Precision ag technologies have changed the way we farm, and John Deere has been at the forefront of that change. Adding the GreenStar™ ready or AutoTrac™ ready option to a Gator Utility Vehicle brings precision ag technology to farms of all sizes.

Establish boundary maps with GreenStar ready option

The GreenStar ready option provides a basic precision ag technology solution enabling you to utilize the vehicle’s fast speed, light weight, and nimbleness to establish boundary lines, even when the soil is too wet for larger equipment.

 

The GreenStar ready option code includes factory-installed components:

• Roof mount for a StarFire receiver
• Pivoting bracket for universal display
• Integrated wiring harnesses

A StarFire receiver and universal display are required and can be installed year-round or shared with another piece of equipment.

 

The GreenStar ready option also requires a JDLink™ modem to connect your utility vehicle to the John Deere Operations Center:

• Track the current and past locations of your utility vehicle with the rest of your fleet.
• Wirelessly send your data to and from your vehicle without the hassle and delay of USB drives.
• Enables a tractor operator to flag the exact location of a large rock so the utility vehicle can be sent to the location to remove the hazard.
• Track productivity, maintenance, and machine vitals.
• Plan ahead for scheduled maintenance.

AutoTrac ready option enables hands-free steering

Bring another level of productivity to your farm by adding an AutoTrac assisted steering system to your Gator Utility Vehicle. In addition to the benefits of the GreenStar ready, the AutoTrac ready option enables hands-free steering and includes an ISO implement connector.

 

Stop waiting for the perfect day to spray

• Get a head start by pairing your Gator Utility Vehicle with a tow-behind sprayer. The vehicle’s light weight enables you to spray, even when the ground is too wet for larger equipment.
• Hands-free steering navigates predefined paths around buildings and fence rows while minimizing overlap, input costs, and operator fatigue.
• The ISO implement connector connects the vehicle to a John Deere Rate Controller which continuously adjusts the flow rate to the vehicle speed.
• Section control shuts off portions of the boom as needed to further minimize overlap and reduce input costs.

Improve soil mapping

• The days of picking a tree across the field to navigate are over. Use guidance lines to create a sampling grid and let your Gator Utility Vehicle keep you on track as you pull plugs across the field.

Checkout your boundaries to reduce planting hassles

• Ride along as the vehicle drives the boundaries and make sure they are ready for the planter.
• Identify and flag obstacles so they can be removed.

AutoPath™ delivers guidance planning efficiency

Enhance your basic AutoTrac assisted steering system with AutoPath. AutoPath transforms farming operations by providing precise, automated guidance for the entire field, regardless of the season or crop type. With AutoPath, you can expect improved productivity, higher yields, and overall greater operational efficiency.

 

AutoPath plans can be generated in one of two ways:

• From exact row crop data captured in a source operation
• From a precise, driven field boundary using SF3 or higher correction signal

Gator utility vehicles can use AutoPath (rows) to steer themselves accurately between planted crop rows, preventing crop damage. This enables the driver to work quicker and more efficiently while concentrating on field tasks such as spot spraying, crop, rock, or pest scouting, even before emergence.

Utilize a Gator Utility Vehicle’s fast speed, light weight, and agility to drive around and map the perimeter of your fields. This can be done in conjunction with a StarFire Receiver and Gen 4 or G5 display. These accurate and robust boundaries can support AutoPath (boundaries) plans and autonomy in the future. Once the field boundary is established and an AutoPath plan is created with reference to the boundary using the Operations Center or within the display, Gators can efficiently navigate the entire field, reaping the same benefits mentioned earlier.

Receiver locking bracket

The optional receiver locking bracket provides protection from against theft or tampering by securing the receiver using a 15.875-mm (5/8-in.) lockable receiver hitch pin (sold separately).

The large cargo box on full-size Gator XUVs has a 454 kg (1000 lb) capacity so you can bring your gear, tools, and haul materials with confidence. You can also make fewer trips with 1814 kg (4000 lb) of towing capacity and a standard 51-mm (2-in.) receiver hitch.

Class-leading cargo box volume*

The cargo box resists dents, scratches, and rust because it is made from a tough composite material and can haul 524-L (18.5-cu ft) of your gear and material. Five D-ring tie down points and rails can be used to secure your load.

Quickly configure the cargo box to the needs of the job

Molding the cargo box allows for built-in features that enable the box to be quickly reconfigured for the unique needs of every job. You can use standard 5-cm (2-in.) dimensional lumber to hold cargo in place or divide cargo box into separate areas. You can add a second level of storage space by leveraging the tiered storage lip. Stake pocket clamps allows for quick and toolless attachment installation and removal. On M-trim and R-trim vehicles, a 12-V power port is available to power attachments.

Your portable workbench

The tailgate includes a flat work surface, ruler, and pockets to place hardware. A v-channel and four reinforced clamping pockets work together to securely hold round objects. Bump stops provide raised edges position your square edged objects.

 

Since your hands are always full, the tailgate can be opened and closed with one hand. You can also lower the tailgate to carry longer items or remove it for easy cleanout.

Power lift

To save your back, the optional cargo box power lift empties heavy loads with the push of a button.

 

*Class is defined as a full-size heavy-duty crossover UTV with less than 100-in. wheelbase which is powered by a 750 to 900cc gasoline engine. Comparisons were made by calculating volume using published cargo box dimensions.

The XUV 845 and XUV825M S4 Gator™ Utility Vehicles are powered by an electronic fuel injection (EFI) gasoline engine with liquid-cooled, dual-overhead cams. This engine is designed to provide maximum power and fuel efficiency to muscle through tough jobs.

 

It also has plenty of torque in low range, and fast speeds in high range. The enclosed drivetrain automatically adjusts for fast acceleration, along with powerful hauling and hill-climbing capabilities.

One-row full-size Gator XUVs come packed with places to store tools, gear, and beverages.

Cup holders

The dash has four cup holders, and cab vehicles have a cup holder in each door.

Dash and under-seat storage

The vehicles also feature an enclosed glove box, center tray, dash storage pocket and under-seat storage. Depending on the configuration, vehicles may have up to three additional dash bins and under-hood storage.

You will get noticed with the distinctive styling of full-size Gator™ XUVs. Available in three colors, with various protection packages, and more than 100 attachments, you can create a custom look that will turn heads.
