Well you can tell from my username that I have no trust in a 825i gator. 442 miles less then 6 months old and has been broke more then it has been in the woods. BTW 400 of the 442 miles were driven by my son he is 13.
Rodeo 1 - while in the woods on a trail a branch comes up and get a hold of the wires for the light. Rips the wire out, shorts out, pops fuse gator goes dead. Now that fuse controls the key switch witch in turn controls the motor leaving me in the woods about 14 miles from the camp. Get a fuse from somewhere else (the rear switch) and limp back. You ask very first time in the woods.
Rodeo - 2 while travel to camp after only a month of owning machine the driver next to me is waving his arms pointing at the gator. I come to a stop only to find out that the roof is holding on by the lights that the dealer installed. Yes dealer installed roof as well. Ask the dealer the following day how fast can you pull this machine on the road. Answer: I have no clue, keep it under 70.
Rodeo - 3 in the woods, turkey season about to start. Come to a stop look around, turn gator off. Time for a beer, go signs for turkeys. Start back up, what a loud noise, blow the belt off. The dealer tells me that the clutch is fried.
I have ordered a roof from the internet, changed the wiring for the lights but this is only the start. I've owned several different bikes through out the days but this bike belongs on a golf course. I have since learned that another JD 825i gator has broke the front drive shaft, only a 100 miles. I'm getting a lawyer.
