2008 John Deere Gator XUV 620I ATVs and Utility Vehicle

John Deere launch a more affordable gator range

The machinery manufacturer has also launched the new mid-size XUV 560, which it says is aimed at those looking for a more affordable 4×4 utility vehicle but with the same levels of comfort and versatility expected of John Deere’s popular Gator range.

Like the XUV 590i two-person Gator, this model also has a minimum ground clearance of 267mm and load and towing capacities of 363kg and 499kg respectively.

The new Gator is also fitted with a quiet 16hp, 570cc V-twin petrol engine providing swift acceleration to a top speed of 28mph.

The new John Deere model features independent four-wheel suspension and multiple attachment options.

The machine is also equipped with rapid throttle response, reliable cold-weather starting, smooth mid-range power delivery and quiet idling, it says.

The machinery manufacturer also says the XUV 560’s roll-over protective cab allows for easy entry and exit, three-point seat belts and side grab handles to ensure the operator and passenger are safe and well protected.

This model also offers sealed underhood storage and features a large, one-piece cargo box made of a composite material that eliminates rust and dents and reduces noise.

The truck-like tailgate can be opened with one hand, or removed for easier cleaning of the cargo area and to carry longer items, John Deere reports.
