The new  Gator XUVs from John Deere have arrived and they are the fastest, most powerful gator that John Deere has ever made. And I got this information from a good source. Kevin Lund to be exact, a John Deere Gator expert.

The new Gator XUV 825i boasts 50 horsepower, can hit top speeds of 44 miles an hour, has three-cylinders, a dual overhead cam, and an inline engine that takes you anywhere you need to go.

I asked Lund why growers need an XUV and he answered, “The reason we call an XUV and XUV, is because we consider it a cross over vehicle. We we talk to farmers they want a couple of things out of the vehicle. They want it to be able to work hard. So the XUV has 1,000 lbs of payload capacity in the cargo bed so it can carry heavy loads. It’s got suspension system that’s built to handle it and a chassis that’s built strong.”

Lund continued, “And they also want some speed. They’ve got a lot of distance to cover…cows to chase….so they want a vehicle that can at least catch the cow if not be as agile as the cow.”

The new line of Gators comes in three models: the 825i, 625i and the 855D and are available now. You can learn more about the Gator XUV line at www.johndeere.com/gator or by listening to my interview with Kevin Lund. John Deere Launches Fastest Gators Around
