Offering the company’s quietest ever cab, more room for both driver and passengers and an exceptional heating system, these new full-size Gators are designed to maximise productivity and comfort. In addition, the restyled HPX 815E, XUV 560E and XUV 590M Gators have been given new model numbers and several updates.

The new XUV 835M and XUV 865M models offer a tight turning circle and optimal weight distribution for superior off-road performance. For extra versatility, these Gators can be fitted with a wide range of over 90 attachments from snow blades to winches, and feature a large 42-litre fuel tank to keep the vehicle running longer between fill-ups.

With a new spacious cab that can accommodate three people, for off-road use only. These latest XUV Gator models also feature ample legroom and a tiltable steering wheel to help reduce driver fatigue during long working days. The new vehicles also deliver sleek styling and a load capacity of 454kg, thanks to the versatile and durable cargo box. Towing capacity has now been increased to 907kg.

The pressurised cab incorporates noise isolation and sound dampening components, making it the quietest yet available for the Gator range. It also offers year-round weather protection and an extremely efficient heating system, including a windscreen defrost feature.

The new HPX 815E Gator utility vehicle shares its styling with the XUV 855M model. The updated cargo box also has a load capacity of 454kg and both the sides and the tailgate, which has a pick-up style one-handed latch, can be easily removed. The durable composite construction of this industry leading cargo box makes it dent, rattle and rust-resistant.

Additional changes to this model include a new digital dashboard, powerful LED headlights and a restyled front bumper, to improve ease of operation particularly in challenging terrain.

The new XUV 560E (non-power steering) and XUV 590M (with power steering) models also now feature LED headlights as standard and an instrument cluster for easier operation. The new styling includes alloy wheels, which allow the suspension to follow ground contours more closely and thus improve grip. 

John Deere’s new Gator XUV 835M and XUV 865M utility vehicles will be available from dealers in early 2018, while the HPX 815E, XUV 560E and XUV 590M are available from autumn 2017.
