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

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

With 600 pounds of fertilizer and lime loaded in the bed, the Gator's suspension handles the weight effectively, showing minimal sagging at its factory settings. This is contrasted with how other UTVs, like the Polaris, might perform under similar loads, reinforcing the Gator's utility for heavy farm tasks. The impressive payload capacity for a UTV used in agricultural settings is highlighted.

Goal: The presenter demonstrates the Gator's payload capabilities with 600 pounds of fertilizer/lime and praises its factory suspension for handling the weight without significant sag.

let me show you 600 pounds stresses this machine okay guys now would you expect the suspension to be sagging a bit with 600 pounds of weight in the back of this machine absolutely if I had this amount of weight in the back of that Polaris machine it would really be sagging when I did a quick review on the Polaris machine I had a whole lot of people that liked Polaris that told me well just crank up your suspension just adjust your suspension well this is the factory setting on the suspension here and it's handling the weight just fine the Polaris machine was kind of saggy now when I use a Kubota machine I know it would handle this weight it doesn't droop it doesn't sag it is more of a construction type machine I use the little diesel Kubota if I have to buy a new one of these I'll buy a diesel I didn't venture into loading up the Mahindra machine I didn't even drive it around so I can't tell you a whole lot about that machine but I can tell you the Honda machine has a roll bar that goes all the way back here and it has gadgets it has flip up seats so you can convert the Honda machine from a two-seater into I believe a 5 or 4 seater by flipping up different portions of the bed that's not what I want I don't want a roll bar that extends all the way out here and drops off I can't put a hay bale in the back of it I can't put a round bale in the back of it to go
