Very nice piece of equipment. Love the drone view of the green crops growing on a sunny day. Nothing of quality comes cheap today. Everything cost a lot of money.🚜
We use have the same model. We love it. It really works good for picking rock. Two of us drive along & you can just step out & pick up the rocks. We have the lift on the bed & it works amazingly well dumping rocks on the rock pile. I think you will really enjoy the Gator.
The 825i is a great Gator, it is smooth with its performance and gets up and goes very nicely. We did the same thing u did, say bye to the Mule and get a Gator but recently we got the new 835m Gator and gave the 825i to my grandfather and he loves it much better than the Mule it seems
I always enjoy your music. For a young man you make great music choices for your videos. And very good drone footage also. Your videos are very cinematographic.
We just took our 2014 Gator in to trade up to the 2018 835....it has a larger frame...same drivetrain...and the seat is 4 inches wider....we were quoted $10,000 difference !! The base MSRP for the 835 is over $17,000.....give me a break...it's a oversized 4 wheeler with a dump bed...not a pickup or a jeep....So...I'm buying a Geo Tracker and cutting the top off it!!! Selling my gator!!
Fine video. I have a 2004 Mule 3010 fully tricked out and 1,200 hours. Its 12 years old though when UTVs were first born. No wonder you love the JD 825i. The engine, suspension and cab are light years from the Mule. Enjoy it. Its awesome. When I get too old to drive my tractor, I'll get one of these to replace the Mule. Keep the great videos coming. I really enjoy them.
I am the 2nd owner and use it at my 2nd home about 150 acres haying only so it gets light use. All around utility vehicle for chores and boat hauling. Love the 8251 and your videos.
I am a farmer but I will surely recommend this product to a friend who helps out a farmer during harvest season!! That’s pretty much about to start lol 😂. He lived in Cherokee iowa and actually had a side by side ! What a coincidence I thought!!! 🤔😂
you will need a little plug in heater for the winter to keep the windows from fogging. you can pick up a cheap one that plugs into the access. we have the same unit with the same cab.
You'll love your Gator! I bought a XUV855D mainly for fence repair (carry a big Puma gas compressor + fencing stuff) and its far exceeded all expectations. I get pretty good mpg and reliability after 7 months has been excellent. I'm glad to see you get one Ryan...even if it's mainly your dads 😜
Wow, what a nice ride... The early mules and Kubota's had terrible seat geometry. Your back had no lean back and the pedals were on the floor, they were very cramped inside. This looks roomy and comfortable. Thanks for posting!
Love that machine , surprised it doesn't have heat with that nice cab especially when you guys are out running around your acreage in the winter months, great machine to do some plowing as well .
We have a 825i and we love it Tint the all the windows but just a tint strip on the front and it will make the cab a lot cooler also we added a light bar on the front due to the factory lights being so dim.
Just make sure if you get in deep water.. once it gets to floor boards.. stop. your air intake is under passenger seat, once that takes on water you are screwed. A friend of mine did that. other then that love my 2016 Gator.
In TX that would need to have one heck of an AC, I can't imagine setting in a green house like that with 100+ degree weather without some type of air conditioning.
I like the John Deere Gator. I have been looking for a good and reliable one for my place. I also want to thank you for growing soy beans. I drink a lot of soy milk and I like to eat roasted soy beans.
we have the same model at work, only a few years old. You might want to look into the add on heater option as it is a cold tin can in the winter. and the clock on the display is never correct lol, not a big deal. We have a Boss plow for ours and it is useless, it won't push worth a darn. Take care
I was only talking about it being called a pickup, not about the dog. But I am not sure the dog was in there when they were going 45 mph. They didn't show the back in that scene.
19 grand my ass, we have a diesel gator that we picked up for 9k and the only thing it's missing from yours is the cab. Also got a kubota rtv1100 for 17 with a/c heat and will drag that gator through the dirt like a tonka toy. John Deere is so over priced, decent product. Big issue with the gators are the shift linkages are trash and will need modifications to fix.
We have a gator it is the exact same but with no cab. Those things have lots of power trust me I have pulled full hay rack full of alfalfa hay with it and it does it just fine. I live about 1 hour from potosi in a little farm town we run about 250acres. It is the town with the Shoe Box
Well, if you guys have learned one thing, it's that any time you make a new purchase, the fanboys spend more time arguing in the comments then solving their personal problems. I haven't been around the new gators enough to have an opinion, I'm sure for a farm it will do great!
