John Deere releases new UTVs

John Deere introduced two new utility vehicles to its lineup: the gas-powered Gator HPX615E and the diesel-powered Gator HPX815E.

“These new models offer even more cargo handling versatility,” said Mark Davey, John Deere marketing manager, Gator utility vehicles. “Our HPX vehicles are fine-tuned with excellent hauling and handling characteristics to help you get any job done.”

The cargo box has removable sides and tailgate and a one-handed, pickup style opening. These new models handle more cargo volume, up to 16.3 cubic feet. Plus, the cargo box’s features allow it to transition to a flatbed.

Both new models boast a 1,000-pound cargo capacity, 1,300-pound towing capacity and 1,400-pound payload capacity. Optimal weight distribution, 6-inches of ground clearance and four-wheel drive ensures the new models handle challenging terrain with ease.

Next, John Deere rolled out the new new gas-powered Gator XUV835 and diesel-powered Gator XUV865 utility vehicles.

“The new Gator XUV models combine versatility, durability and comfort into a machine that can increase productivity in all types of conditions,” said Davey. “It’s a workhorse that can tackle any job with features designed to save landscaper contractors time and energy.”

The 54-hp XUV835 and 23-hp XUV865 offer tight turning and optimal weight distribution for off-road performance. The XUV835 reaches speeds of more than 45 mph and the XUV865 offers a top speed of 30 mph. Both models are compatible with a full range of more than 90 attachments. They also feature a 11-gallon fuel tank.

As the first units in the Gator family to have three-wide seating, the new XUV835 and XUV865 include an adjustable driver’s seat, ample legroom and tilt steering to reduce operator fatigue.

Available HVAC systems and pressurized cabs offer year-round weather protection. Additionally, a heating feature defrosts the windshield.

The new vehicles feature a durable cargo box and a towing capacity up to 2,000 pound and 16 gallons of storage.

The Gator XUV835R and Gator XUV865R come standard with a climate-controlled cab with premium cloth seating, similar to their tractor siblings. The R trim level also includes upgraded attachment ready wiring to allow quicker installation of roof lights or other electrical attachments, plus the R models come standard with brighter LED headlights.
