Just about a week ago I saw your video 3 years ago reviewing a gator, because we are buying one. That video helped a lot and that is when I subscribed.
We have a similar Gator. ...the 835M HVAC. We find the gasoline powered version (835 vs. 865) to be much more 'peppy'. The M is much louder than the R due to lack of insulation material in the cab. In either case, we really like the machine. Thanks for the review.
I can’t think of any reason to spend 35 grand on a Gator, but I’m sure there is. You would have to run it 24/7 to make it pay out. Or you have more money than you need and want to show off.
Or you're a successful person that runs a farm or manages his property. I don't think it's about pay out..it's more about enjoying your income the way you'd like....some folks buy campers...some folks buy corvettes right?
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Exactly. So many people cannot see this. Additionally, a vehicle like this can be a primary tool utilized on their farm/business. When you absolutely depend on a tool like that on a daily basis, $35k simply isn't even expensive.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer most people don't understand that it can be used for tax write off. Would love for you do a video on buying equipment an their tax write off, depreciation etc.
If you have the extra income and get to write it off, it's gotta be a pleasure. If your budget's tighter, then it's absolutely not worth it. May those who can enjoy then, especially in the cold.
check out a bobcat toolcat. I have had one for 8 years and it's got everything that the gator has and more. You can actually do work with it. Just saying.
@@MustObeyTheRules They are way stronger and more heavy duty than a gator. You can use all the attachments that a bobcat uses and it's an enclosed cab with AC and heat
@@MichaelJones1527 I’m well aware. I’m saying they have a similar look. Some have small dump bed, some 3 point. I’ve used a few of them doing small dirt jobs, plowing snow and moving pallets. They’re super slow tho, two speed tops out at like 17 mph
@@MichaelJones1527 yea I’d probably agree with ya there although I’d rather just have a skid loader than a tool cat. I’d get a cheap old pickup truck over a gator too, that’s for sure.
The first time you said 35K I thought I had heard wrong. The second time you said 35K I thought I’d heard wrong. The third time you said 35K......Well you get the picture. Now I really know what they mean when they say John Deere Green $$$$
I have a 2019 Ranger with FX4 package. When my Gator was being serviced, I had to use the Ranger in our muddy fields. No comparison, the Ranger barely made it out of the mud, the Gator will practically go anywhere except underwater and in the sky.
@@BrookhillAngus had a 89 ol' skool ranger 2 wd. Put R-1 lugs on the rears and I couldn't stick in the worst muck on my place.More importantly the wife couldn't stick it either.
@@BrookhillAngus More than likely your Ranger has mud and snow street tires at full pressure. Drop the pressure to 5 PSI and you won't stick it anywhere the gator can go and you have a bigger bed,safer ride,etc. All just opines: all said and done it's your money and your choice.
Just purchased a Can Am Defender limited. They only offer a gas motor right now. I like that diesel better, but the Can Am is way more powerful at that price point. Im bigger guy than you are and Ive had it up to almost 60.
Spent 6 grand on a 2004 Suzuki carry with 5000km 8yr. ago. 600cc gas 3 banger, 4x4 hi-lo diff and axel lock. AM radio, heat a/c, 4’x6’ bed with 800kg capacity. Search Japanese mini truck.
Agree. In 2015 I bought a 2013 Tundra Crew Max for 29.9k. That is a LOT more vehicle for the money. It now has almost 120k miles on it and it is still going strong.
It's about time you stepped up to a "REAL" UTV. We have an 855D that we bought fully loaded in 2016, and it just won't stop, and that is being used hard on a ranch daily. Congrats!
You can buy a new Ford F150 for under $30,000 and a new Ford F150 for over $80,000. You get what you pay for. All brands have the top and bottom in the same model.

He’s pretty smart because he has found away to buy his equipment, enhance his land, video the process, make the videos profitable and use that income back into the land. It’s a complete circle.

