*XUV835R* - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Just got mine a month ago. Totally impressed. Took a couple of die hard Polaris guys for a ride and there comments included,"well this is a game changer!" This is an amazing upgrade from my 825i and that is a great machine also. The cab and features inside are second to none. Quiet even while traveling at 48mph with the a/c full blast! Congratulations JD on an impressive machine
They are awesome!!
what side by side do you have?
Very impressive. Love the roll down windows, automatic rear tilting, & attention to detail on the interior
I couldn't agree more!
I have a love for Jon Deere because my uncle built them and retired from the company he was such a great man and every time I see one I think of him ..
Thanks for sharing your story!
I have got to get one of these!! Soon...Thanks for sharing...
Thank you for watching!
We use several of these exact R models in the diesel. Not a problem with anything. We love them as we have our other Gators we’ve used. We had the air filter relocation kit installed because the air intake is too low to the ground on these units so they suck up just about everything. The kit raises the filter stack to just above the top of the cab and the air intake is there. Big difference. Get what works for you.
Where did you get that relocation kit at? I cannot find that offering from John Deere.
Cotton and Dust® Products of West Texas, LLC
I’d like to know where I can get the air relocation kit.
Awesome to hear!
Being a Ranger owner I'm impressed with this unit. The 835R will replace my Ranger in the spring of 2019 here on the farm.
Is it a ford
Billy bob houserman The 8th are u stupid or stupid? It’s a Polaris ranger
Awesome!
@@noahranker4133 woosh
Waiting for a few years to buy a used one, let someone else take the hit... So expensive but what a great machine!
Not a bad strategy!
Great video
Thanks you and thanks for watching!
I worked on a resort in Hawaii. The golf course guys had gators. They stopped getting gators and got Toros instead. The gators rust away way quicker. 2 separate resorts stopped using gators for this reason that I know of. Yes this is Hawaii right next to the ocean driving on grass that’s been fertilized. Everything rusts here, but the gators rusted way faster than toros. Probably not a problem for most people in the mainland. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up.
Interesting! Thanks for the comment, I will pass it along.
Wow, this is a well done product review. Nice job.
Thank you!
He said a metal bed sucks, then said look at this superior METAL floor we have!
I never said metal beds suck I just feel like the removeable poly sides are superior to other bed designs. Thanks for watching!
Good job! Lots of info.
Glad you liked!
Very nice
Thanks!
I LOVED IT
Good deal!
Do the rear turn signals and rear flashers simply start working when the front accessory wiring harness and front turn signal kit is installed or is an additional wiring harness needed?
Yes, if they are installed in the bed then the wiring is already in the main harness.
What’s beside the gear shift? Dif lock?
Yes, to the right of the steering wheel is the differential lock.
Nice ! How long are the financing options through JD ?
They change every quarter so for more info you can contact one of our sales representatives at this link west-equip.com/contact-us. Thanks for watching!
How does the rear tailgate "remove" from the Gator?
It comes off when you remove the sides of the cargo box.
that hood looks high dollar stout! 😃👍
It is definitely stout!
Glad Farming Simulator added JD, I'm just pissed about not having this in without buying the collectors edition of it, oh wait, the collectors edition wasn't sold in the USA. Any way, this gator looks better then the Polaris Ranger 1000, just with out the options.
I agree its an awesome machine!
24 thousand!! Holy shit people, just buy a jeep!...
Had one for sale near me just like this one, it was selling for 28,000 lol
No if I'm gunna get a side by side I'll buy a Bobcat toolcat 5600
@Al What do you think of it?
I've had a jeep. It's no way to see really rough terrain.
You gotta consider what all else you can use this for that you can't use a Jeep for.
I'm confused if I google where the engine is made it says china can you clarify I'm wanting to purchase one.. But that will be a deal breaker.
Yes, it is a Chinese made engine but what I would say to that is John Deere has been using these engines for years and they have proven to be a phenomenal engine.
So if the premium model comes with cloth seats, the basic comes with perforated leather?🤔
Well the basic comes in the more standard weather resistant and stain resistant vinyl seats. The cloth is a premium option in these models due to the fact that it is a fully sealed and climate controlled cab.
would like a review and showcase of Signiture Edition 835R. Thanks
This is definitely on the list! Just waiting on one of them to arrive to one of our locations. Thanks for watching!
The small lever that is used to adjust the steering wheel up and down. I have a 2015 835R, the adjustment lever came out and I don't know how to replace it. Can you give me instruction on how to replace it?
Hmmm. I will see if I could get a video out on this soon.
