I comes across looking like a side by side. Good looking. But I'd prefer a lithium battery. Does the engine brake and slow you down on downhills? That's a boner buster! If that came with Lithium, no engine brake and a bit more MPH I'd strongly consider it.
I don’t sense a lot of engine braking but also won’t freewheel like some others. I know what you are talking about though. Some carts put you through the windshield when the foot comes off the gas. It’s not lithium, but i’ve looked into it and a lithium swap would be about 2k. I’ll wear these batteries out and by the time I do will prob be a lot cheaper to swap. Appreciate you watching!
Just got a Fault Code 31 on our new 2-month-old Racka golf cart. It stopped running in the middle of the road and I had to tow it home - only half a mile - we only use it to check our mailbox. Tractor Supply told me to call the manufacturer. The manufacturer said there is a problem with the charging port and that they will get back to me. (The display says it is at zero charge on the ACC key setting and 100% SOC - state of charge on the drive setting.) I always leave it connected it to the charger when not in use. I believe the batteries are AGM. We only have 26 miles on it after 2 months of use. Not a happy camper. Will advise on what the manufacturer says. We live out in the boondocks, so I hope I don't have to tow it somewhere. 73, Bart N3GQ
I had that issue once; charged it overnight and never had the issue again. I don't pretend to understand the ins and outs of the computer side of things; but hope yours is all good! Thanks for letting us all know.
Sometimes I wish I knew what I wanted. I like the low maintenance and passenger capacity of that machine. But a gas powered sxs has different advantages. Great video.
Joe, Great videos. Especially the follow up review. Your videos got me past my paralysis by analysis. Called my local store and was surprised to find out they had 2 (same color as yours). On sale for 7499. Appreciate your efforts. Kids are gonna love it. Thank you!
Great video! I have a Club Car, it has a 2” lift kit and off road tires and it is the roughest riding vehicle I have ever driven! Works great to get to my deer blind!
Thanks man! Electric machines are game changers for hunting. I took this one to the blind a few times but that mini bike was super stealth! Hope you had a great season!!!
We bought the newer version with adjustable steering column and side charger. The parent company is Tao. These are sold under multiple names including Coleman. I bought ours at Walmart $7999. The o ly complaint I have is wheel hop. It has a bad tire or rim. It shakes on the road. Of course the warranty is a joke. But love the cart otherwise.
Great review, Joe. I believe my wife would absolutely love one of those for her needs. Not having to fool with gas and changing oil. Looks like a great little unit for sure. Thanks for sharing!!
My TSC has a “few scratches” one that’s discounted to $7250. Pretty sure that will end up at my house by the weekend thanks to your 2 videos on this cart. Thanks!
Joe looks like a good value if someone needs one. We bought one some years ago for my wife that was a lot more money ( I believe a Premier). She likes it very very much, but I think this is a much better valve. Hers is also only a single real wheel drive, and will get stuck in just a few inches of snow. We do have 3 other Atv's and Utv's that are 4 wheel drive for work in the snow. Bob
Hey Bob! This one is single axle drive too. It’s so light I have never spun the tires though. I bet hers is like that too. It’s a solid value for how much you get. Is it for 100% farm and commercial use??? Prob not. For what we are using it for or for a hybrid home/property vehicle it should last a long time. I really like it. Appreciate you watching buddy! Glad she likes her ride. That goes a long way for family harmony. 👍🏼😜
Good Job Joe! When they finally finish the tractor supply in Rogersville, I might buy one and drive it back home . It’s only going to be 1.5 miles from our land.
@@JoeTheFarmerit’s going to be the biggest retail outlet that this town has ever had. I’m still surprised they decided to build a TSC in Rogersville. Even Florence doesn’t have one.
Hey All, had some questions about the accessories we added. They are listed on our Amazon page if interested. Here's the link! www.amazon.com/shop/joethefarmer
Greetings from Queen Creek, AZ! Great review! I just saw one of these at TSC a few days ago and was quite impressed. Pretty simple to make modifications. Love the rack up front and the gun rack. Can you post a link for those items? I certainly appreciate it. I look forward to watching some of your other reviews. Thank you.
Hey! Thanks for watching! Appreciate your kind words. Link to the items is in the video description. They were very affordable and make a HUGE Difference. Take care my friend!
Nice! Thought of you yesterday. We were at the TSC in Astoria Oregon! They had this unit out front for $9999. Almost took a photo to send to my buddy!! See you buddy!!👏🙌🚜🇺🇸
@@JoeTheFarmer yes sir! And the only place I could find it in action was your video. I went about a week ago and they got a few now out front at tractor supply. But you put it to the test and I was sold on it. Thank you
We just bought a Racka and are loving it. We’ve gone all over our property and we’re still at nearly 90% of battery. Very pleased, thank you for the great recommendation! Question: where is the best spot to attach a universal hitch? We are not very handy so it needs to be simple. :) Would the hitch you recommend for ATV work? It’s not available anymore but there are others like it. Thank you!
Hey! Glad you like it. For the money its a great value. I haven’t done the hitch, but look for something that will fit a Coleman or Tao cart. They are very similar. Have fun!
I have a Racka it does ride hard when off hard service. You mentioned that front suspension is adjustable. How do you adjust? Hoping for a smoothier ride on gravel road. Maybe tires with more rubber if suspension adjustment doesn’t help thank you, really appreciate your videos
Hey Ron, there are what look like dials on the end of the shocks. You can see whick would offer more or less give. I haven't adjusted mine yet; but probably will. When I do I'll grab the camera. I do think the tires have something to do with it. They look awesome and would kill it in a neighborhood...but off road you want something with more rubber and a lower PSI. Just my opinion. Machine has been flawless. Shakes and rattles a bit but overall a great machine. Thanks for watching!
