Recreational uses for Gators

Hunting

Planning on walking your equipment to the tree stand? I don't think so. With a Gator, you have the storage capacity for hauling everything you need - plus the versatility to get through tight spaces and across all types of terrain. Once you've taken down the big one, you can load it up and bring your trophy home.

Camping

Planning a camping trip for you and a few buddies? You're gonna need some space for everything. John Deere Crossover Series Gators have a cargo capacity of 500-1,000 lbs and come in 2-4 passenger options. Attach a front hood rack for extra storage if you need it and use the under-seat storage on Full-Size XUV Series Gators for storing food and drinks. Add a light kit so you don't get caught in the dark without a campfire.

Trail Riding

Everyone loves going fast and getting dirty every once in a while. Whether you're going mudding with some friends or taking the kids out on the trails, Crossover Series Gators are ready to handle it. The Crossover Series comes in 2, 3 or 4 passenger models and has top speeds ranging from 28-45+ mph. Want a cab so you can ride in comfort? Check out these Full-Size models: XUV835M, XUV835M HVAC, XUV835R, XUV865M, XUV865M HVAC, and XUV865R.

Work uses for Gators

Towing/Hauling

Need to move something from point A to point B? Gators have the cargo and towing capacity to move almost anything. With a Full-Size XUV Gator, you'll get up to 2,000 lbs of towing capacity. If efficiency is important to you, we have some attachments that will save time and energy. Tow more with a hitch and cart or add a hydraulic cargo box to unload with the push of a button. Gators have tons of options for easing the load. The possibilities are endless.

Removing stumps and fallen trees

With the towing capabilities of a Gator, dealing with stumps and trees is easy. Hitch up a chain and tug away or add a Warn winch for even more pulling capacity and versatility.

Building fences

Have a large property that needs to be fenced in? Haul your tools and fence posts across any terrain with a John Deere Gator.

Spreading dirt and gravel

You don't need a tractor to spread dirt or gravel. Add a front-end blade to your Gator and you'll have a fresh new driveway in no time.

Spraying/spreading

Whether you're spraying weeds or spreading fertilizer, Gators have the attachments for the job. With a tow-behind or bed sprayer, you can spray an entire field without ever leaving the cab. Add a spreader to salt your driveway and walkways or fertilize a field.
