- Tractor Supply Golf Cart 4 Month Review! Lately Lowes, Tractor Supply Company, Rural King, Scheels and every other retailer seems to be selling GOLF CARTS! We were approached by a BRAND NEW golf cart brand RACKA that offered to send us one of their RGC1 carts to share what we think. This cart is PACKED with features and has an impressive amount of power and features for the money. At $8,000 this cart will be offered at Tractor Supply only. Not only does this golf cart offer a tremendous amount of value, it is also a beautiful machine on the outside. The 48v cart comes with multiple USB chargers, an LED bar in the grill, a cooler in the back and rear seats that flip down to offer a cargo area. If you are looking to buy a golf cart for your property, farm, neighborhood or hunting lease.

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!
It probably has a governor, which if it does it can likely be removed
Thanks! Very happy with your reviews of the RACKA. Appreciate the honesty.
Thank you Faith, I appreciate that!
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!!
Thanks for watching! It is nice having limited service to do. And no gas! Hope all is well and Happy New Year!!!
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!!!
I still love it and still wish I had one😎
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!
Thank you Matthew, you will enjoy it!!!
Can you share which store?
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.
Only one solution Dale. You’re gonna need to buy both. 🤷🏻♂️🤣
@@JoeTheFarmer 🦧you might be right.
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.
Thanks Bryan, and that would be epic! If I had a TSC that close I would be in major trouble. Lol. I’d need to work there for a discount!
@@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.
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!
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
Great video. Just bought one. Where is the break reservoir?
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.
I got this error when I left the charging cable in. But it wasnt plugged into the wall.
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. 👍🏼😜
You bet.....she will not allow me to drive it and get it dirty.
🤣🤣🤣
I just got it three weeks ago you answer first question
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!
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.
I would absolutely make them replace the wheel. And yes, for the money it's a great cart!
I see a tai being advertised for $5000. Is that the same one?!
The warranty claim replaced my tire and rim but it still has a wobble. The guy that replaced it said they're just cheap tires
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!
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!!👏🙌🚜🇺🇸
Thats awesome! They are reaching more stores for sure. They are pretty sweet machines! Hope all is well brother; Happy New Year!!!
BTW; this should be $8k. Not 9999
@@JoeTheFarmer Maybe it had extra goodies 🤣😜😅
@@tractorrookiecould be the pdg machine that has speakers, etc. 🤷🏻♂️
I saw the pdg cart at Shelbyville tsc for 8499.00.
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!
Also any idea if/when the 2024 might be released? Just wondering if they will make improvements that are worth waiting for? Thanks again Joe!
Hey, they have already made some great improvements. One is the charger is is now on board, and a few other upgrades. Not sure of anything on 2024.
We just bought a racka and would like to know how to disable the reverse beeper. Any help would be appreciated.
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!
where did you get the storage you installed above the steering wheel. That is pretty handy.
Amazon! I have a link in the video
Any suggestions or videos on how to make these go faster? My 2024 Racka RCG1 only goes 20mph. I'd like to get at least get 25mph out of it. Thanks
Not really sure; speed is state specific. It can be done, but not sure how
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.
We're did you get the rack that is mounted to your windshield frame?
Hey! All linked in our amazon store in the description. It is awesome and was cheap.
Where did you get the rack you installed on the front with the 4 storage boxes, Thanks
Link attached. Been very happy with it, doesn't rattle and inexpensive. www.amazon.com/shop/joethefarmer
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!
You mentioned in your first video that you'd tell us how to turn off the back-up/reverse beeper. How do you do that?
Disconnect the wire harness above the rear drivers side wheel well.
Would/will it tow a small trailer. For yard clean up or maintenance?
Would tow a trailer without issues. As long as it isn’t a lot of weight uphill. But yard debris, leaves, etc would do great. 👍🏼
Just trying to disable that reverse beep if you can help!
I got you. 👊🏼
It's underneath by the left rear wheel. It's a plug. Took mine off the other day
I bought on and love it. I would like to install a trailer hitch. Did you consider installing a trailer hitch? If so which one?