Do you need to service an Hydro-static Drive ? . . i bought a John Deere E110 Ride-on-Mower/ Lawn Tractor and the user/service manual does not say anything about servicing the Hydro-static Drive (replace oil? ) ....it does not have any drain plugs on the hydro-static drive either.
We have this unit with all available options including front and rear LED work lights, VBoss snow plow, winch, satellite radio, etc. Had the KubotaRTV for years and this thing blows it away. Built like a tank with plenty of diesel power/torque. We use it for tasks all four seasons in Michigan.
Beautiful setup Went with the earring protection work tunes you suggested. Two day’s in, one of the best purchases in a long time. Keep what’s left of my hearing! What?!!
There is for sure a reason to have a side by side. If you have new babies out in the pasture and you run over a leg of one in tall grass, it is better with a lighter side by side than a Jeep or pickup. That being said, I think picking and choosing which options are needed vs nice to have is a very personal decision for each buyer.
UTV prices are absolutely insane... which is why Ill be building my own buggy. I really don't understand these big brands' race to the top price war they got going on. You know the markup on these things is criminal and is ultimately gonna probably lead to their demise as people figure this out.
You’d be surprised about the rubber hood latches, my grandpa has a 2012 xuv 550s4 and the latches are still there like brand new not stretched or anything. Very surprised.
That was a honest review.I think they should have a longer bed, for it is used for work and where in that short bed can you put a load of wood etc. The cvt transmission was also used in the nissan Rouge and now the ford ranger. They where having trouble with them in the nissan rouge and never fixed the issues.Thoes belts do go out and expencive to replace.They do not last no ware near as long as a reg.transmissions.
I’m surprised seats are not weather proof. Looks pretty sweet. I bet for half that cost you could custom build a kick butt 4x4 Suzuki Samurai. Needs more lights for sure. Would love a follow up after he’s done with it.
5:38 trust me, you want all the goofy plastic. if you weigh the new gators against the old sheet metal ones, the new ones are WAY lighter. with a more efficient engine. every ounce that you save by not using sheet metal, its an ounce towards more power (higher thrust to weight ratio)
$35k is a joke. Can am defender limited coming in at $25k. It's much higher quality and tons more features. Seems the green paint adds an extra $10-15k
You all must be very rich 35K is a lot for a 4 wheeler with a bed may be $3,500.00 I don't care if it was solid gold. You said 10K cheaper I say 33K cheaper can't even drive on road too slow. Thanks for sharing God bless you all.
My friend bought a John Deer diesel gator and it's absolutely gutless!!!! We took it camping in Colorado and used it to carry our camping stuff up the trails and it struggled up the tail so much!! Granted the trail and our destination takes only a hour and a half to get normally and we've taken the trail in other loaded UTV before with no problem and with the Gator it took us over 3Hours!!!!! I do not recommend the diesel engine at all!
it's not a recreational side by side my friend.....it's made for farm work...I don't recomend the gas as I had the 825I and it's not the machine that this one is...but gators are built for work..and some play...not a trail machine to take out playing in the woods like an RZR
I have a 2019 835M, gas engine in Olive Drab/Flat Black with black wheels. I have tool racks on the sides of the bed which work great, carry weed eater and pole saw and long handle tools. I have a front rack, very useful. Been a great machine, especially on those cold and rainy days.
FYI all you need to bypass the seat belt alarm and safety is a seat belt extender from any auto parts store about $15. It also helps if your a little bigger. It connects right in regular spot and seat belt connects in extension.
I think you’re right about a few things but I still think the price is crazy even if they did it. They should be having all those extra lights in there, especially on the front and the back of the top of the cab. 35 grand is just ridiculous and typical John Deere pricing, like their $200 electric drills that are the same as the $90 ones everyone else sells. Don’t get me wrong I love John Deere but they’re not exactly economical on a lot of things.
I have a Xuv835m Gator i think, im to lazy to go out to my garage installed to my house and see, but mine is a gas and it goes faster, it has AC and a heater, doors, close to yours, but is it SWEET in the middle of the summer.
