I have been running diesel Gators this last 6 years and they have never missed a beat, ultra reliable, and doing hard work.

XUV 835R, Great machine. It’s a shame John Deere sells it with a tempered glass windshield. Mine was hit by a small rock and it shattered to a million little pieces. The shocks that hold it up when you open it caused the windows small pieces to explode into the cab sending glass shards into the interior of the cab all over the seats, dash and floor. Thats a big safety hazard to occupants in the cab. Also, it was storming at the time and all the interior was drenched to the point of water running out at the bottom of the door seals. Also all the dash electronics were drenched and the very nice headliner and Side covers were soaked. I contacted my dealer, the new windshield is over $700. So beware, if you have one of these machines a small rock could shatter the windshield and endanger your eye sight because the dealer is unaware of the material the windshield is made of. Good Luck!

Best thing about John Deere is their dealership network. There is a dealer literally everywhere and parts are usually available. Sales people are also usually nice and accommodating . The dealerships for the other makes are typically staffed by a bunch of jerks.

Does John Deere export Gators? and if so do they do right-hand drive?

Can anyone comment on if the power steering is worth the upgrade to 835M or if it’s necessary at all?

I think John Deere is going to put a hurting on the others.

Don't buy a gator they do not hold up to real work