@@WesternEquipment Thank you sir.
Honestly John Deere could afford to sell this for 10 grand. These are really great pieces of equipment though and it was a great investment on our farm. Great video!
Glad you are enjoying your equipment and thank you for watching!
Does it have to be in neutral to start? or can it be left in high gear and start?
No you can start in any gear.
You can start it in gear! But you do have to have your foot on the brake!
Is this rig belt driven or gear drive ?
Belt driven.
nice vid :) thats my next ride 1's my 10 year old wheeler gives up on me.. wish i could demo 1 just 2 see if it would work on my small farm..
Thanks for the comment. What kind of atv do you have?
@@WesternEquipment ur welcome :) i have a 2010 polaris sportsman 850 xp eps. its been a good toy, but its got 6K miles on it & i just got done putting $1200 in it.. o & those 6k's have been hard miles..
I bought mine last July and when I discovered the engine was built in China was like a punch in the stomach.
While this machine is comfortable and plush, it is not without fault.
The doors needed to be repeatedly adjusted to prevent water from coming in. After the 5th adjustment they are holding and are good.
Trouble with the HVAC has been ongoing.
The exhaust on this machine is extremely loud. I purchased a Silent Rider to help control the low annoying tone.
The tires that came with it are extremely aggressive. So noisy it was difficult to talk with a passenger. I switched them.
Why why why is there not a park mode in the transmission? The parking brake pedal is very difficult to reach as it’s so high.
I’ve owned JD equipment on my farm for 40 years and am a fan of JDs stuff. This is a new beast for them. I’m confident they will work out the bugs.
I definitely have noticed some of these issues and rest assured that John Deere is aware of them as well. I'm with you and i think they will get all the wrinkles ironed out soon!
@@WesternEquipment Please tell me that the 4-wheel drive doesn't knock off below 4 mph and after 12mph! Also i test drove one last week and the Hvac did not work on a new 835m. The salesman assured me this is a rare thing. What have you heard about these problems? I am ready to buy something.
Just got mine last week. Very nice machine lots of power. My only complaint is when you get above 30 mph lots of air noise from around the top of the windows. Faster you go the louder it gets. I paid 26000 for this machine yes I'm going to complain to my dealer next week.
Did you get your problem solved? A lot of the time it is just an adjustment on the door itself.
Dude, the machine is pressurized, roll down one of he windows just a crack, problem gone.
Great video! You mentioned that the engine (Chery) is Italian. Is this correct? I was under the impression Chery was Chinese. Thanks.
Great catch, you are correct the Chery engine used in John Deere gators are manufactured in China. Thank you for keeping us on our toes!
Western Equipment Wonder if this is licensed from someone else or an original Chinese design? I know Chery makes cars as well and has partnered with Tata Motors of India.
Dont know which is worse. An Italian engine or a Chinese one? Maybe the same.
@osp80 So in other words a chinese copy of an Italian engine would be suicide. It also shows that Deere is cheeping out buying no name engines. If I wanted a cheap chinese engine I'd buy a cheap chinese UTV to go around it...
@@navigator1383 I have a 2014 Gator w/ this motor & I have only 1 issue since buying it. Recently it began to skip at idle when the engine is cold. Other than this it has plenty of power & sound great going down the trail. Hauls wood, gravel, corn hole bags & boards, folding chair & cooler, very well thank you.
What is the starting price of this one and the finished price with every option?
Hard to say with all the different incentives and options. Contact one of our Western Equipment locations for a more solid quote and thanks for watching!
Just loaded up an 835M Camo with black wheels and radials, LEDs and a hydraulic 72" plow, winch..virtually every option available except cloth seats (yuck). $30,500.
I got mine in July 2018.
It’s in the shop again for door adjustment, HVAC problems and poor functioning 4wd.
The tech confirmed 4wd’s inconsistent performance. He called Deere and they told him 4wd will not engage below 4mph or above 12mph. It’s designed this way. Why? Beats me. May explain why there aren’t any off road videos. Guess I’d better put turf tires on it and take it to the golf course.
I’ve owned a Kawasaki Mule, 3 Polaris Rangers, 2 Kabotas/AC and now this Gator. Never have I heard of such a sorry design in 4wd. I don’t expect to ever take it off road again. I didn’t buy it so I could walk home.
I'm going to check into this!
2 questions, do they still offer the full glass cab, and does the ac come the all glass cab
They do not offer the glass cab for the 835 Models, but they do still offer it on the 825 models and the HVAC is only offered on the 835 models. Thank you for watching!
