  • Gator power
    By Ray Henderson (I am an Owner) on Nov 26, 2021

    We have owned our Gator for 9 years. We have flogged it and it has not missed a beat. This year I replaced some bushes in the suspension the first problem we have had. I'm amazed at the reliability. I service it and it thanks me by never missing a beat. No names mentioned but mates have fancy SUVs ...

    I highly recommend Gators.

  • 855 D Gator
    By Jimmy Moore (I am an Owner) on Jul 01, 2012

    My 855D JOHN DEERE GATOR AFTER driving it 1 hour gets so hot on your legs and feet you have to stop and let it cool down 1 hour or more before continuing to drive it. I dont think this is right and is any one else having this problem.
