What happens here

Josh emphasizes that his farm involves hills, hollers, mud, rocks, and various animals, making the Gator an essential tool. He contrasts the John Deere Gator 825i with other UTVs like the Polaris 1000 XP, Kubota RTV, Bobcat (which he notes is similar to Polaris), Honda Pioneer 1000, Kawasaki Mule, and Mahindra UTVs. He clarifies that his primary need is for a working farm vehicle, not a recreational trail vehicle, emphasizing the Gator's 98% work-oriented usage.

so if you watch my first review of this John Deere Gator it was after about a year of ownership maybe a year and a half and basically I think we had somewhere in a neighborhood of a hundred hours on the machine now we're wracked up to about 500 hours I've been using it around the farm a whole lot in case you don't know about our farm here this is a 200 acre farm in North Central North Carolina set in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains I have a lot of hills hollers mud rocks hay goats chickens we had some pigs animals to take care of and the Gator was a very essential tool to have here on the farm I don't know how I would have done without it that being said how does it compare to other side by sides or UTV's well I had the opportunity to drive the Polaris 1000 I think it's called the XP 1000 also had the opportunity to drive the Kubota RTV I believe is what it's called and I looked at the Bobcat which is basically a Polaris and some of your gear guys might not agree but you go ride a Polaris and then you go look at the Bobcat machine and you'll see two almost identical machines I don't know if the engines are the same but they're just about identical I also looked at the Honda I think it's called the Pioneer it's the 1,000 UTV which is absolutely not what I needed on the farm I also had the opportunity to look at the Kawasaki Mule and we went and looked at the Mahindra brand UTV we're not talking about a UTV for riding around on trails we're talking about a UTV for working on your farm and something you could use to ride around on trails we're talking about something that's going to be for fun about 2% of its life and about 98% of its life is gonna be for this for taking care of the farm for hauling hay bales for haul and fertilizer inline feed stuff like that personnel things that you need I'll give you a few thoughts here on what I think needs to be improved on the Gator after having driven the other machines these things are minor nuances as compared to the major things that I didn't find very attractive about the other machines so let's take you around the gator I'll
