That's very crazy , cost more than my house, why so much money are the rims made of gold or other parts of it , why just why

The service guy at his John Deere dealership is salivating

Way over priced with empty switches to remind you what is not standard! I guess you pay 10 grand for heat and air!

💥 I can’t understand why anyone would pay so much for that . You really don’t get that much. *Keep on tractoring!* 👍

Just about a week ago I saw your video 3 years ago reviewing a gator, because we are buying one. That video helped a lot and that is when I subscribed.

My wheelchair came in camo and since I’m not able to go hunting anymore I’ve been thinking about getting it painted in John Deere colors.

That’s more than my pick up 😭

We have a similar Gator. ...the 835M HVAC. We find the gasoline powered version (835 vs. 865) to be much more 'peppy'. The M is much louder than the R due to lack of insulation material in the cab. In either case, we really like the machine. Thanks for the review.

Awh I won't be owning that But it is pretty! I'm a poor Farmer!

It's about time you stepped up to a "REAL" UTV. We have an 855D that we bought fully loaded in 2016, and it just won't stop, and that is being used hard on a ranch daily. Congrats!

35k no radio????? lol

The first time you said 35K I thought I had heard wrong. The second time you said 35K I thought I’d heard wrong. The third time you said 35K......Well you get the picture. Now I really know what they mean when they say John Deere Green $$$$

$35K ! No way José…

That is designed for the gentleman farmer with discerning taste. Lol👍🏻

In the winter when dudes plowing snow in his dry, heated cab, 35k will be money well spent. Buy once cry once.

Very nice job Josh. I love your information video reviews. Keep up the good work!

$35,000 for a Rubbermaid garden shed on wheels, and it doesn't even have a radio. Hell, my car cost that much :(

You can buy a new Ford F150 for under $30,000 and a new Ford F150 for over $80,000. You get what you pay for. All brands have the top and bottom in the same model.

We just purchased one of these for our team and used this video as our training video. Very well done!!!

I have the XUV 835R, the gas model, it has everything but a radio. The heat is great, the AC is absolutely fantastic. I’ve had it for two years now and the AC will freeze you out. I live in south Louisiana so you know it’s working. It has a cabin filter and a pressurized cab to keep the dust out. I have the wench, the front work lights, the rear work lights, the turn signals, the hazard flashers, the horn, windshield washer/wipers, the electric/hydraulic dump bead, the bumpers front and rear, camouflage exterior and black alloy rims with nice mud grip tires. It has an 85 amp alternator to power all the electrical demand you can use and I added a 1100 watt inverter to power 120 volt power tools like drills small compressor etc. I like he way the doors open, unlike the ranger suicide doors. Makes getting in and out a lot easier, also the fear or them opening when trailering down the interstate to the hunting lease and them flying open and destroying them is gone. The windshield opening is convenient and there is a detent that will allow you to open the windshield an inch or so for fresh air on those days during spring or fall when you don’t need the AC or the heat. I did some shopping when I bought mine and compared the Kubota, Polaris, Bobcat and CanAm. With all the same equipment the Deere was the best price at $24650. Yes, still a lot of money but I’m retired and that’s what I wanted. I’ve had no problems with it and it’s never been stuck. No I don’t go through 3 feet of water with it. That’s not what I bought it for. No regrets on purchasing it. Thanks for checking out my comments.

I have a 2019 Honda Pioneer 700 Deluxe and I love it about $13,000 but worth every penny if you ask me

An old Toyota four-wheel-drive it’s pretty cheap and I can drive it to town when I need to.

I can’t think of any reason to spend 35 grand on a Gator, but I’m sure there is. You would have to run it 24/7 to make it pay out. Or you have more money than you need and want to show off.

I think the prices of utility vehicles are out of control industry wide and this 9ne is absurd

I paid $23K for the 2019 835 M with lots of extras, winch, mirrors, front rack, side tool racks, back window guard, work lights,etc.

Built in horicon wisconsin. Plant is 5 minutes from our farm. By brother works on the gator line

Thanks for the vid! It’s always nice to see how the other half lives. :-)

check out a bobcat toolcat. I have had one for 8 years and it's got everything that the gator has and more. You can actually do work with it. Just saying.

Just priced a gas one with no cab in Estevan Saskatchewan and it's almost 30 grand. Couldn't imagine what a diesel with cab is worth here

UTV prices are absolutely insane... which is why Ill be building my own buggy. I really don't understand these big brands' race to the top price war they got going on. You know the markup on these things is criminal and is ultimately gonna probably lead to their demise as people figure this out.

Spent 6 grand on a 2004 Suzuki carry with 5000km 8yr. ago. 600cc gas 3 banger, 4x4 hi-lo diff and axel lock. AM radio, heat a/c, 4’x6’ bed with 800kg capacity. Search Japanese mini truck.

