Good point - I did. When you put that kind of logic to it - hard to argue!

Good point. Perhaps that is the problem - the $2,000 was exact same - but then I started adding options and got up to $3,500.........

I have a 2011 gator - and was thinking of trading every year to keep my machine "new" - only problem is it will cost almost $2000 (with rebate) to do it.

Got a quote from a dealer, today, and he informed me that his quotation included a $800 rebate valid for machines (ordered or delivered - not sure) in May.

Thought folks might be interested.

Sorry guys - I disagree. When you talk about the Lowe's mower - what is your comparison? An x700.....or a MTD produced $1,000 competitor? This product is intended to compete against other $1,000...

My pleasure Larry....it's a big investment and your concerns are logical. Good luck!

It could be easy to be concerned about the Chery engine. I am not - and here is why:
- The engine is used in cars - from China to Argentina. If you have been in any of these countries - you'd gain...

I've owned my 825i for almost 1 year. To boil it down, this is what you get
- Robust design
- Great balance of performance / ruggedness (work & play)
- Backing in the event you have a problem

I mainly use mine for work - so don't get a lot of miles on it - but haven't had any problems with fuel......but really like it for all the work. It's a great machine.

Follow-up on this - I contacted the dealer I purchased my gator from. He got me in touch with the service department to schedule the fix.....

Guys - for those of us not as close to this issue - what vintage machines would you recommend calling the dealer on this issue? My gator was purchased July of 2011 - and not sure if I should be...

Do you know what date/year Deere made the change to fi the driveshafts? I purchased my gator in July of 2011 - don't put a lot of hours on it - so haven't really noticed this -but would want to get...

825joe - what were the symptoms that caused you to file a warranty claim?

Has anyone made any attachments? (Bumpters / etc.)?

anyone know who is manufacturing these?

Has anyone had bad experiences trailering your gator for extended distances (100-200 miles)? The operator's manual has a warning about trailering on an open trailer and driving at highway...

out of curiosity - what's the advantage of having studs vs. bolts? any fears that the softer threaded rod might be an issue?

BRWolf01 - did you put these on an 825i?

A guy has aluminum 14" gator wheels (no tires) for sale on e-bay. Curious if anyone knows if the standard tires (with the steel rims) will fit these wheels? Thanks for the help.

Curious if anyone knows if the attachments from the prior gator xuv's will fit current 825I? Specifically - rear bumper and the front basket.

That's precisely what I've done - it hangs upside down in-between the two seats. The light is fairly powerful - I used it to light up in front of my driving lights - to give me even greater heads...

John,

I think you nailed it. I did have an incident where I had all four wheels in the air - and it landed hard.

It is called a Coleman ATV Spotlight (like I said - I've got it mounted on the ROPS on my gator) and the item number at Cabelas is:

IK-524295

They also have the various grips - some of them...

I've got a 2011 gator 825i with 10 hours. A couple weekends ago during deer season, my dad and I went out after dark to pick up a deer, and when I turned the headligts on, one was not working.

Just changed the oil today. Actually, no need to remove anything. The oil plug is 15mm - you'll need a socket with short extension. For the oil filter, I just use a pair of normal size channel...
