Side-by-side UTVs can range from small, mid-size options up to full-size. UTVs are designed to handle off-road situations like mud, rough terrain, sand, or dirt. Side-by-side UTVs offer a comfortable and safe riding experience while providing storage space and towing capacity to assist in various tasks and activities.

John Deere offers a wide range of side-by-side UTVs, each designed for specific applications and user requirements.

Traditional UTVs

The John Deere traditional UTVs are known for their ruggedness and durability.

A powerful engine and robust suspension system allow traditional UTV models to easily handle rough terrains. Examples of traditional Gator models are TH 6x4 diesel or gas.

Work Series UTVs

When it comes to heavy-duty tasks, the John Deere line of work series UTVs is built to withstand tough work environments while providing superior hauling and towing capabilities.

Some of the Gator models in the work series include the HPX615E and the HPX815E.

The John Deere mid-size UTV lineup offers a balance between power and agility. Mid-size Gator models are designed to navigate narrow trails, perform various tasks around the property, or cross hilly terrains. Their combination of maneuverability, comfort, and versatility make the mid-size Gators popular for homeowners, recreational users, and outdoor enthusiasts.

The two-passenger models offer a 900-lb payload capacity with a 1,500-lb towing capacity. If you need more space and payload capacity, the 4-passenger models offer a 1,300-lb payload capacity and can fit four passengers or additional cargo space by flipping down the rear seat. The John Deere XUV560E and XUV590E models are examples of mid-side UTVs.
