springs and shocks in the rear

[jdman]

is it me or does anyone else have trouble with the rear suspension? when i load it with about 600 lbs it bottoms out if i hit a little hole, the hitch likes a few inches from touching the ground and sometimes does drag the ground!! is anyone having the same problems iam having? isn't the load rating 1500 lbs?

[Kiwi06]

The load rating is only 1,400 lbs, but 400 of that is for people - the box is rated for 1,000 lbs. I don't know what's with your issues with 600 though. I hope to get my 825i tomorrow soil haven't gotten to experience it yet.

Do u have your springs turned all the way up? or has it been overloaded to many times making the springs weaker? or could always make some spacers to go between the spring and the adjuster to compress it more? but that would ride like a tank

[jdman]

Yes the springs are adjusted up all the way and yes it does ride rough

That is weird. I have had 10- 50lb bags of chicken feed in the bed without any problems and my shocks are not set to the stiffest setting yet.

[duling]

That is strange. I have had mine overloaded way more times that I can count with no problems at all, and my shocks are still on the factory setting

Next time I do some spraying I will take pic. Show how bad it is!!

our unit at fire station saging more then i like as well begining to tkink they softened rear springs on 2012 models see to different shocks listed for rear suspension break down by serial number going in to dealer tomorrow for service hope they can figure it out as well

[jdman]

Hey fire gator did u find out anything at the dealer

[jdman]

Took mine in to dealer they looked on dtac found that on some gators shock/spring supplier put front springs on rear. Deere gave a measurement as to how thick the size of the coil spring. Maybe .450 on front and .463 on rear. of course mine measured out right. So they put a dtac case in the computer on it to see if Deere has a solution for the problem.
