When you sit behind the wheel of a full-size Gator™ Utility Vehicle, you will be reminded of your favorite pick-up truck. There are controls at your fingertips, an easy-to-read instrument panel, and outlets to recharge your phone.

Shift from park and into gear with a throw of a single lever. Power steering on M- and R- trim vehicles is smooth and responsive.

When the going gets tough, you can instantly engage four-wheel drive and rear differential lock with switches. Even at night, the backlit switches are easy to see. If a front wheel starts to slip, the front differential automatically locks to pull you through.

When you hop into the seat of a full-size Gator™ Utility Vehicle, you will notice there’s seating for you, plus two.

Three-passenger seating with room to spare

The adjustable operator’s seat and tilt steering lets drivers of all sizes get comfortable, and the passenger grab handles help everyone feel secure. The low step height and generous opening between seat base and fender is even designed to accommodate bulky work boots.

Climate-controlled comfort

On cab vehicles, you will enjoy standard heating and air-conditioning that will keep you comfortable in every season, and the tight-closing doors help seal out dust and reduce noise. When you want to let in the breeze, you can also roll down the windows and open the front windshield.

Upgrade to R-trim refinements

R-trim vehicles have an upgraded stone-colored cab interior with headliner and rear panel to reduce noise. Standard LED headlights, sun visor, dome light, rearview mirror, and sport steering wheel round out the package.

Stone cloth seat

R-trim vehicles also include a stone cloth seat that keeps cool in the hot sun and warms up quickly in the winter.

Precision ag technologies have changed the way we farm, and John Deere has been at the forefront of that change. Adding the AutoTrac™ assisted steering system and JDLink™ Modem options to Gator Utility Vehicles brings precision ag technology to farms of all sizes.

The AutoTrac Ready option enables hands-free steering through the field decreasing overlap and lowering input costs while reducing operator fatigue. The JDLink Modem option connects your vehicle to the John Deere Operations Center so the vehicle can be managed with the rest of your fleet.

Simplify field boundaries

• Check field boundaries and identify hazards as the Gator Utility Vehicle steers itself along established boundary lines.
• Create new boundary lines, even when the soil is too wet for larger equipment.

Improve soil mapping

• The days of picking a tree across the field to navigate are over. Use guidance lines to create a sampling grid and let your Gator Utility Vehicle keep you on track as you pull plugs across the field.

Connect your Gator Utility Vehicle to the rest of your fleet

• Leave the USB drives at home as you wirelessly send your data to and from your Gator Utility Vehicle.
• A planter operator can flag the exact location of a large rock so the Gator UV can be sent to the location to remove the hazard.

Save time and stop waiting for the perfect day to spray

• When paired with a tow behind sprayer and rate controller, the Gator Utility Vehicle’s lighter weight allows work to be completed when the ground is too wet for larger equipment.
• Speed through spraying by allowing the Gator Utility Vehicle to steer a predefined path around buildings and fence rows.

Track productivity, maintenance, and machine vitals

• Track the current and past locations of your Gator Utility Vehicle in the John Deere Operations Center, just like the rest of your fleet.
• Know when your Gator Utility Vehicle is ready for scheduled maintenance

Share StarFire™ Receiver and Universal Display

• You can leave precision ag technology components installed year-round or share your StarFire Receiver and Universal Display with another piece of equipment.

The full-size Gator™ XUV can haul 454 kg (1000 lb), so load it up with confidence. You can also make fewer trips with 1814 kg (4000 lb) of towing capacity and a standard 51-mm (2-in.) receiver hitch.

Built-tough cargo box

The cargo box resists dents, scratches, and rust because it is made from a tough composite material. You will have no problem securing loads with integrated tie bars and 14 tie-down points. You can also convert the cargo box to a flatbed when you need to haul big and bulky loads.

The cargo box measures 1143 mm (45 in.) long, 1320 mm (52 in.) wide, and 305 mm (12 in.) deep.

One-handed tailgate

Since your hands are always full, the tailgate can be opened and closed with one hand. You can also lower the tailgate to carry longer items or remove it for easy cleanout.

Power lift

To save your back, the optional cargo box power lift empties heavy loads with the push of a button.

The XUV865 and XUV825M S4 Gator™ Utility Vehicles are powered by a fuel-efficient and durable diesel engine.

Cup holders

The dash has four cup holders, and cab vehicles have a cup holder in each door.

Dash and under-seat storage

The vehicles also feature an enclosed glove box, center tray, dash storage pocket and under-seat storage. Depending on the configuration, vehicles may have up to three additional dash bins and under-hood storage.