Josh loves the Gator. 🐊 Agree, if you have the money, buy one. Why not. Woooo! ❤️🇺🇸

Awesome video, awesome machine, I just can’t believe they cost more than a good used pickup nowadays. Heck we oughta be able to just tag em and drive em on the road lol

Glad you wore a matching color hat cause you need a lot of green for that toy Woooooo

i'd rather buy either 10 used ranger pick ups or about 10 good used Jeep YJ's.

Now I want one. But we can't even afford a 6,000 dollar side-by-side.

I’m happy for your neighbor, very nice. If you want one and can afford it, I say go for it, America baby!

There is for sure a reason to have a side by side. If you have new babies out in the pasture and you run over a leg of one in tall grass, it is better with a lighter side by side than a Jeep or pickup. That being said, I think picking and choosing which options are needed vs nice to have is a very personal decision for each buyer.

You all must be very rich 35K is a lot for a 4 wheeler with a bed may be $3,500.00 I don't care if it was solid gold. You said 10K cheaper I say 33K cheaper can't even drive on road too slow. Thanks for sharing God bless you all.

It’s nice but it’ll be collecting dust at the dealership waiting on me to buy it 😆

Great video as always.

I like how the gear shifter is set up. If you have a middle passanger that is the same size as you are, the shifter is not up in your knees.

In my opinion you are just buying the name when it comes to John Deere and you are going to really cry when it comes to buying parts because you can only buy the parts from them at twice the costs. There are a lot of better options out there that are better quality and and at a lot better price.

Love my '17 825i with the German made DeLuxe cab with heat, wiper... Everything except the radio. 11,000 miles and 700 hours. Love the full glass door cab. Looks like a Bell helicopter🤣Salt roads in New Hampshire are not your friend. Exhaust system desolves in 3 years. 46 mph top speed 👍

Beautiful setup Went with the earring protection work tunes you suggested. Two day’s in, one of the best purchases in a long time. Keep what’s left of my hearing! What?!!

I think you’re right about a few things but I still think the price is crazy even if they did it. They should be having all those extra lights in there, especially on the front and the back of the top of the cab. 35 grand is just ridiculous and typical John Deere pricing, like their $200 electric drills that are the same as the $90 ones everyone else sells. Don’t get me wrong I love John Deere but they’re not exactly economical on a lot of things.

I have a 2019 835M, gas engine in Olive Drab/Flat Black with black wheels. I have tool racks on the sides of the bed which work great, carry weed eater and pole saw and long handle tools. I have a front rack, very useful. Been a great machine, especially on those cold and rainy days.

We just picked ours up before thanksgiving and man let me tell you it is nice and well worth it. We love it

Josh the only reason for the shift handle to be backward is that if someone is sitting in the middle so there leg would not hit it when in drive.

Nice ride! My thought on the shift pattern is sticking straight out it interferes with room or steering. All the way up to go forward is out of the way. That's how Polaris is too.

Great video alot of effort and great review you have covered everything you could cover

I've got an 835R... bought in July 2019... added turn signals and side mirrors... gas model ... has exactly absolutely everything you're showing except the tool box. Has a little over 200 hours and over 2,000 miles and the farther we've driven away from the farm is 16 miles away. But we give our Border Collie a "ride" almost every day. He thinks it's HIS GATOR.... LOL! .... Love it! Replaced one truck on the farm.... Only down side is the tires... Getting new ones next week (on order)...not buying the same...they don't wear worth a darn. Expect the right front to wear in the middle of the tire... My dealer said, "right front, right?" I said, "Yep" He said, "They all do" ...but he didn't know why. Things must be more expensive where you live. I paid $27,500 for mine! Yes, I bought it brand new!

Wow bro! That is nice looking rig. I may buy a truck instead at that price point though. Thanks for showing us that bad boy!

We’re building one right now for about 40. Every bell whistle and about 30 leds.

I’d like to see an auxiliary fuel tank in the empty space between the cab and tool box. I feel that it would be a great use of space and you wouldn’t need to fuel up for a very very long time.

Have 2012 gator and it has been through a tornado, hit trees, and been on its side. Good machines

Hi.... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍

35k, especially with hvac and digital cluster it should have had electric windows and a hood that opened like a vehicles from the front via a simple latch setup especially since it looks like it would interfere with the way the window opens outward in the front as it is. Also agree 100% on the shifter - completely backwards :)

As far as that hood goes, I'd like to see if first hand, but hard rigid plastic cracks way to easy and if that will be more resistant to cracking/breaking I wouldn't mind it. The side tabs made of rubber should be ok. My '05 Yamaha Rhino hood tabs are still going strong, same type of material.

Buy it! You can write it off as an expense for your farm! You only live once and your wife will love it!!!!!

looks awesome. if it doesn’t break the bank, have at it!

James River Equipment or Quality Equipment. Paying for the name and the green paint

We are going on two years on ours we absolutely love it we gave 25,000 for it the AC and heat works awesome

That gator cost more then a 200hp Can Am Maverick X3 with 22 inches of suspension travel😶

I’m surprised seats are not weather proof. Looks pretty sweet. I bet for half that cost you could custom build a kick butt 4x4 Suzuki Samurai. Needs more lights for sure. Would love a follow up after he’s done with it.

