Click here for pictures of John Deere's new ATVs. Still no specs though. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I was amazed how many farmers have come in looking to buy one. They should be here pretty soon. Also the new 4x4 Gators come in the Trail package like the old ones do. I think the normal green looks better on it though.

Can someone say "Bombardier Traxter painted green". Bombardier is making them under agreement with John Deere. Maybe Bombardier will make an orange one for Kubota lovers like me!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I also read somwhere that John Deere is making a 6 wheel utility for Bombardier. I guess they are swapping info and manufactoring abilities.

It looks nice, but I own two ATV's already /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif and boy would I get in BIG trouble telling the boss I was going to look at another one /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

But it would be fun to go test drive one.

Thanks for letting us know /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

LOOKS LIKE A POLARIS ATP WANTABE . THE DEERE BETTER STICK WITH MAKING TRACTORS ATV'S IS A LITTLE MUCH FOR THEM ATV PEOPLE DONT BLEED GREEN SO IT BETTER PROVE ITS SELF GOOD LUCK.

Actually the Polaris ATP is a wannabe of the Deere. Deere is getting it's ATV's from Bombardier. The Deere with the dump bed is a re-badged Bombardier Traxter XL that was offered before the Polaris ATP came out.

I think Polaris should paint one in Deere Green. It would confuse a whole generation.

It would be a great machine.

Until you went to tow or pull some thang than you would be able to tell the deere does NOT have the tow capacity as a ATP check it out for your self so if you buy one dont hull a trailer load of firewood it may not be able to move . Or you can get a ATP to tow the firewood and the deere I have hulled alot of deere out of the woods with mine.

Exactly how many Deeres have you hauled out of the woods with yours? The Deere ATV's just came out.

I went to the Polaris web page and they rate the load carrying capacity of the 500 ATP at 400lbs and the towing capacity at 1225 lbs. The brochure I picked up at the National Farm show rates the Buck EXT with a 498cc engine at a load carrying capacity of 600 lbs and a towing capacity of 1100 lbs. I hardly think it wouldn't haul a trailer load of firewood.
