Rent John Deere Gator utility vehicles from TRULAND at Wauseon, OH and Angola, IN. Hauling crew, tools and material around farms, sites and events.
Start with how many people need to ride and what you are hauling. Two-seat machines carry more cargo, turn tighter and fit narrow spaces. Crew models seat more people but need more room to maneuver. Then check cargo capacity and towing against your heaviest planned load, and consider terrain, since wet fields, hills and trails favor four-wheel drive. Tell us the crew size, loads and ground when you call.
Moves people, tools and material across ground where a truck is too big, too heavy or too likely to get stuck. Checking fields and fence lines. Hauling feed, seed, posts, tools and supplies. Carrying a crew and their gear around a job site. Moving material around a farm, a campground, a golf course or an event grounds.
It is the vehicle that saves the walking and saves the truck. On wet ground, in tight rows and through gates, a utility vehicle does the errand work that would otherwise rut a field or tie up a pickup.
Start with how many people ride and what goes in the box. Two-seat machines carry more cargo in a shorter wheelbase and turn tighter. Larger crew models seat more people but take up more room and need more space to maneuver.
Cargo capacity and towing are separate numbers and both matter. Know the heaviest load you plan to put in the box and whether you are pulling anything behind it.
Think about the ground. Wet fields, hills and trails favor four-wheel drive, and if you are running mostly on turf, ask about tires that are easier on grass. Machines with a cab and heat matter in cold weather work, while an open station is fine in season.
Tell us the terrain, the crew size and the loads when you call, and we will point you at what fits.
Load the box evenly and keep weight low. A high, unbalanced load raises the center of gravity, and utility vehicles roll over more easily than people assume, particularly on side slopes. Do not stack material above the box sides on hilly ground.
Loose material and liquids shift when you move. A tank of water or a partially filled load moves suddenly on a turn or a slope, and that shift is what puts a machine over. Slow down before slopes, not on them.
Take hills straight up and straight down rather than traversing across them. Traversing a slope is where most utility vehicle rollovers happen. In mud and snow, remember that four-wheel drive helps you go, not stop.
Everyone rides seated, belted, with the rollover structure in place and hands and feet inside. Utility vehicles are not ATVs, and riding in the cargo box or on the outside of the machine is how people get seriously hurt.
Only carry as many people as there are seats and belts. No exceptions, and no riders in the box.
Know where you are allowed to operate. Road use rules for utility vehicles vary by state, county and municipality, and a machine that is legal on one road may not be on the next. Confirm local rules before you plan to drive on public roads.
Slow down on unfamiliar ground. Ruts, holes, ditches, wet spots and drop-offs come up quickly, and speed is what turns a bump into a rollover.
Farms during planting, harvest and fencing seasons, contractors moving crews and tools on large sites, event organizers, hunting and recreational property owners, campgrounds, and businesses covering a peak stretch or a machine that is down.

It depends entirely on where you are. Rules for utility vehicles on public roads vary by state, county and even municipality, and a machine that is legal on one road may not be legal on the next one over. Check with your local authority before you plan any road use, and do not assume that farm use permits road travel. On private property you are generally free to operate within safe practice.
Only as many as the machine has seats and seat belts. No riders in the cargo box and nobody on the outside of the machine, which is how most serious utility vehicle injuries happen. Everyone rides seated and belted with the rollover structure in place and hands and feet inside. This is the single most important rule with these machines, especially with kids on a farm or a property.
Easier than most people expect, particularly on side slopes and with high or shifting loads. Take hills straight up and down rather than traversing across them, keep loads low and balanced in the box, and slow down before slopes rather than on them. Liquids and loose material shift suddenly on a turn and that shift is often what puts a machine over. Slow down on unfamiliar ground where ruts and drop-offs come up fast.
