Why doesn't JD come out with something like the Crocodile; big brother to the Gator? JD: So, if we did decide to do this, what would you want to see on this 🐊 Crocodile 🐊 / "Crock" ? BP: Great question, thank you for asking. Mmmmmm here's a few things that come immediately to mind: 1. Size - 30% larger than the Gator 2. Engine - Diesel only, 50 hp + 3. Hydraulics - Bucket, Plow, Snow ❄️ Blower Grapple, etc. 4. Towing Capacity: Increase * Alot of what the Gator has could obviously be replicated into the Crocodile; hopefully. I'm in New England, we get our fair share of snow. I currently own an X595 JD compact tractor. I have both the 47" blower & 54" plow. It does a GREAT JOB blowing snow! BUT if we get a foot plus, temps are in the teens to low 20's and I know I'm gonna be out there for a couple of hours blowing; gets COLD after awhile, just does. My father used to say: " Gets colder every year". I'm now starting to understand what he meant. I keep an eye out every year on the Gator, hoping that JD will announce they're increasing the Gators physical size in order to integrate hydraulics for future model(s). Sure would be nice to be able to sit in a nice, warm, good sized cabin with both defrost/heat. The caveat of course would be a 60"+ blower deck hanging off the front end of that Gator or "Crock"! Now that would put the FUN back into blowing ❄️🌨️❄️! Another nice feature would be a Bose stereo, in keeping with the 🇺🇲 American 🇺🇲 theme,,,,,,, Doesn't Bobcat have 2 UTV models; one with 25 hp & the other 50? I hired a land clearing company, one of the machines they arrived with was the Bobcat 50 hp Diesel with a grapple attachment. Did a nice job. Cabin wasn't very impressive and it looked like it was made in the 60's. I'm a JD guy; holding out, still waiting for JD to appease me. Who knows, if JD won't grant me my wish; then maybe 🎅 will next ⛄ Christmas 🎄? If, by chance, you do bump into him, tell him I've been good; OK? He may well be my only hope. Ha!
Is it actually gonna shift cause my 825i clutch is garbage, had it replaced under warranty and still cant shift unless the engine is off. Only has like 80 hours total
I hope the dumb CVT drive has either been greatly improved or replaced by a drive unit that won’t have clutch freezes. What a pain in the pocket. HORRIBLE. Did you hear me Johnny? 🤬😤😖
Would never buy another John Deere XUV again. My 2019 special edition with only 40 hours on it never shifted correctly from jump. They told me when I called, right out of warranty, it was a linkage problem. Here I am today with a $1500 bill for a frozen clutch, went back-and-forth with John Deere and they won’t do a dang thing. Very disappointed. I would avoid John Deere XUVs
Raybob, thanks for your interest. Please contact your local John Deere dealership for pricing information as prices are set by our individual dealers. If needed, you can find your local dealer at dealerlocator.deere.com.
You don’t have to worry about moving parts, less maintenance to none, don’t have to worry about gas prices, can get a fuel recharge every morning. And probably the most important thing Climate Change
Ev get cheaper every year and in a couple of years a brand new one will be cheaper to buy then a internal combustion engine. So I kind of agree with your point
I’m happy that there is a diesel option. I’m getting one very soon
Put a 6 speed dual clutch transmission like Honda pioneer and add another 20 hp to the 835 and you will have the perfect xuv
And a flared out bed side to cover the tires and I'll trade my 835M in on a new one. Maybe 25 more HP.

I’d be interested in a smaller machine. Sounds like a good idea.

Hi Mr. Jacob
Do you have any plan to launchGator XUV in India?
3:33 what mountain is this ? thx
can i daily drive it
Is it actually gonna shift cause my 825i clutch is garbage, had it replaced under warranty and still cant shift unless the engine is off. Only has like 80 hours total
I feel your pain!! I have an 825I and had the clutch replaced under warranty. Still shifts terrible. Why not hydrostatic??
@@bobstahl5505 you don’t want hydrostatic in a gator. You need a golf cart style setup like the T series gators have.
I hope the dumb CVT drive has either been greatly improved or replaced by a drive unit that won’t have clutch freezes. What a pain in the pocket. HORRIBLE. Did you hear me Johnny? 🤬😤😖

I wonder how much they cost?

About time when I want 4wd I want 4wd. Enginerds need to quit overcomplicating things. 4wd button on = 4wd on....
sorry 40,000 dollars plus for that I'll just buy a small 4X4 pickup to drive around on the farm .
Where did you get 40k?😂
Go to John Deere and build your own . 40 grand plus .
tup i did it full optional... almost 50k grands buddy
These things are seriously turning into small cars
First
Avoid John Deere XUV’s at all costs. Clutch failure with only 40 hours, dang thing never worked right, no help from John Deere
Question, when will John Deere make a electric UTV? The future is here
No one wants an electric utv

@@GMfan746 Electric Gators are going to be more expensive to manufacture so they will be considerably more for the consumer to buy

xW_olfs - There’s no such thing as “Climate Change”. Turn off the “news”.
