Conquer tough terrain with confidence

• You will feel confident and comfortable, even on tough terrain, with a full-size Gator™ Utility Vehicle. You will feel stable with a low center of gravity and a wide stance. Engine braking and four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes keep you in control on steep descents, even when fully loaded. The power steering on M- and R-Trim vehicles, is smooth and responsive.
• With standard four-wheel drive and rear differential lock, both instantly available with the flip of a switch, you can get where you are going.

The independent suspension provides a smooth ride as 203 mm (8 in.) of front suspension travel and 229 mm (9 in.) of rear suspension travel cushions bumps and glides over ruts. And clearing rocks and roots is no problem with up to 305 mm (12 inches) of ground clearance.

• Terra Hawk all-terrain tires
  • Tread pattern and wide footprint provide excellent traction with minimal impact on terrain
• Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 extreme terrain radial tires
  • Radial construction provides shock absorption, allowing for a smoother ride
  • Non-directional tread pattern provides predictable cornering and claws up roots and rocks
• Predator Heavy-Duty all-terrain radial tire
  • Radial construction provides shock absorption, allowing for a smoother ride

Automotive-like controls

• 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. Comfort and convenience packages include cargo box power lift, dual-beam LED headlights, turn signals, even a winch.
• 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.

Room for you, and your crew

• When you hop into the seat of a full-size two-row Gator™ Utility Vehicle, you will notice the front and rear bench seats accommodate yourself and three passengers.
• Your entire crew will enjoy spacious seating. Passenger grab handles, hip restraints, and rear bar help everyone feel secure.

• 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.) dee
• 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.

Powerful EFI engine and drivetrain

• The XUV 845 and XUV825M S4 Gator™ Utility Vehicles are powered by an electronic fuel injection (EFI) gasoline engine with liquid-cooled, dual-overhead cams. This engine is designed to provide maximum power and fuel efficiency to muscle through tough jobs.
• It also has plenty of torque in low range, and fast speeds in high range. The enclosed drivetrain automatically adjusts for fast acceleration, along with powerful hauling and hill-climbing capabilities.

Flip the seat for more storage

• Two-row full-size Gator XUVs come packed with places to store tools, gear, and beverages.
• The rear seat of two-row vehicles folds forward providing additional cargo space. An under-seat storage compartment is also found under the rear seat.

Manage your fleet using John Deere Operations Center™

Overview

• A JDLink™ M Modem connects a utility vehicle to the John Deere Operations Center, which enables you to manage your fleet of John Deere equipment more efficiently, increase productivity, and reduce labor costs. Whether you’re a farmer, professional landscaper, or municipality, with a modem and Operations Center, you are always connected to the work in progress and keep track of your utility vehicles, commercial mowers, tractors, and farm equipment.

A JDLink M Modem is a factory-installed option for model year 2026 and newer one-row full-size XUV vehicles. A modem is included on vehicles ordered with GreenStar™ and AutoTrac™ ready option codes as well.

A modem can be field installed on the following vehicles:

• Model year 2018 and newer TS, TX, TX Turf, TH Gas, and TH Diesel
• GX Electric and GX Electric Crew
• Model year 2018 and newer HPX 615E and 815E
• Model year 2018 and newer XUV 560E, 560E S4, 590E, 590E S4, 590M, and 590M S4
• Model year 2018 and newer XUV 825E, 825M, 825M S4, 855E, 855M, and 855M S4

• XUV 845M, 845R, 875M, and 875R

See compatibility section for serial number breaks and requirements.

The John Deere Operations Center tracks your fleet and provides tools to analyze equipment data. The connected features vary by vehicle model.

The JDLink M Modem regularly transmits the location and operational status of each vehicle in the fleet so you can monitor progress in Operations Center.

• Location history-Display of map with current and past locations of each vehicle.
• Speed-Maps each vehicle’s current speed, so you can target operator training.
• Hours of operation-Reports the time of day the vehicle has been operated.
• Geofencing-Alerts when a vehicle enters or exits a prescribed area, for example if the vehicle has been stolen or an operator entered a prohibited area.
• Curfews-Alerts if the vehicle is operating outside prescribed times.

Engine hours

The modem regularly transmits the vehicle’s engine hours to inform maintenance planning and balance use.

• Sync-The vehicle reports actual engine hours to the Operations Center.
• Key-Engine hours are estimated by monitoring the key switch. Engine hours can be corrected in Operations Center.

Factory or custom maintenance plans can be established in Operations Center. Maintenance alerts are sent when engine hours reach maintenance intervals.

• On select products, the modem reports the hours the vehicle spent working and idling. The Operations Center’s Machine Analyzer tool reports usage data which allows you to analyze operator behavior, identify causes of low productivity, and initiate corrective actions.

Fuel level

• On select products, the modem reports the fuel level. On these products, an analysis of fuel consumption is available in the Operations Center Machine Analyzer Tool. Measuring fuel consumption enables you to address causes of excessive fuel use.

Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)

• On select products, the modem transmits the trouble codes generated by the vehicle’s control units to the Operations Center. Addressing DTCs can reduce downtime and repair costs. For example, a low-engine oil pressure DTC can indicate an engine is low on oil. Addressing the issue can prevent costly downtime and repairs.
• To help address issues quickly, when a DTC is generated, the Operations Center can display a push notification on the mobile app and send an email. Operations Center can also be configured to limit notifications to stop-level severity DTCs.

Service Advisor Remote

• On select products, John Deere dealers can perform remote diagnostics, software programming, and adjustments without the cost of a service call.

Compatibility

A JDLink Modem is included on:

• Model year 2023 to 2025 vehicles ordered with option code 183E JDLink Modem. Option code 183E was only available with, and required on, GreenStar ready and AutoTrac ready vehicles.
• Model year 2026 and newer vehicles ordered with option code 183N JDLink M Modem. Option code 183N can be ordered as a stand-alone option and is required on GreenStar ready and AutoTrac ready vehicles.

A JDLink M Modem can be field installed on the Gator Utility Vehicles listed below. Field installation attachments simplify modem installation, and include mounting hardware, harness, and instructions. Field installation requires a JDLink M Modem to be ordered separately. The field installation attachments include a wiring harness therefore the modem should be ordered with the less harness option code.

Ethernet cable and switch kits

On model year 2026 and newer XUV 845M, 845R, 875M, and 875R vehicles, the optional BUC11879 ethernet cable connects a JDLink M Modem to a Generation 4 or 5 display which enables the JDLink M Modem to transmit precision ag technology data to Operations Center.

• Only vehicles equipped with a BUC11814 display and receiver integration kit benefit from BUC11879 ethernet cable since factory-installed GreenStar and AutoTrac ready options include this functionality.
• Model year 2025 and older vehicles are not compatible with BUC11879 ethernet cable.

Model year 2026 vehicles with a generation 4 display (4240 or 4640) also require a BUC11874 ethernet switch to adapt the generation 4 display. This applies to vehicles with factory-installed GreenStar ready option, factory-installed AutoTrac ready option, and vehicles with a BUC11814 display and receiver integration kit.
