hey has anyone tested out those new john deer atv's? are they any good?

Bombardier is making them forjohn deer, and i never did like the bombardier desighns.They come whith the fan in the back of the atv and the wheels pick up mud and throw it right into the fan.

Would never buy anything from John Deer, overpriced junk.

JMO. . .but. . . .I have been real happy with the JohnDeer products I have to date. I picked up a 4X6 Gator Diesel, I use it on the land I hunt in Texas and at the local baseball fields to help run things. I will load it with 15 bags of corns and a few kids and drive anywhere I want on the ranch no problems. Have pulled 5000lb trailers with it. Have used it to pull my truck and ATV trailer out of the mud. I also own John deer riding mover and they are better built than anything else I have seen to date. We use a Polaris at the ball fields and after only one year it is falling apart. Yep you do pay more but if you want a tough maintainable product it is well worth it.

Oh my thats a pretty bold statement. Not to up to date on their smaller equipment but as for farm equipment they have quite a good reputation here. They are by far the leaders in the industry. We own Jd tractors, baler, combine, hoe drill, and mower conditioner. No complaints about any of the equipment. I say go green or go home.

John deer does not make their ATV's they contracted it out. As soon as a company with quality starts contracting out that quality is lost. I would not own a bombardier so why buy one that they painted green and through the name John Deer on it.

30-06 lover...that's not a true statement. At least with the new Bombardiers. I have a Bombardier Quest 650 4x4 and the fan is enclosed...No mud at all. It's the best quad I have ever owned by far, and I got my first in 1982.


And no, I don't work for them, but Bombardier makes quality stuff. Hell, they've been making Sea-doo boats/jet skis and Ski-Doo sleds for years.

Glad I bought mine before the green paint went on, though...The price went up too. LOL

I don't know about the JD ATV's. Saying JD stuff is junk I'll have to disagree.I have a older JD Model 650 which is a small farm tractor w/4' bush hog. It's been a great little tractor.I did need to replace a few parts over the years and they are very expensive. A voltage regulator was right at 90.00.Hydraulic control valve many years ago was 350.00 if I remember correctly. I thought the JD ATV'S were Artic Cats.Learn something new everyday,
