Rare John Deere trike

[Yamahammer490]

I received this picture from a buddy of mine who actually works at John Deere. He doesn't know who made it but got a chuckle out of it.

Way cool, don't you think??

[patblkwell]

Haha, that thing is super sweet!

90 degree turns must suck with that thing... but it's unique for sure !!

You know they are making quads now and they look pretty cool. Too bad they were big back then or they might have made trikes.

My friend is a product development engineer for their ATVs. He's shown me some product specifications for potential new sport/unility ATVs that emphasize "sport" a bit more and "utility" a little less.

That been said, I suppose any trike they would have made would've looked like a green and yellow Big Red!

oh for hells sake....

[MNAirHead]

Why did you have to go and do that...

Now we'll have to add that to our collection of hazzardous transportation.

Wonder if we could make that street legal?

[twgranger]

That is a one of a kind right there.

That's what happens when you leave a streetbike and a lawnmower together in the barn with a case of beer for 9 months ;)

I think this one might be faster




yeah its a photoshop I found

that has a totally different meaning to me, streetbikes are such as what Fox showed, thats a Harley or a chopper ...... but thats just how i perceive things like that :wondering

[TrikerR]

are you guys feeling alrite...cause i think some of your G A Y sensors are broken.

[corndawg]

john deere did make a "trike" for a while, it was a 5 wheel gator, ill see if i can find a pic but a guy down the road has one

[corndawg]

the one the guy down the road had actaully had a seat and handle bars like a regular trike like the pic of the toy

[PowerTrike]

While we're on the subject: So nobody has ever heard of a John Deere factory built 3-wheeler?? I know a guy that swears he has one "laying out back" with 3 wheels, kind of utility-ish looking that has a gas and brake pedals but sits "sorta like your honda 3-wheeler" and not gator-looking. Nope! I haven't seen it myself but hope to stop by someday to see if its true. He says it was running a couple years ago.

I'm actually very surprised they didn't produce trikes,considering they did make snowmobiles..