Just retired would love to own one and nice to keep the wife cozy but hope to find one uses . To pricey keep use WALMART SHOPPERS in mind
We definitely have other price conscious options!
@@WesternEquipment Your lowest option is still absurdly overpriced for what you get. You're paying for the green plastic, it's a super rare material that can only be found in John Deere's personal back yard.
I can tell you that if you cross the Creek and it's high with water you will not move when that belt gets wet that's the only complaint I got about mine other than that I have had to do nothing to it just use it
We have heard this complaint before. I believe they are working on this issue!
Man, how deep is the water, I’ve never had that problem, of course I don’t go where you would need a snorkel either.
I have a Kubota RTVX1100C and can attest it is like a tank. Not fast but very capable. This vehicle seems more like a pickup.
This is definitely a workhorse with automotive luxuries. There is also a diesel model, 865R, for those that prefer the extra torque!
Can u give us a approximate price range
It all depends on how they are outfitted! For pricing email me at brent@west-equip.com!
Where do you get it and how much money did you pay 💰
Well these can be purchased from John Deere dealerships and prices differ depending on where you go. Thanks for watching!
The only problem I have is that you can get a nice ass 4wd diesel pickup for 23 grand. But, if you drive off road every day, this would work well I guess
Emory Bragg check out the Mahindra Roxor. Starting at $15,000
Exactly!
Can 8 year old ride it by them self?
We don't recommend unsupervised driving without a license but that would be up to the parents. Thanks for watching!
How Much ????
It all depends on how they are equipped and what incentives are out there but this one is generally somewhere around $25,000. But that is not a solid price.
what is the price of this friend car?
For pricing check us out at west-equip.com/. Thanks for watching!
Have you sold any of these yet?
Bunches. People love them.
@@WesternEquipment Thanks. I have one. It's an impressive side by side. I commented on another video the main problem I have with it is the rear tires throw a lot of mud on the cab and door handle and door seal and air cleaner and fuel/gas cap. It's a bit of a PIA for a daily use vehicle. Why do I tell you this? So you report back to JD. I also told my dealer. Over the holiday break I'm going to look into fabricating some sort of flare or mud flap or both - if I have time.
I've rented a number of UTV's. I bought this one in a moment of weakness. It was a good year and we're nearing tax time so, well, you know. These are really nice.
@Elkmonger Great to hear your feedback and thanks for your comments we appreciate them.
Where do I get one?
Your local dealer! Thanks for watching!
Okay Ohio here I come next week yay
It almost like a pickup truck inside.
Logan Carpenter Depends where you live in my state they are completely street legal If it can keep speed limits I can go on any road except freeway most states you can
This is true! The interior is nice!
Need a sliding rear window in it
I agree 100%!
being a ranger owner: the W H A T
Like what you see? Or surprised by the price?
Can you do a giveaway i always watch your videos but forget to give a like
Stay tuned! We may be doing something special like this in the near future. Thanks for watching!
all it needs now is air bags, an a back up camera.lol
Right!
I know you can add an aftermarket back up camera. I think Can Am has that as an option from the factory, too.
Great machine, but they use tempered glass on the windshield. A small rock shattered mine trailering it to the lease for a hunt. Rendered it useless. Lift posts flopping around, windshield wiper flopping around, glass all over seats, dash, floor. Gouged up all the dash. It was raining so all the interior got soaked. Not a good morning. Getting a price to replace it now, bet they aren’t cheep. Wish they would have told me about the windshield material, may have built a shield for trailering or bought a Polaris.
Sorry for your bad experience! If we can help in any way shoot me an email at brent@west-equip.com!
I really like it except the top speed. We have 825i and the 44 mph isnt ideal.
If you're looking for more speed you could look into the RSX860M. It has a top speed of 60 MPH. Thanks for watching!
We live on a farm with gravel roads.
Our 2012 polaris ranger has served us well. But driving it on the dusty roads will almost immediately coat you in limestone dust.
I think the ranger can run faster than 45 mph but i usually never run over 20.
Hoping to get an 835r in a week or two.
@@willrine8614 not sure if you bought but I'm in a similar situation and bought an M and added a lot of R features but I wanted the vinyl seating as it doesn't collect the dust and is a breeze to clean whereas cloth can be a mess. Just a thought.
The belt drive in these machines are horrible we used to use ours quite a lot but also spent a lot of time in our dealer!
Benjamin Bauer the key to belt longevity is to use low gear when operating on hilly terrain or through ruts etc. Also never leave the Gator in gear while stopped, such as when opening a gate.