Joe we’ve had our Racka 6 months and love it. Yes it rides rough off road and the top squeaks but for the money we just slow down. Want to buy a sporting clays/front basket and a gun rack. Any suggestions.
Very well said. Not sure on a front rack, but sporting clays sounds like a blast! We have a nice course here that I try to get to a few times a year. Not very good, but more fun than golf to me! God Bless!
I called the nearest Tractor Supply to me (200 miles away) and asked about these golf carts. I was told by the rude lady that answered the phone the she could assure me that Tractor Supply as a company does NOT deal in gold carts AT ALL! So needless to say TSC won’t be getting my business, but I’d really like to know where else I could buy one of these. I’m in Montana, so my options are limited.
After checking out many different carts, your video has me interested in possibly purchasing a Racka. Problem is, Tractor Supply customer service tells me they sell no such product. Plus, the Racka website has very limited information. Maybe someday I will get a return call from Racka customer service when they are interested in selling their products!
@@JoeTheFarmer Thanks for your quick reply. Tractor Supply store #629 in Hagerstown, Maryland. I can definitely make a call to the manager at that location and see what happens. With luck it will be Happy Birthday to me next week!
Hi Wendy, a request was put in today to move a few carts to the Hagerstown store. May make it by your birthday. Thanks for reaching out! Appreciate you watching!
Looks like Coleman carries the same cart marketed as the Coleman Powersports Electric Golf Cart with Rear View Camera, Silver - DR48V7S Looks like Rural King carries it for $7,499.
Yep; same cart. Different body and features. Its a race to the bottom for golf cart prices. Crazy how cheap they are getting. Massimo has a nice one for $6,999.
Hi Sharon, for legal reasons I suggest you never do that. But, just so you know; it's a connector above the rear drivers side wheel well next to the motor. ;). Congratulations on the purchase! It's so much fun!
I went down to our local tractor supply yesterday with hopes of buying one of these on sale now for $7500 but I didn’t bring one home because I noticed the foot pedal position was a little cramped when compared to my club car president I just sold and the other brands they have at tractor supply. Is this something that you get used to? I really want to buy this cart for our big property but I’m afraid the pedal position might make it uncomfortable to drive? Please let me know your thoughts . Thanks for the fantastic video !!
Hey Tim! Thanks for reaching out. The foot pedal position is something I have heard others talk about. It doesn’t really bother me because I’m on different machines all day…but if it is not comfortable don’t buy something you won’t be happy with! I would ask if you can drive it around the lot for a while. Take your time! Even though thats a great price, it’s still a lot of money. Appreciate you watching!
Hey Joe, what’s the name and make of the basket you installed on the front inside windshield. I bought the golf cart also and want to put it on mine. Thanks in advance!
Any reason you chose this over the PDG cart with more features? I noticed they both have lead acid batteries, have you considered changing them for lithium-ion?
The PDG is about $2k more. Also, no desire at this time to swap as it has plenty of power for what we use it for. It's excellent at just running around the property. I never miss the power. When the batteries die in the future I'll replace with LiPho batteries. More stable.
Looking for the Racka in Bangor Maine. Walked into 2 different TS stores and no Rackas and they couldn’t find any in their system to order it. Looked at me like I was crazy. 😊 Any suggestions?
Much appreciated!! We bought one in Virginia and love it and now need one for our home in Maine. I am disabled and it helps me to get where I want to go.
Where do you find one of these carts? The Tractor Supply website doesn't even list them. I'm in North Texas and Racka is built right here in Texas and no one at Tractor Supply know what I'm talking about.
They are in limited stores right now; but likely to grow into many others. If you ask your store manager to get one they should be able to. Or, if you let me know your local store I can ask them to ship one to that store for you to check out!
Quick question for you since you have had yours for a few months on the farm now and used it hunting. How does it do on sand? We want to haul things up and down from our lake house to the beach. Would it get easily stuck in the sand?
Also I called Tractor supply in Bismarck, ND and they said they can't even find it as an available SKU to look up. I gave them the SKU you had in one of your videos #2283610. Are they still available? I am also trying to compare it to the Coleman Powersports Black Electric Golf Cart, which looks very similar, but I like the Racka better, and Tractor Supply has Massimo MVR2X Electric Golf Cart. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Hey! Looking into the store issue. I sent over to them to get a response. As far as sand, I think it would be fine…but I haven’t tried it on sand. A very steep slope would be a struggle hauling; but a slight hill should be ok. Both the Racka and the Massimo are very nice carts. The massimo has more bells and whistles and a quieter roof. It’s very nice and the same price as the Racka. I would test them both and see which is more comfortable to you. The Racka and Coleman are basically the same cart. I like the Racka better too! I’ll let you know what I hear back.
Awesome. My cart has the same square tube rack on back, but need to carry shovels, weedeater, etc. I'll get two and mount them similarly to yours. Can you get more than one shovel or rake, etc in a single jaw? @@JoeTheFarmer
I got 2 of the ones you had in your store. I’m hoping to carry a weedeater, pole saw and maybe a shovel/rake. Looks like they will handle it. That inner storage box looks great. I ordered the glovebox doors for mine. I’ve got the Lowe’s version. Kandi/coleman.
I bought a Madjak golf cart for $7500 new and it’s a lot better quality than this one . You just have to watch for deals when new model years come out . Also could have got a Navitas golf cart for $7000 , but I would have had to drive to South Carolina to pick it up .
