John Deere Gator Review FROM A REAL PERSON!!! WOULD I BUY IT AGAIN??

What happens here

The Gator features an optional brush guard on the front and front fenders. The presenter notes that the factory lighting system was 'substandard' for working on a large piece of land. He upgraded the vehicle by installing an LED light bar on the front and work lights on the front and rear of the roll bar, allowing him to work effectively after dark. He mentions these upgrades cost around $100-$150, which was more cost-effective than dealer options.

Goal: The presenter highlights optional features like brush guards and discusses the necessity of upgrading the factory lighting system with an LED light bar for farm operations.

let's take you around the gator I'll show you a few things that I like a few things that I don't like a few upgrades that I made to make the Gator more user-friendly things that you might want to do if you buy Gator and a little bit of food for thought let's talk about options and features we got the optional brush guard on the front here and their brush guards on the side of the front fenders but we didn't get them on the back on the tailgate area or on the bed area and we really didn't need them this is an upgrade the lights on this vehicle are okay I'm gonna say okay if you want to see 30 feet in front of you but if you're working on a large piece of land you need more light i upgrade it and put a light bar on the front of this thing I'll post a link down below to the light bar you can pick it up on Amazon so the lighting system on this machine from the factory was substandard in my opinion now is that a deal breaker no I don't think so I upgraded the lights I spent probably a hundred to one hundred and fifty dollars with some switches new lights I put work lights on the front work lights on the back so that I can work out the tailgate in the dark which you oftentimes find yourself doing in a farm situation you got to get the job done sometimes it's after dark and sometimes you need a lot of light right now this thing Byam lights it up like Christmas morning for a little bit of an upgrade cost this lighting upgrade was much much cheaper than I would have paid from the John Deere dealership let's start wheels tires and maneuverability guys this thing will get stuck okay I just want to let you know it will get