Gonna be crying for awhile for 35K Large that you can't even drive to the grocery store, pull another truck out, bring the kids to school, pull a hay trailer, etc, etc ! Edit: Plow snow that will actually make you money also, to offset the cost.
Awesome video, awesome machine, I just can’t believe they cost more than a good used pickup nowadays. Heck we oughta be able to just tag em and drive em on the road lol
I’d like to see an auxiliary fuel tank in the empty space between the cab and tool box. I feel that it would be a great use of space and you wouldn’t need to fuel up for a very very long time.
I agree im not overly impressed with my john deere 6120. Kubota and the red tractors are just as capable for less price and john deere tractors aren't manufactured in the states
@@joey011582 Not all JD tractors are made in the US. However, the sub-compact and compact tractors are made in Georgia. John Deere Tractor Works in Waterloo, IA makes a variety of large tractor models. However, since JD is a global company, they have tractor factories all over the world so that they can tailor the equipment to local preferences and meet government standards for that market. To say that they make no tractors in the United State is false.
Whew that thing has everything that a Cadillac has. I dont have a Cadillac though. I just look over at the dog and the cluttered floor board of my 12 year old truck and think if I get something new i will have to move all that stuff. Got over being in a hurry years ago, might be why I dont need a winch on the front of the truck, if its that muddy I walk and its usually not crowded when you walk in the mud. Kind of enjoy the quite.
Love my '17 825i with the German made DeLuxe cab with heat, wiper... Everything except the radio. 11,000 miles and 700 hours. Love the full glass door cab. Looks like a Bell helicopter🤣Salt roads in New Hampshire are not your friend. Exhaust system desolves in 3 years. 46 mph top speed 👍
For 35k, I would think little things like auxiliary lighting would be standard. For 35k, I would expect it to loaded to the hilt. For less than 35k, you could get a decent used pick up with money leftover to upgrade the suspension for off roading on the farm. Just my opinion, but some people will buy anything with that expensive green color "molded" on it.
yeah...but the luxury of heat, ac, cab and tax deduction for farm equipment is sometimes worth it. I have a willys...I'll tell you...it's nothing like this
Great video...I just ordered one and mine is going to be olive and black for the color. Had to pay a little more for that but I like it. I am also getting it with the works...Can't wait! Have fun...
yep makes sense kinda.....ask me how many times my neighbor has accidentally jammed it into reverse? Why not simply move the shifter lever up and closer to the operators position? In my mind it's simply a backwards design
When you are successful, especially in the farming/ranching sector, the haters come out of the woodwork. The only thing one can do it keep buying more and smile.
Very very nice if you have a lot of blow money and farm for the fun of it. Too expensive for a farm side/side. I’ll stick with my $20k less Kawasaki mule.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer, Sorry, but this about pissing money away and the whole, ''look at me'' situation. Your Skiddy costs way less and gets way more work done than this.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer woah I have have both fx pro and 865 and would not throw out that comparison it wound be more like gmc vs Cadillac with the mule carrying reliability of a honda
As far as that hood goes, I'd like to see if first hand, but hard rigid plastic cracks way to easy and if that will be more resistant to cracking/breaking I wouldn't mind it. The side tabs made of rubber should be ok. My '05 Yamaha Rhino hood tabs are still going strong, same type of material.
good works tractors recently done a plastic hood vs metal test, 6:28 why didn't john deere use the same rubber straps you see on semi-trailer bonnets / hoods. 14:25 JD is allways putting things backwards WHY ? low is in the high spot, and hi is lower spot , WHY JD ? yes i agree on hydrostat, but they need a coast switch. you really would think the bed would be wider and longer, and tilt straight back for that price.