If you glaze the belt from operating under the conditions as described above you will seriously degrade the belt life
Good tips!
Kubota mad that same exact thing but better
In what way?
👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 thanks for watching
Why do they make things hard to get too.
I do agree with you on this one!
Engineers, they love to change things. That & if you want air conditioning or some other extra feature it has to go somewhere.
I’ve chest for that cold “water”😉
Exactly 😂
All that cloth in the cab would get very dirty if working on a rainy day.
For me one reason to buy a UTV for the farm than buying a road going utility vehicle is the ease of access with the UTV. Without doors it’s easy to jump out & get back in the vehicle. If I’ve got to open a door to get in and out I’d rather buy a Ford or Toyota vehicle.
Well you do have an option of going with the 835M which come without doors standard.
I believe if you go online & search for Build your own Gator, you'll find the high back sport seats in leather as another option too.
Can he say "here" one more time?
HAHAHA! I know, bad habit! Trying to do better but I appreciate the constructive criticism!
This was not on the top ten atvs to buy in 2018. Insulting the inventor of the plow. Best production gator yet. If you want a bit more speed the clutch mod for the 825 adds about 5 mph.
spirit which clutch modification are you referring to?
Have you installed this mod?
I agree!
I can't imagine what the profit margin is on these at 25K
Trust me, it's not a crazy as you would think. With prices on everything going up these days and the amount of electronics and upgrades on this machine it is very comparable to other brands with the same specs.
😁✌
Nice!
I had a gator 590i, nothing but problems with it, traded for a Kubota Sidekick, head and shoulders a better buy
How are you liking it now?
Seems like Deere and Rubbermaid should have some kind of merger.
Interesting......
@@WesternEquipment In other words I don't buy your bullshit argument about plastic being better. (Right before you brag about the metal bed floor) It might be great for~10 years but then you gotta replace it at $900 per panel. Metal is easy to fix and paint. The thing I hate most about my Deere GT is the god damn plastic hood. 3 years old it looks like crap, and they want over $700 for a replacement! If you're the kind of person that beats the crap out of your stuff and then just gets rid of it and buys a new one - plastic is great! For people who like to keep and take care of their things, it is horrible.
I don't care what kind it is, plastic will always fade under UV light, and start cracking with age.
As we know guys Competitors metal beds rust thru in 5 years wtf , you look like stuffed burrito in that thing, cloth seat no way.engine sounded good! The ability to open windshield very cool.
Go back and listen again, I clearly say we have seen trades come in that were from 5-8 years old that were rusted through after losing paint. The stuffed burrito was a new one, compliments to my wife for being such a good cook!
For the cost of it and no electric window’s😮
What a dumb comment. Its one less thing to go wrong.
Rod Taylor we all don’t buy these with daddy’s money.
HAHA can't please everybody I guess!
As a Deere guy myself I'd love to have one but I could get a good used diesel pickup for that price ! Entirely too expensive
Yes they are definitely pricey, but keep in mind you can take them where the pickup wouldn't want to go! Thank you for watching!!
Kubota rtv 900
John Deere 835R
can you get me that
Yes we can. Give us a call
For and r serious should include a radio!
I agree but unfortunately at this point it is an option, not a standard feature.
The Chery engine is made in China, not Italy.
@billfulton Good catch. We misspoke on that.
Bill Fulton
I caught that as well. I got one in 2018, July.
Chinese Cherry cars were once sold in Australia.
So it’s a petrol engine. Why not have a diesel?
A Mahindra Roxor (Willy’s style Jeep)is only about $15,000 starting out. Heck of a better deal
Except it's a peice of crap!
Load one of those up the way this one is and then let's compare!
They only start at an ultra low price of 25,000
Unfortunately this is pretty accurate!
This much money just buy a damn small truck. Does everything’s this does but you can use it like a car not to mention better Interior with standard turn signals.
Its all about application...
Radials
?
Hell, might as well use my pick up ....you could buy a good work truck for the price of a new one of these.
Good point, but would you be able to take a pickup where you could take a Gator?
Chery engine? U got to be kidding me. Nty.
Anne Diche this engine is very dependable
Same engine John Deere has been using for many many years and has proven to be a very good one!
That’s a really bad place to put the air cleaner ( way to low and behind a tire). Italian engines aren’t known to reliable. John Deere, what were you thinking
Don't know if it's a good thing, but Cherri engines are made in China; not Italy. I have confidence in JD.