We haven’t, but I have plenty of pullers on the farm. No doubt it could pull a light cart. Glad you like it!
Nice! Shoot I bought won for my wife because of your first video!
That’s awesome! Does she like it?!? Appreciate you watching brother!
@@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
@TrojanMr31 appreciate you watching brother. 👊🏼
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.
@@JoeTheFarmer So It's been a couple months...what did you hear back from TS?
When something goes wrong, where do you get it fixed or order parts?
It’s a Tao cart so parts will be anywhere. Interchangeable with multiple brands
Have you tried hauling anything with it? I need something to haul feed out to the barn. I do have to go over a dam and up an incline.
A couple 40 lb bags of feed would be nothing. Not made for a trailer, etc…but it has a good bit of power.
How dose it pull can it pull a small trailer or large deer?Also it is real expensive us poor hunters can't afford $8k?
You can get a used cart for less money brother. If you bag a big dear, totally worth dragging it out! But, the cart helps. Thanks for watching!
I'm thinking of buying one. How long have you had it, and is it still running good?
Still running good.
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!
Trying to find a link. 👍🏼
Its the “Roykaw Golf Cart Front Inner Basket Dash Storage”. Can seem to be able to send the link. It’s about $70. Great deal!
Was able to add it. Here is the link! www.amazon.com/shop/joethefarmer
@@JoeTheFarmer Thanks
We use ours for hunting. Does anyone know how to disable the annoying back up beeping?
Above the rear drivers side wheel well. There’s a quick connect that just needs to be separated.
Doesn’t look like this are available in the magnolia Texas area
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.
Wow. Yeah, she is mistaken. They sell lots of golf carts.
What is your local store?
@@JoeTheFarmer Billings Montana
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!
My local store is Quinlan, Texas store #2708. @@JoeTheFarmer
Let me see what I can do...
They are shipping two to your store. Just ask the manager to hold one for you so that you can take a look at it. Thanks for watching Dan!
Can you attach a trailer to this golf cart and haul things?
Sure thing. For light duty would work.
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?
They are an in-store only item but expanding into different stores. I'll fwd to TSC and see if they can get one there.
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.
I’m from Dover foxcroft having the same problem 😂😂
We bought today. There’s no rear view mirror or golf hangers. I’m wondering if they forgot to give us the accessories?
They prob did. I would ask for them; will help with resale.
Mine didn't come with either of those either and I'm in ohio
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.
I've called several Tractor Supply Co locations (in two states) and they don't have a clue what this is. Is there a secret method to find one?
What store is local to you? I can ask them to send one to your store for you
I just got it three weeks ago
Congratulations!
where is your charging port on mines it’s on the driver side?
Mine is the first gen. Your's is likely on the side.
Where can I buy this product, Tractor Supply knows nothing about it, and RACKA does not have contact information on their website.
You need to speak to the store manager and request it. They will be rolling out in more stores soon.
Yes, strangest thing I’ve seen, no contact info and no where to buy info. Tractor Supply does not list it as available either.
@MisterBech its almost like its an in store only item.
It’s 6 months after your 4 month review. Still good?
Still good! Solid machine. Fyi, there is a new one coming out soon. 😜
@JoeTheFarmer when is the new one coming out? Thinking about buying one and wondering if we should wait.
What is the name of the rack on the back for shovels etc?
Hey! The rack comes with the machine; but I added some Kolpin g*n racks. Works like a charm!
Added the link to it in the store. www.amazon.com/shop/joethefarmer
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 would get the dual holders. Just depends on how far you are going. The front rack is AWESOME. I would grab one of those too. Super handy
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.
JUST BOUGHT ONE AND TOP SPEED IS 20MPH. WHY CANT I GET 25??
Not sure. Charge it all the way and be sure seatbelts are fastened
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 .
Sounds like you got a great deal! Congrats man. And appreciate you watching.
Tractor Supply doesn't sell them, so who does?
Hey Rick, its sold at select tractor supply stores. You can ask your local manager to order one if not in store
SO much talk and so little information. I'm out.
See ya.✌️
