Here is a place to post about your John Deere off road vehicles such as atv's, gators, etc..

Thank you, Troy! And now I hope to meet some more GATOR owners here.

Here's my story. In 2011 I and some guys of our german community took a trip to Luxembourg. We were invited to show our LANZ Alldog and a D 1606 on a "potato festivity". One day we visited a big farm, sadly the owner was no JD Fanatic, and I saw this AMT 626

Most of you have seen this pics - but they're so nice and so I'll post them again!

Today I had a lil round-trip, visited the Bergpark in Kassel (World Heritage Site) and on my way bach home, I saw a field w/ sunflowers. Sunflowers and a GATOR - that works, as you can see here:

WOW! That's a lot of sunflower's. Thanks for sharing Wolfgang.

Jep, maybe the field belongs to the Bio-Hof ( special kind of farming) nearby. Normally when we think about John Deere Yellow and green, we all think of a blossom canola field. Now I know that a sunflower field is just as well.

Nice pic the background is just beautiful. All we see here in Oley ,Pa is corn and soy beans. Thanks for sharing

Doris and I planning a journey to Luxembourg on the first September weekend. Five years ago I've been traveling with the 3120 and two LANZ tractors on the trailer. This year we'll take the GATOR to visit the Gromperefest in Binsfeld.

Love the flyer. Enjoy yourself.

Trouble! Today I went to the registration office to licence my new caravan - BUT if you want to registrate a custom-made item here in Hesse, you must have a special expertise from the 'Buendelungsbuero' at Fulda. If I only read the name I don't know if I will laugh or cry. But it shows us, that Hesse are the better Prussian - because Hesse is the only land in Germany that demands such a bullshot  

And now we (Doris & moi) hope that our journey isn't endangered...

 

[Kster526]

uhh ohh, its always those pesky Prussians that can ruin a vacation

This is the first forum worldwide showing pics of our new snuggle burrow made by

Please welcome GATOR's new friend - BAMBY v2.1 (without decals...)

And I hope I'll get some pics soon of the wedding of GATOR and BAMBY

Cool little camper Wolfgang. Should tow nicely behind the Gator. Congrats on your new toy!

And now pics from the wedding of BAMBY and GATOR

Looks good Wolfgang!!!! 

 

[Kster526]

Looks like some fun and back woods camping time in the snuggle barn. You and the Mrs. Will be having some fun times for sure.

Today the 16 hp of Gator pulled Bamby through the north hessian hills - we had 32 °C (~ 90 °F) in the shadow and driving was no fun. But I was interested in the weight of the rig - all together only 1 to (with Doris' bicycle!).

 

[jd.rasentrac]

And now the bad news: I've crashed the engine of my 550 👎 In the middle of december I had a short ride to town and climbing up a hill, the Gator got slower and slower. On top I stopped and started again - but I felt, the engine wasn't strong - and suddenly a big bang and the engine was gone.
But I hope the motor will be fixed in three weeks...

Best wishes to you and your families and a happy new year! And next year we start with Bamby and Gator to our next vacation-tour 👍

 

[johndeereelfman]

Glad to hear from you again Wolfgang. Sorry to hear about your Gator motor but sounds like you'll have it running again in no time!

 

[Kster526]

Yes agree nice to have you back Wolfgang. Glad that the Gator will be back to life soon as I am sure its missed.