The backwards gear shifter is most likely so that the shift lever itself is out of the way of passengers and cargo during operation, otherwise drive would be all the way down and risk being bumped by a middle passenger
I have the XUV 835R, the gas model, it has everything but a radio. The heat is great, the AC is absolutely fantastic. I’ve had it for two years now and the AC will freeze you out. I live in south Louisiana so you know it’s working. It has a cabin filter and a pressurized cab to keep the dust out. I have the wench, the front work lights, the rear work lights, the turn signals, the hazard flashers, the horn, windshield washer/wipers, the electric/hydraulic dump bead, the bumpers front and rear, camouflage exterior and black alloy rims with nice mud grip tires. It has an 85 amp alternator to power all the electrical demand you can use and I added a 1100 watt inverter to power 120 volt power tools like drills small compressor etc. I like he way the doors open, unlike the ranger suicide doors. Makes getting in and out a lot easier, also the fear or them opening when trailering down the interstate to the hunting lease and them flying open and destroying them is gone. The windshield opening is convenient and there is a detent that will allow you to open the windshield an inch or so for fresh air on those days during spring or fall when you don’t need the AC or the heat. I did some shopping when I bought mine and compared the Kubota, Polaris, Bobcat and CanAm. With all the same equipment the Deere was the best price at $24650. Yes, still a lot of money but I’m retired and that’s what I wanted. I’ve had no problems with it and it’s never been stuck. No I don’t go through 3 feet of water with it. That’s not what I bought it for. No regrets on purchasing it. Thanks for checking out my comments.
I had a 2019 setup just like it but I had problems when it rained he leaked and I ended up selling it back jd and buying a 2020 canam limited and it’s way better all around everything setup I paid $26k but definitely check can and before you go pickup the jd gater. Because getting water in a insulated cab is no good causes mold and all
My new machine is the can am defender limited 1000 and I’d definitely advise everyone to look at them before going green or orange it’s a work horse and setup for the road and tows very good and will go however fast you need on the road much faster in the gator
It's worth it if you do what you guys do I mean when it 20 degrees out and that wind is blowing you will want a cab just like that and with heat and ac to o yeah I would buy it
That's very crazy , cost more than my house, why so much money are the rims made of gold or other parts of it , why just why

I do not recommend the diesel engine at all!
it's not a recreational side by side my friend.....it's made for farm work...I don't recomend the gas as I had the 825I and it's not the machine that this one is...but gators are built for work..and some play...not a trail machine to take out playing in the woods like an RZR
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer we weren't using it as a toy bud, we literally used it to haul our gear to our camp site and that was it. A.k.A work
Now I want one. But we can't even afford a 6,000 dollar side-by-side.
But we can give nasa 60 million a day
Has one of my coils in it. I build the heating coil for the company that builds the heater unit.
Nice
I'm not a farmer - however I am a quilter. So much better to work with a great machine than a cheap one.
looks awesome. if it doesn’t break the bank, have at it!
I have a 2019 835M, gas engine in Olive Drab/Flat Black with black wheels. I have tool racks on the sides of the bed which work great, carry weed eater and pole saw and long handle tools. I have a front rack, very useful. Been a great machine, especially on those cold and rainy days.
Here it is 2 years later and and the price of Side by Sides today is crazy. Polaris Crew Cab Expeditions are pushing $50k now. Crazy.
The shift lever is fine. What is backwards is the crank windows. Opposite of a truck
FYI all you need to bypass the seat belt alarm and safety is a seat belt extender from any auto parts store about $15. It also helps if your a little bigger. It connects right in regular spot and seat belt connects in extension.
It’s nice but it’ll be collecting dust at the dealership waiting on me to buy it 😆
I think you’re right about a few things but I still think the price is crazy even if they did it. They should be having all those extra lights in there, especially on the front and the back of the top of the cab. 35 grand is just ridiculous and typical John Deere pricing, like their $200 electric drills that are the same as the $90 ones everyone else sells. Don’t get me wrong I love John Deere but they’re not exactly economical on a lot of things.
I Love how your hat is the same colour as the gator x Im a woman and cant drive but that thing has no horn oh goodness xx Wooooo xx
I have a Xuv835m Gator i think, im to lazy to go out to my garage installed to my house and see, but mine is a gas and it goes faster, it has AC and a heater, doors, close to yours, but is it SWEET in the middle of the summer.
