THIS amazing looking all-terrain vehicle is called the Gator XUV.
Part of the Crossover Series utility vehicle range from John Deere, the XUV looks just the thing for combining fun times out on the paddocks and bush tracks with fishing and outdoor pursuits.
The XUV is available in 825i, 855D and 625i models and all are packed with features for safety and versatility.
John Deere says an emphasis has been placed on safety, with each model rigorously tested beyond normal customer use and in harsh conditions.
The backbone is a hydroform steel frame designed with fewer bolted and welded joints, which gives it the strength to haul demanding loads. The heavy-duty truck-style frame provides unmatched resistance to twisting and vibration. And both operator and passenger can tackle any terrain with the confidence of a robust roll-over protection system.
Providing the Gator 825i, for example, with the much needed muscle to haul, tow and traverse is an 812cc, three-cylinder, dual overhead cams, liquid-cooled, four-stroke petrol engine, producing 47 lb-ft of torque (6.5 kgm) at 3200 rpm. Advanced electronic- controls and fuel-injection systems deliver superb starting, idling, and throttle response during operation.
Harnessing that power is a true on-demand 4WD with a precision engineered drivetrain system to optimise acceleration in low and high gears. It’ll accelerate quickly when needed or creep deftly to manoeuvre through tight spots.
Coupled with an 11 inch ground clearance, the Gator will clear more obstacles on the trail without getting hung up. Fully independent front and rear suspension keeps the wheels on the ground for superior stability through difficult terrain.