FYI all you need to bypass the seat belt alarm and safety is a seat belt extender from any auto parts store about $15. It also helps if your a little bigger. It connects right in regular spot and seat belt connects in extension.

I do this with bass boats. I do it with bass boats because I have a passion for Fishing. I don't have the same passion for a utv. My utv is half this price which works for me. I tip my hat to you if that's what you want to do. Hope you enjoy the JD.

Hey josh I love the bloopers that are in the vids man their great 👍 keep them going

Great video...I just ordered one and mine is going to be olive and black for the color. Had to pay a little more for that but I like it. I am also getting it with the works...Can't wait! Have fun...

The folks who blow money like this probably inherited it. No one who actually worked and sweated for their money would blow it like this.

I'm dreaming of an empty check book

Here it is 2 years later and and the price of Side by Sides today is crazy. Polaris Crew Cab Expeditions are pushing $50k now. Crazy.

as cheap as radios/bluetooth are now a days, JD should of definitely included some sort of stereo, especially at $35k

It’s really great to see you having fun!! But 30K? I reckon that depends on how much money you have that you don’t need. Last year was different but this year I think spending money ( on things that you will use) is a better idea than trying to save cash. Cash will continue to lose value as this stimulus crap continues. Much love 👍🏻

Now that’s a Gater! Wish’n I had me one of dem!

We have this unit with all available options including front and rear LED work lights, VBoss snow plow, winch, satellite radio, etc. Had the KubotaRTV for years and this thing blows it away. Built like a tank with plenty of diesel power/torque. We use it for tasks all four seasons in Michigan.

Whew that thing has everything that a Cadillac has. I dont have a Cadillac though. I just look over at the dog and the cluttered floor board of my 12 year old truck and think if I get something new i will have to move all that stuff. Got over being in a hurry years ago, might be why I dont need a winch on the front of the truck, if its that muddy I walk and its usually not crowded when you walk in the mud. Kind of enjoy the quite.

Wow! Nice Machine!

For 35k, I would think little things like auxiliary lighting would be standard. For 35k, I would expect it to loaded to the hilt. For less than 35k, you could get a decent used pick up with money leftover to upgrade the suspension for off roading on the farm. Just my opinion, but some people will buy anything with that expensive green color "molded" on it.

the shift lever is backwards because of safety with it in drive the lever is up where it shouldn't pierce anyone when you hit something

I'm not a farmer - however I am a quilter. So much better to work with a great machine than a cheap one.

I Love how your hat is the same colour as the gator x Im a woman and cant drive but that thing has no horn oh goodness xx Wooooo xx

Good for your neighbor that sure looks like an awesome machine personally I’ll stick with my can am defender

That was a honest review.I think they should have a longer bed, for it is used for work and where in that short bed can you put a load of wood etc. The cvt transmission was also used in the nissan Rouge and now the ford ranger. They where having trouble with them in the nissan rouge and never fixed the issues.Thoes belts do go out and expencive to replace.They do not last no ware near as long as a reg.transmissions.

Has one of my coils in it. I build the heating coil for the company that builds the heater unit.

Must be nice enjoy

Shifter seems to be designed that way to give more passenger space..

I have a 2022 gator and really like it but I have to agree with you about gear positions. That is the first thing that I mentioned to my wife when it was delivered. Mine Is a gas model and although I did upgrade considerably from the base model I was far short of the 32K. Plenty of storage space and is far superior to the Cub Cadet that I owned previously. Very pleased with it over all.

I'd have given you a heck of a deal on a slightly used 2020 865r 😂 Looks like the 2021 has some nice improvements. Enjoy!

Whooooo! Now that's a gator right there.

Hell ya at that price point I paid less then 20 for ac , heat. Power windows. Cloth seats???? Lmao modern day farmer for sure

Aluminum foil tape, like you use on HVAC systems, holding the hood together and bungee cords holding it down. Five years from now? I think sooner.

I bet the Kubota would win a tuggawar with that Gator. But the Kubota would have to catch it first.

Wow that is a nice machine. Sweet. I pretty much like everything except the price. Cool video Josh. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️

Wow. That's a lot. I'm now one of those old guys that doesn't get prices anymore. It looks pretty-derned cool, though!

My 2016 gator has the same rubber hood latches and at 5 yrs they are still good as new.

I have a 20 something foot bubba rope and it works great, like a big rubber band doesn’t hurt the stuff it’s hooked up to

Litterally shows up in some sort of Dr. Suess shoe car and says "Aight Wooh!" The whole time.

The John Deere Gator (This one) looks REALLY awesome!!

Pretty slick unit. I'd like to see it do some real work. Bobcat makes the toolcat. Basically a glorified gator that you can put attachments on. I think for that kind of money I'd be looking more in that direction