Good for your neighbor that sure looks like an awesome machine personally I’ll stick with my can am defender
In the winter when dudes plowing snow in his dry, heated cab, 35k will be money well spent. Buy once cry once.
Gonna be crying for awhile for 35K Large that you can't even drive to the grocery store, pull another truck out, bring the kids to school, pull a hay trailer, etc, etc !
Edit: Plow snow that will actually make you money also, to offset the cost.
Can get a nice pickup for 35k..so why?
@@briancasey4917, Can get two for that price !
@@augustreil I plow snow with mine and all I’ve got extra is a windshield. It just is what a fellow wants.
Great video alot of effort and great review you have covered everything you could cover
Awesome video, awesome machine, I just can’t believe they cost more than a good used pickup nowadays. Heck we oughta be able to just tag em and drive em on the road lol
I’d like to see an auxiliary fuel tank in the empty space between the cab and tool box. I feel that it would be a great use of space and you wouldn’t need to fuel up for a very very long time.
Hey josh I love the bloopers that are in the vids man their great 👍 keep them going
James River Equipment or Quality Equipment. Paying for the name and the green paint
I think you're paying for a machine that should last a lifetime...I agree it is expensive
I agree im not overly impressed with my john deere 6120. Kubota and the red tractors are just as capable for less price and john deere tractors aren't manufactured in the states
@@joey011582 Not all JD tractors are made in the US. However, the sub-compact and compact tractors are made in Georgia. John Deere Tractor Works in Waterloo, IA makes a variety of large tractor models. However, since JD is a global company, they have tractor factories all over the world so that they can tailor the equipment to local preferences and meet government standards for that market. To say that they make no tractors in the United State is false.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer won’t last your lifetime unless you are eighty
Whew that thing has everything that a Cadillac has. I dont have a Cadillac though. I just look over at the dog and the cluttered floor board of my 12 year old truck and think if I get something new i will have to move all that stuff. Got over being in a hurry years ago, might be why I dont need a winch on the front of the truck, if its that muddy I walk and its usually not crowded when you walk in the mud. Kind of enjoy the quite.
Love my '17 825i with the German made DeLuxe cab with heat, wiper... Everything except the radio. 11,000 miles and 700 hours. Love the full glass door cab. Looks like a Bell helicopter🤣Salt roads in New Hampshire are not your friend. Exhaust system desolves in 3 years. 46 mph top speed 👍
I got rid of my 825I because I had nothing but problems out of it...some are great, some are simply garbage...I have a honda pioneer now and love it!
For 35k, I would think little things like auxiliary lighting would be standard. For 35k, I would expect it to loaded to the hilt. For less than 35k, you could get a decent used pick up with money leftover to upgrade the suspension for off roading on the farm. Just my opinion, but some people will buy anything with that expensive green color "molded" on it.
Thanks for the fun video. Geez - you could buy a classic Willys CJ, drive it on the farm and road and save about $20k
yeah...but the luxury of heat, ac, cab and tax deduction for farm equipment is sometimes worth it. I have a willys...I'll tell you...it's nothing like this
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Very true! But our Willys are still going strong after 75 years. Heat and A/C are overrated. lol
Great video...I just ordered one and mine is going to be olive and black for the color. Had to pay a little more for that but I like it. I am also getting it with the works...Can't wait! Have fun...
The park is at the bottom because with 3 large adults the lever would be in the way during travel with H or L at the bottom
yep makes sense kinda.....ask me how many times my neighbor has accidentally jammed it into reverse? Why not simply move the shifter lever up and closer to the operators position? In my mind it's simply a backwards design
Shifter seems to be designed that way to give more passenger space..
The hate for the guy who bought this is crazy. Personally I wouldn't buy it but I think it really cool.
People are buying them every day.....equipment is expensive for sure!
When you are successful, especially in the farming/ranching sector, the haters come out of the woodwork. The only thing one can do it keep buying more and smile.
