as the old 6X4 gator I had before(still have with 5000+ hours), but the ride is no comparison. Looked at a new Polaris with the yanmar diesel yesterday and was impressed with it. The Yanmar diesels are excellent engines.

We have three 4x4's, Gator, Polaris, Kubota. Each has it's own job, and love them all.

I have both, A Ploaris 250 and a 5 wheel Gator.
Around here they both get used a lot. The gator is a work horse but slow and the polaris is great to run around quickly.