I misspoke they are not an Italian engine and John Deere has had great luck with these engines for many years now!
Polaris Ranger is better it has Hvac also on Northstar edition
This model has HVAC as well! Thank you for watching!
I test drove a Polaris with AC, it didn’t cool near as well as the JD. I live in south Louisiana and I stay cool with the driver window down and the AC on low. Polaris couldn’t do that. Maybe they improved it in year 2021?
What no beer holder hell no.
We actually show at 17:10 that there are 3 beverage holders on the passenger side. There is also one on the drivers side up in the dash and in each door. Thank you for watching!
25,000 plus no thanks I'd buy a jeep first
Fair enough, just keep in mind this pricing is competitive with other similar XUV's in other brands.
Kabota RTV 900
John Deere 835R
Go buy a Suzuki samurai for a few thousand and it's just about the same
I don't know about that. I don't think you're going to fit a sprayer in that Samurai and be able to use it.
cheri engines are china
Yes, I misspoke in the video. You are correct!
I was ready to jump till I saw a Chinese engine. Why didn't you use the Yanmar like you use in everything else that,s small ??
Good question, but let me assure you these Chinese engines are nothing to shrug at!
The 865R has the yanmar
@@WesternEquipment I have the 2014 model Gator with this engine, it has preformed well these past 6 years. No issues with it at all.
Just buy you a little pickup 4+4 and forget about all the bullshit
Could you take that little pickup where this would go?
12 grand ranger vs 24 grand John Deere I believe I’ll stick with my ranger
Ryan Gan does your Ranger have all the same features and options of the 835R ... I think not
The top end Rangers are similar in price, maybe a bit higher. Why the hell would you compare the price of your base model?
Lets compare apples to apples here!
Wow, A/C and heat on a side by side. I could just get a used Jeep. Smh
Would have been cheaper.
Could have! You have to admit this is a nice unit!
kubuta rtv model is cheaper and durable than this one... trust me i worked with both
How about a 5600 toolcat?
Eh, i have done things in both and there is an application for both for sure!
The plastic makes it look cheap
Which plastic?
👎👎👎👎👎
Woops! Your thumbs are upside down!
Really?! People love them? REEEALLY???? So I’ve had my 835M W/HVAC now for almost three months. Used almost every weekday. I would not buy again. I spent good money to have a great cab to protect my employees from the elements. The rear tires throw mud all over the rear and side of the cab COVERING the air cleaner and fuel cap, doors and door handles. This is HORSE SHIT. This is pushed as a work vehicle. No way !! If it didn’t have a cab you would be covered. Sure fun for a few hours on the weekend but for a daily use - NO FRIGGIN WAY. Notice ALL the Deere footage on CZcams is dry footage. So what really worries me is that if something so obvious wasn’t identified in testing what else was missed. This appears to be rushed to market.
Ehh I checked your website. You’re in OK, NM, and TX pretty dry areas. Your customers prolly not exposed to as much mud as here in PA. especially this year. I need to bitch to my local dealer.
I hate that you're having such a rough experience with your gator. I hope other than the mud that you like everything else about it. John Deere does make a rear fender flare attachment kit for this machine which should help with this issue and if so we would love to hear back from you. Thanks for watching!
@@WesternEquipment So I've personally been using this for a couple weeks during the cold spell we had. At -12 def F and running around at 20MPH you can do it in a T-shirt if you wanted to. No problem. I makes great heat. I was sneaking back the the Gator pretty regularly to get warm. So I've kinda warmed up the the 835. I also ran it through some terrain that I never thought it would go through. Would make a nice video, but I'm not doing it again.
It seems like we aren’t carrying the camera when we need it. Keep us posted on your gator experience.
Dude, it must be your day. This POS has nothing on kubota. We have both this mess of a JD and the Kubota 500. This machine (pile of shit) will not hold up. This 500 has had nothing but service. OMG, what happened to Deere? Really man, how can you say this? Have you been on a Kubota ? I think not.
I actually have been in both. Depends on your application. Hydrostat transmission is good for some things but not all.
John deers are they worst utv and heavy equipment... Please don't buy one of these, you will regret it!
Wow, straight to the gut! I think this is a bit dramatic!
@@WesternEquipment sorry I didn't guzzled the green koolaid.
Omg people do not buy them thay are to much money not as good as jeep
You can go down atv trails with your Jeep? You put a utv sprayer with boom assembly in a Jeep? Do you do your RTK field boundary mapping with your Jeep?
Game, set, match! But in all seriousness these are great points to consider!
I LOVED IT
Thanks!