Buy it! You can write it off as an expense for your farm! You only live once and your wife will love it!!!!!
We've got a Kubota....but I wouldn't mind John Deere sending one out for a demo lol
as cheap as radios/bluetooth are now a days, JD should of definitely included some sort of stereo, especially at $35k
It's always been my dream to have an enclosed gator to roam around my property in with my dogs
Very very nice if you have a lot of blow money and farm for the fun of it. Too expensive for a farm side/side. I’ll stick with my $20k less Kawasaki mule.
Some folks drive Kia...some drive Mercedes....it's all about what brings value to your life my friend
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer, Sorry, but this about pissing money away and the whole, ''look at me'' situation. Your Skiddy costs way less and gets way more work done than this.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer woah I have have both fx pro and 865 and would not throw out that comparison it wound be more like gmc vs Cadillac with the mule carrying reliability of a honda
@@augustreil agree
Would love to have this Gator, How handy this would be on the farm
As far as that hood goes, I'd like to see if first hand, but hard rigid plastic cracks way to easy and if that will be more resistant to cracking/breaking I wouldn't mind it. The side tabs made of rubber should be ok. My '05 Yamaha Rhino hood tabs are still going strong, same type of material.
good works tractors recently done a plastic hood vs metal test, 6:28 why didn't john deere use the same rubber straps you see on semi-trailer bonnets / hoods. 14:25 JD is allways putting things backwards WHY ? low is in the high spot, and hi is lower spot , WHY JD ? yes i agree on hydrostat, but they need a coast switch. you really would think the bed would be wider and longer, and tilt straight back for that price.
The backwards gear shifter is most likely so that the shift lever itself is out of the way of passengers and cargo during operation, otherwise drive would be all the way down and risk being bumped by a middle passenger
I have the XUV 835R, the gas model, it has everything but a radio. The heat is great, the AC is absolutely fantastic. I’ve had it for two years now and the AC will freeze you out. I live in south Louisiana so you know it’s working. It has a cabin filter and a pressurized cab to keep the dust out. I have the wench, the front work lights, the rear work lights, the turn signals, the hazard flashers, the horn, windshield washer/wipers, the electric/hydraulic dump bead, the bumpers front and rear, camouflage exterior and black alloy rims with nice mud grip tires. It has an 85 amp alternator to power all the electrical demand you can use and I added a 1100 watt inverter to power 120 volt power tools like drills small compressor etc. I like he way the doors open, unlike the ranger suicide doors. Makes getting in and out a lot easier, also the fear or them opening when trailering down the interstate to the hunting lease and them flying open and destroying them is gone. The windshield opening is convenient and there is a detent that will allow you to open the windshield an inch or so for fresh air on those days during spring or fall when you don’t need the AC or the heat. I did some shopping when I bought mine and compared the Kubota, Polaris, Bobcat and CanAm. With all the same equipment the Deere was the best price at $24650. Yes, still a lot of money but I’m retired and that’s what I wanted. I’ve had no problems with it and it’s never been stuck. No I don’t go through 3 feet of water with it. That’s not what I bought it for. No regrets on purchasing it. Thanks for checking out my comments.
I had a 2019 setup just like it but I had problems when it rained he leaked and I ended up selling it back jd and buying a 2020 canam limited and it’s way better all around everything setup I paid $26k but definitely check can and before you go pickup the jd gater. Because getting water in a insulated cab is no good causes mold and all
My new machine is the can am defender limited 1000 and I’d definitely advise everyone to look at them before going green or orange it’s a work horse and setup for the road and tows very good and will go however fast you need on the road much faster in the gator
It's worth it if you do what you guys do I mean when it 20 degrees out and that wind is blowing you will want a cab just like that and with heat and ac to o yeah I would buy it
Something I can not justify buying but am happy for your Nabor for sure. That’s great stuff
At minimum it should be 4 seater
Kawasaki Mule 4010 under $10K best buy I ever made
