John Deere Gator XUV 825i

    1 Review

    The John Deere Gator XUV 825i 4×4 utility vehicle is a big step up from the John Deere Gator XUV 625i utility vehicle. The most noticeable thing is that the engine on the JD XUV825i is much more powerful, providing 50 hp from a 4 stroke, electronic fuel injection engine. This 3 cylinder engine is liquid cooled and has a fully pressurized lubrication system to keep the moving parts properly oiled which helps to prevent excessive wear. A dry type, single element air filter purifies the air intake and removes any dust particles that might be present. The 12 volt battery provides the engine with 340 cold cranking amps and is recharged by a 75 amp alternator.

    The battery on the John Deere Gator XUV 825i also powers the 2 (one on each front corner) halogen headlights, which allows you to operate this 4×4 utility vehicle in the dark with ease. The fuel tank on the JD XUV825i can hold up to 20.1 liters (5.3 US gallons) of fuel. When running on half load, the fuel consumption runs at 2.65 liters per hour, which means that you should get at least 6 hours runtime from it (provided you aren’t going flat out). Power from the engine gets to the wheels through a continuously variable transmission that gives the JD XUV 825i infinite speeds over 2 ranges (Hi & Lo). It’s top speed is 71 kph (44 mph) in Hi gear.

    As the John Deere Gator XUV 825i 4×4 utility vehicle is so fast, it’s a good thing that it has a quality occupant protection system. This includes a roll cage made from welded 1.75 inch steel tubing. There is a passenger grab handle and 3 point seat belts to keep the occupants from falling out of the machine in the event of a crash. If you are looking for something similar but with half the power, then the John Deere Gator XUV 855D may be appealing to you.

    One Review of the “John Deere Gator XUV 825i”

      I am completely satified with the 825i Gator. It does everything I need or want it to, is stable on our very hilly terrain here in southern Indiana and has an abundance of power. My wife loves to use it around our property and we also use it at our church. We have a FEMA certified emergency response team at our church and the Gator also doubles as our rescue vehicle and will pull our trailer cross country if needed.

      Not for everyone, but for me, it is now the only choice.

      Year of Manufacture: 2012
      Pros: The 825i Gator is a perfect fit for me. There are some key reasons for this. I enjoy riding off road and have for years. I have owned many other brand off highway vehicles and like them all. A total of over 15,000 miles of off road travels has provided some good experience and a good perspective. the Gator is probably not for everyone. It isn’t the fastest, nor the most stylish, but it is a great blend of everything needed to go off road and, work. The Gator will out work, or hold it’s own with any other brand and, the quality of workmanship and material is second to none. Other manufacturers cut costs by using inferior parts such as brake rotors, brake pads, wheel bearings, shocks, etc. The Gator is built like a rock. I like the Polaris Ranger and it was my second choice when I purchased the Gator. The deciding factor fo me was without hesitation, quality and the Gator is at the top of this list here. Ride comfort is execellent and stability is second to none. I use the Gator to plow snow, haul wood, lawn debris, and my dogs as well as everything needed to travel the U.P. of Michigan, or wherever our travels take us, and log over 100 miles a day on trails. The price is also very competitive, it was a no brainer for me.
      Cons: So far, 400+ trouble free miles.

      Power steering might be a nice option however, the manual steering is very easy and turning radius is exceptional.

      My only complaint, the clutch will disengage on slow downhill sections and you are left with no engine braking. The good is, the Gator brakes are excelent and strong and should serve for many hours or miles.
      Attachments: Olive green

      wrap around protection package for body protection.
