Deere announces new Gator utility vehicles

John Deere announced the launch of the gas Gator XUV 845 and diesel Gator XUV 875 utility vehicles designed for a variety of jobs around the farm. 

The new utility vehicles include a larger, more customizable cargo box and additional comfort and convenience elements.

“The Gator XUV 845 and Gator XUV 875 are built with farmers for farmers,” says Eric Halfman, John Deere go-to-market manager for Gator utility vehicles. “We worked with farmers across the United States and Canada to make this machine more versatile for all the work they do on the farm.”

Reliability

The Gator XUV 845 and Gator XUV 875 utility vehicles have an improved sound quality due to a new exhaust system. 

Other improvements include a new location for the air intake, raising it by 12 inches, which draws air from a better location to protect the engine. In addition, there is a new CVT air intake and exhaust to pull cleaner air and protect from debris, water, and mud.

Versatility

“One of the most desirable traits of a Gator is the versatility it offers all over the farm,” Halfman says. “The new Gator XUV 845 and Gator XUV 875 include a redesigned cargo box that provides 13% more space than our previous models, making it a class leader in cargo box volume and allowing you to carry more in one trip.”

Additional features of the new cargo box include: 

• Added width to increase capacity and reduce mud sling
• 12V SAE power port to run small tank sprayers and rear-mounted spreaders 
• Five divider slots on the side and three at the front of the box to hold items in place and allow for configuration changes 
• Ability to create a second level of storage, keeping fence posts and wire separated 
• Redesigned tailgate with a flat work surface, ruler, V-groove for cutting pipe, anti-gravity pockets, bump stops, and cup holders 
• Integrated clamping points to help secure items
• Fold flat tie-downs in the front-middle and four corners of the bed 
• Tie-down pockets, providing a dedicated place for straps when securing loads that obstruct access to the D-rings on the inside of the box 
• Mountable utility rack option  

“The cargo box is designed to be the extra hand when we’re out in the field or pasture, trying to get things done,” Halfman said. “Whether it is extra ways to secure a load to get it all in one trip to the job site, or the new power port to make running small tank sprayers easier, the cargo box has been designed for getting work done.”

Precision technology

With the new Gator HVAC models, each can be customized to include a factory-installed GreenStar Ready option, giving owners the ability to add a StarFire receiver and universal display to the machine. All of the needed brackets and wiring to support the installation of the receiver and the display are included from the factory. The JDLink modem will also be included, enabling the Gator to be integrated into the John Deere Operations Center.
