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

What happens here

Josh details his three primary complaints: 1) Frequent axle breakages, suggesting a potential substandard part or the strenuous nature of farm work. 2) The extremely loud factory exhaust, which he mitigated by installing a 'Gator Silencer' muffler. 3) His biggest regret is not choosing the 4-seater diesel Gator model. He explains that his farm use has evolved from trail riding to requiring more passenger capacity and the torque of a diesel engine for heavy hauling (like hay bales), which the current 2-seater gas model lacks in comparison to his needs.

Goal: The presenter outlines his main complaints about the Gator: recurring axle breakages, the loud factory exhaust, and his regret over not purchasing the larger 4-seater diesel model.

given me trouble axles so I'm on my third axle I broke a sway bar in the rear I've been through one belt and one clutch and the belt and the clutch issue was partly my fault and partly my dealers fault my dealer told me this machine and use it use it you cannot hurt it you won't hurt anything with it I immediately bought the machine and started using it on the farm I had some logs cut down out here there were less than 1500 pounds so I told him right up this dirt road with it I brought the belt and the clutch up in it doing stupid stuff so when I did my first review of the John Deere Gator 825 I I didn't have very much nice to say about it I called it an overpowered golf cart now that I've driven the competition this is not an overpowered golf cart this is a good piece of farm machinery so I'll tell you my top three complaints on the gaiter complaint number one I keep breaking axles I'm not sure if I'm working it too hard or what I'm doing but I keep breaking axles and basically the axle joint itself is what's breaking I don't know if it's a substandard product or a substandard part but I keep breaking axles number two the exhaust was extremely loud we had to put a gator silencer on there to silence the Gator and basically it's an extension of your muffler to make your Gator a little bit more quiet we go hunting we ride around the farm and I just didn't want to hear that bad all the time and that's loud it's annoying I don't want to hear it I want to be able to put around here on the farm I'm not going wide open I'm not ripping it up through the trails in West Virginia I'm going through my farm and I don't want to have to wear earplugs to ride a gator so there was a simple solution and all these little lighting solutions and muffler solutions are things that I had to figure out on my own if you decide to buy this piece of equipment you'll know what you can do the third and final issue that I have with the Gator is I didn't buy the right Gator I should have bought the four-seater Gator okay when we first bought the farm we cut trails all over the place and this thing was fun we're riding around now that we've cleared out some land and we've got wide open spaces and we use this mainly for farming and not for fun I wish I could haul more people on it I also wish that I would have got the four seater and I would have got the diesel model the diesel model doesn't go quite as fast it doesn't have quite as much horsepower it has plenty of torque same towing…
