New Sport Gator?

[JDMasterTech]

Saw this on another forum. I wonder if it is the new Sport Gator?

I would be suspicious with those other brands in the background. Maybe another brand trying to make like it is a Deere?

[JDMasterTech]

I'm thinking Deere was comparing it to the others. I was at AMS Masters in North Carolina and at the training facility they had the 825i along with the competition. This was before the 825i was released. They had a pulling sled and other equipment there. I guess time will tell.

word is they are coming with a Sport Gator, higher speed unit and a 4-seater gator. Hopefully see them in a couple weeks at Indy Intro.

It almost looks like a modified canned ham commander. lol

This picture surfaced way before we saw the new bed-that we have now. I think there's some meat in this photo. We shall know soon, New product intro started today in Cincy.

This is the new 2012 RSX850i! It was at intro in Indianapolis but no info till BTL in November. They did intro a new mid spec 4wd that is priced @8299 along with the 4 seater. Both are a step down from the xuv and hpx. They have a 16 hp Briggs and only do 28mph.

Just got back from Indy. Like deuce said, it is coming. The spy photo is real, it's the RSX850. It will be based on the new smaller version with the air cooled briggs but! it will have a v-twin LC high performance engine. My guess is the "mystery motor" will be the one that was posted elsewhere.
I talked a person who would know who confirmed the spy photo, and the engine (not in so many words) they can't really say much. He did say that they confiscate everyones phones since that spy photo got out when they are doing "events" such as the one where it was taken.
The new one will have more suspension and he did say it will be the fastest gator ever offered but that's as far as he would go. I think I heard more than 10" of travel.
It was cool as the show, after all the new gators pulled out it went dark and all you heard was some really really loud noises when 3 of them rolled out and paused and then ripped out. After that they hid them somewhere in Indianapolis is all I know. We saw some videos of them on a big screen and they remind me of a Razor a lot. Time will tell! As far as I'm concerned, the 825i is king in it's class and will remain.

When is it going to be release or do you know.

[missouri gator]

GatorMover, What about the 825i any changes you can share with us?

[hornadylnl]

When is it going to be release or do you know.

My salesman said that they wouldn't give any release dates at the new product show. They whizzed it by them so fast that they couldn't really get a good look at it, let alone pics.

This show is more about big Ag equip so I don't know of any changes really. There is another deal like this coming up, prolly nov, called BTL. That is where the info on Gators will come out and I heard a rumor the RSX will be released there and much more info. I don't go to that so someone else will have to enlighten us. I keep hearing power steering rumors but that's all they are so far-rumors.

Doubt JD would let dealers ride Gators at their 2012 product line show in Paris, if they didnt intend to release it :-)

I agree, but like I said, haven't heard a peep. Word was yes there will be but that's all I know. I also heard that last year that we'ld have it by now but that's rumors for ya.

Power steering is still "coming" but will likely only retro fit the 825i and 855D. Not sure why it won't fit the 625i but thats all they told us.

I was looking for a technical manual and found the download on ebay for $14.95 and $50 bucks cheaper than the dealer. Has all the techical info you will ever need a must for owners.
