    I didn’t know John Deere made their Gator UTVs for the military! Do they use civilian engines and suspension, or do they install some reinforced ones for the army?

    1. Nolan Connor (author)

      For military UTVs, Deere installs a 3-cylinder diesel engine, as well as a more powerful suspension.
