I bought a Gator 590i in July 16, to replace a 550 I had. The new engine with double the HP and FI was a great improvement. It will go 50 MPH on a good hard dirt road, and I have climbed steep hills with two people and two deer loaded at the same time with no problem. I have 1700 miles on it (mostly in the woods and trails) and have no complaint with the power and performance of the 590i. The only real issues are with the little things that keep breaking. I have replaced the shift cables twice, the fuel gauge quit working after about 500 miles and the parking brake no longer works. I am also the in the unfortunate circumstance of having a very poor local JD Dealership (SunSouth of Columbus, GA). The parts dept is especially bad. If I ask the parts manager a question he can't answer, he just laughs in my face and walks away. All in all though, small problems aside, the Gator 590i is a really nice machine and does what it was designed for. It handles very steep ditches, streams, etc. without complaint.
