#89 John Deere Gator 835M, 835R And Can Am Defender Limited, Cab SXS Test Drives 

I’m glad you like the jd, my brother does also. No issues with my defender so far, not fun when their down. I need to do an update on my brothers.

Btw thank you for commenting stay safe 🙂

Thank you very much. Unfortunately Polaris’s do have a bark, but I believe eventually government sound restrictions will tighten, one of our ride locations is using a sound meter. Thank you for watching and commenting 😊

Excellent observation, you buy who you feel comfortable with...farmers are comfortable with the dealer they buy their tractors from. My jd dealer is so nice. My brother loves that gator fills it with kids and drives it around his property. You made my night thank you for appreciating the video.🙂

Chris Beekley my brother likes it...quality is relative but you know the Machine better than I. Thank for commenting 🙂

Chris Beekley I made someone laugh 😆

Jerry my brother loves his stay warm 🙂

Make a. Video of her self

Definitely not enough speed 4 me though

It needs a Whipple blower!

You are correct, i should've checked the spec...thank you

Justin D I would agree, they go above and beyond and stop short at small details like the doors😊

screekf350 exactly it’s about clinging to your youth. Awesome comment thank you 😊

My brother loves the cab, he agrees. You have real world work experience, thank you for sharing. Stay healthy and well 😊

@@maraudermitchelliThis was a long weekend so I picked up the 835 and the Ranger to clean them off a little. The ranger is a 900 cab and soft doors. To give readers and idea the Ranger in low range is almost as fast as the 835 in high range. But I don't think its a hp issue. I think the Gator feels like it's just lower geared. So throwing more horsepower without increasing the available wheel speed and how the clutch hooks up I don't think would do much, and might just make it a little less drivable around the farm. I'm not really sure the 835 IS a crossover UTV. Remember it's WIDE. Like 65-66 inches WITHOUT mirrors or anything. And the cab has straight walls on the side. So the Gator is a little over a year and a half old with 1500 hours and the Ranger is almost new at 215 hours. The 835 cab is a lot nicer. NOW something to consider after cleaning them myself I can tell you I really appreciate the smooth(er) dash and cab of the 835 compared to the Ranger. The 835 is much easier to clean up. The Horses butts were driving the 835 around in the mud with the windows down and the front windshield up. OH one more thing I left the roll of paper towels on the dash of the Ranger and it rained overnight. It was soaked the next morning. That would never happen in the Gator. But again, the performance of the Ranger is VASTLY different than the Gator. So you can be rolling like 5MPH on a dirt road and floor it and it'll slide sideways trying to take off. The Gator just isn't going to do that. I think the 835 sits pretty much between a Kubota RTV and the Ranger/Can AM/Mule(maybe). I've rented the RTVs they just don't have enough wheel speed for even a little mud or hill climb. The 835 has much better wheel speed but you're not going to do a full whiskey throttle, high speed, four wheel, total wound out, tire burning climb up a rock face like you see some people do on some videos. For what it might be worth to you I have an 835M with the headliner. It makes the M series feel much more refined. That might be a nice selling feature. It's a big jump from an 835M to an 835R. I'm considering tracks for the Gator. One last thing I almost forgot the Gator feels 100% more stable on a side hill than the Ranger. I drive the gator around my septic mound to get to the pole barn and I felt like I shouldn't be doing that in the Ranger. It did it, but it didn't "feel" the same. I can let my kids drive the Gator around my house and yard and not worry too much about either. If I let them run around in the Ranger I wouldn't have a yard! Take care from NE PA.

Elkmonger my brother loves his gator, jd says they it runs at a higher rpm to cool the transmission. If owned 8 sxs, 3 utvs, they all have impressed me. I will probably get a cab defender in the next several years, as of now I love my defender. Check out some of my defender videos. Email me a picture of your utvs to maraudermitchelli@gmail.com 😊

I believe that for work the gator would be stronger like a Kubota. My brother loves his gator I have to do a follow up gator video. Stay safe 🙂

Todd Reed it’s not a rock crawling mud machine like yours...the two of you think alike. 😊

Pat Papaleo yes he does 😉

Thanks Keith, he loves it. Pat has been watching every Gator 835 video he can. Happy New Years.

were looking at a kubota rtv with the big dump box

@@michaelmactavish1728 ...does it have the hydro transmission? It slow but a powerhouse if it does. Top speed 25mph

@@maraudermitchelli yeah they have hydrostatic transmission on there diesels and gas rtvs plus the side kick is 48hp goes 36mph and diesels goes 28 mph wich pretty fast plus they come with enclosed factory heated and ac cabs options plus it can run the kubota compact tractors impellements and can aslso adapt a rear pto 3point hitch as well as an option

@@michaelmactavish1728 I road in a Kubota sxs in 2005 it was an iron tank. They are not as quick as the other brands but they are built extremely strong, and those transmissions are proven. I bought a grand L tractor for work and i can't keep my guys off it. Good luck with your machine i'm sure it will be great!

Awesome, not my pick but he loves it. I'm a fan of yours, but you know. Happy New Years.

Marauder Mitchelli All that matters is that he loves it. Same goes for you. Try to keep an eye out on new uploads when you have them 😎 Especially when the tractor comes out to play!

@@NorthCountryBoyz we could sell ya all our deere tractors and combine and all the deere equipment and new holland too if they wanted because we just gave up buying deeres and newhollands and were going all kubotas and case equipment

Michael Mac Tavish If only that powerball would hit....if only I played the powerball...I would have an adult sized playground of toys all painted green 😎

Gator B I don’t think that unit is available with a cab with heat and ac. He wanted a full cab with comfort controls. I h are that model has an Italian engine and is pretty hot. Happy New Years 😊

Thomas you must own this machine you are very passionate about it...that's awesome! My brother loves his machine, i have to do an update video he's added many accessories. So you know I'm a John Deere tractor guy, my channel started when i purchased my 3046R...so i once thought that I bled green. I've owned 6 JD tractors over the last 30 years. There are so many great machines on the market today. Please don't get upset over my opinion...it can change anytime. I do not like Honda...i owned several but i drove a Talon and was so amazed by the geared transmission...no cvt. Don't ever hesitate to disagree with me and comment. Thank you my brother loves his machine.

Carolyn Casilio I have no idea who you are but I love you 😘

I like Can Am for now

Pat Papaleo hi pat he works in our business, he researched the heck out of the John Deere. Happy New Years 😊

Jim Ronchetto dealer said the engine is made in Italy...hmm how confident are you it even sounds Italian

Jim Ronchetto you exactly right and I’m exactly wrong. I’m sorry and will correct this in my follow up video. Thank you for commenting and being so kind and understanding...😊

Pat Casilio,Jr. Good job Pat, everyone hopes you’ll love the machine on the trail!

holy cow are you right...nasa launch pad creeper low. Thank you for commenting. stay safe.

You’re the expert...I just watch them on RU-vid and think they’re awesome. 😊

Taillights*

Okay you win. Please understand my videos don’t always start out with a mission...they’re gathered video that I try to tell a story...I didn’t know where this was going in the beginning. My brother purchased a dolled up machine and I’m over due for a followup. He’s installed many accessories. I may have a new cab unit soon. I like your comment you have a good point. 🙂

Watch my latest video, my wife likes the window in vent position and the windows down...go figure i do also. Thank you for watching and commenting stay safe.
