Tractor Supply GOLF CART 4 Month Review!

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.

Thanks! Very happy with your reviews of the RACKA. Appreciate the honesty.

I purchased mine 2 months back and it has the on-board charger and tilt steering wheel. We have 6-acres here and use it quite a bit to get around our property, my two Border Collies love to go for rides on it. I haven’t been able to throw anything at it that it couldn’t handle and the battery life is amazing. I think it was a sound purchase and Tractor Supply treated me right! I’m now selling my EZ-GO because this cart is all I need

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.

Update for December 2024:
Manufacturer asked me to take it back to Tractor Supply to get it repaired. They think there is a problem with the motor solenoid.
Took it back, waited a couple of months, then asked about it. No response.
So we asked for a new one or a refund. Tractor Supply gave us a new one.
Drove it to our mailbox 1/2 mile away a few times (total of 23 miles) .
One day, as I was driving back from the mailbox, I smelled something burning. After I parked it next to the house and plugged it in, I looked under the golf cart and didn't see anything. So I lifted the front seat to look at the batteries and smoke and flames about 6 inches high came from it. Two batteries and the plastic under the front seat were on fire!
Called the manufacturer and they told me to return it for a full refund, which I did. I only had that one for about 2 months. Bought the first one on April 1st; maybe the wrong day to buy something! The store manager told me the new ones now have lithium batteries instead of the AGM batteries. As an electrician and an RF engineer, I offered to check the electrical system for free. My hunch is that the charging circuit is defective. I also noticed that some water can get into the battery compartment when it rains hard. We actually liked this golf cart, so it's a shame we had two bad experiences back-to-back. We are now researching other models and companies.

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.

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!!

[MatthewCallero-fifh]

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!

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 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!

Your first video on this machine really sold me on it. The price point of this machine then sealed the deal. Even better than that, I just bought mine a few days ago on sale for $6, 999.99 — $1, 000 less than it originally sold for. The newer model is now out that comes standard with lithium batteries, but that one is $2, 000 more than I just paid. The issues you pointed out in your first video were corrected by the manufacturer before I bought mine. There are no rattles and it has the onboard charger 🔌 so you just plug the cord into the side of it. They must have sent you a prototype machine for testing and they fixed those issues you pointed out before releasing to the public. Thank you for the information and demonstration of the product! It’s the perfect machine for my uses on my property and the low maintenance and quiet operation is definitely preferable to me, since I like relaxation and peace and quiet when I drive around my land when I come home from work.

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.

[hoofhearted]

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!

Love your videos! Icon & DenagoEV Golf cart & Hisun Dealer in South Texas 🤙🏼

As far as I know living in florida in a beach community. I spoke like the local PD. He said they look for a DOT wind scene. That being said, remove the wind scene and whare eye protection, and no problem..

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

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.

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

[leonmurphey]

I still love it and still wish I had one😎

[joeyc]

Just trying to disable that reverse beep if you can help!

[curtismellen]

Where did you get the rack that you installed? We’ve had our 2024 model for about a week and would love to have more storage. Was wondering if there was a way to install a small trailer hitch?
