Impressed by a couple John Deere Gator units we
followed long-term, both in private and commercial agricultural
applications, we were very interested to take a look at their
latest offerings. Their new Buck and Trail Buck line of utility
ATVs launched this spring, as well as several new members to the
Gator family. With our love of the new Yamaha Rhino, we took
special note of the only-slightly-tamer John Deere Trail Gator
HPX 4x4. Their press schpeil gives us a glimpse:
Never Go Halfway
A welcome addition to the line, the new Trail Gator utility vehicle adds a whole level of performance, ruggedness, style, comfort to the legendary reliability that has always run in the Gator family.
We like the idea, and we think the timing is
right. With ATVs currently outselling motorcycles, it's obvious
off-road enthusiasts are looking for ways to maximize their
recreation dollars. A vehicle under $10k that can work as well as
it plays gives obvious great bang-for-the-buck. John Deere is long
known and highly regarded for their tractors and lawnmowers - we
look forward to bringing you an up-close look at the Trail Gator to
see how this technology translates to a high-performance utility
vehicle as well. How does it stack up next to a more traditional
ATV for fun or hit-the-trail access? We're starting to see the new
2004's at Dealers, so we'll be looking to get our hands on one for
the busy spring work & play season to bring you real-life
testing before you plunk down those big bucks of your
own.
