2011 John Deere Gator™ XUV 4x4 825i

after one year the gas gauge stopped working. Only had 22 hours on the vehicle. Had to pay for a new one.

After 164 hours the clutch/transmission went out, which is today. I understand this costs around 4 or 5 hundred to repair. I also heard is is a defect many owners have experienced.

Just wanted to say it is great on our farm. We use it every day We have cattle and I just don't know what I would do with out it. Great job

Ours had a grinding noise in the front differential (read about this problem before we test drove one) and the dealer replaced a defective pinion (a known problem from the factory on 2011 825i machines) and the noise disappeared. It shifts hard in 4WD, but so far, I have been unable to get it stuck. ... Pulls a 1000 pound bale of hay through the mud and snow like it isn't even back there.

I recently purchased a new Gator 825i and I must say I am very impressed. I ran it over some very deep ruts at 30 MPH and I did not even feel them. John Deere has put together probably the best all around utility and sport package of all of the "working" side by side class out there. I have driven ... the Rhino's and Rangers, and pound for pound, the XUV 825i serves my ranching and fun time needs perfectly.