Great looking SXS! I am a new sub and have been enjoying your vids. I grew up a farm boy in rural PA. I own a 2013 Kubota 1120d right now and it still looks new to this day and only has 600 miles on it. I just use it for snow plow duty and have a nice Curtis 72" power angle plow system on it. I've been looking to get a new SXS that is more trail friendly than my Kubota. Bottom line is,,,it's pitifully slow, and shifting gears can be a real chore at times. It does however plow very nicely and great on fuel being diesel. I've been reading up on your model in this video and watched several reviews. Sounds like what I am looking for. I love my hydraulic dump bed on the Kubota so I want to keep a power assist dump. The 825i is supposed to be one of the best riding non full sport SXS on the market. I also like that is has basically a inline 3cyl. car engine for power. Being CVT would do away with my shifting woes of the Kubota. Kubota should have fixed that issue long ago. Its just hard to mix a shiftable transmission on what is basically a hydrostatic tractor style engine/trans. It would of been better with a hand throttle and a foot pedal for forward and reverse like a garden tractor. Other than that its been flawless and looks new so selling it will be no issue. My Curtis plow was $4500 alone. Do you know if the CVT belt system on your 825i has a centrifgul clutch to keep constant belt tension at all times? I want one that is set up that way instead of being a "belt slammer" as I call them that fry belts easily. I see the new Kawasaki Mule Pro FX and FXT look to be powered by the same exact engine as your 825i. The JD looks nicer to me, but Kawasaki has a 3yr. warranty...unheard of.lol. I will be doing more research soon. I also want to keep a plow set up like mine which is elec/hydraulic with its own pump instead of going back to a winch powered plow like I used to use on my atv's. Thanks for the great videos. My son loves the tractors..I like you have many engines to maintain...lol! Mine aren't nearly the size of yours though. I only have my old Ford 3910 with FEL and other 3 point attachments left now..It's been a great old 50hp mid sized tractor...sorry so long...thanks again from a new sub...I gotta get a good camera and make some real vids for youtube...just my sons phone cam stuff he and his friends goofed with. I will see how to add pics to my profile here so you can see my Kubota.
harry mcmillan Your wife would probably kill you for buying a mule if she knew how much nicer a gator rides than a mule, and they have much better capabilities off road. We own a mule and I have a gator 825i at work and I hate our mule now.
I just traded my 900xp on a new mule pro fxt. From what I can tell by driving the deere an mule they are pretty much the same. They both have the same engine manufacturer and the ride Is equal to me.
If no air / heat, windows will freeze up in the winter. Yes i can't see buying one of these, like fran below, because of the cost, when you got a pickup too.
Don’t know anything about farming nor using utv’s. But the gator just looks cool. I wonder how those great looking glass doors and windows are going to hold up. Do you have the heater option?
Ryan, I've got the Gator and I'm wondering if you have taken the doors off in the summer, I want to take the doors off for summer but having difficulty doing it. I wonder if you can give me any help. Thanks!
Very nice piece of equipment. Love the drone view of the green crops growing on a sunny day. Nothing of quality comes cheap today. Everything cost a lot of money.🚜
George Hallden
When did quality come cheap ?
Those 3 cylinders really sound awesome when you stand on the throttle!
We use have the same model. We love it. It really works good for picking rock. Two of us drive along & you can just step out & pick up the rocks. We have the lift on the bed & it works amazingly well dumping rocks on the rock pile. I think you will really enjoy the Gator.
good for you and your family getting something like that gator.
You all work hard on the farm and is nice to have a good machine to help you out.
Just like a John Deere Gator commercial! Helluva job !!
Your Dad is going to be loving that!!
The Gator matches in perfectly. Your crop is looking great, so far!
A fine dog and a new runabout. Your living heaven on earth sir...may life be long, and continues to prosper. Loved this video! ❤️
We have a 825i in camo without the glass cab, and it gets a lot of use around our 30 acre wooded property. Nice video!
The 825i is a great Gator, it is smooth with its performance and gets up and goes very nicely. We did the same thing u did, say bye to the Mule and get a Gator but recently we got the new 835m Gator and gave the 825i to my grandfather and he loves it much better than the Mule it seems
Love the dogs attitude-hard to let loose of his toy.
I always enjoy your music. For a young man you make great music choices for your videos. And very good drone footage also. Your videos are very cinematographic.
Thanks!
Love our Mule. Got a new 2022 XC last year. Looks like the JD is a great machine too

To me that doesn't seem like much use in 12 years. Is that normal?
I am the 2nd owner and use it at my 2nd home about 150 acres haying only so it gets light use. All around utility vehicle for chores and boat hauling. Love the 8251 and your videos.
Looks like the dog have fun in the new gator!
Hiiiihiii
I am a farmer but I will surely recommend this product to a friend who helps out a farmer during harvest season!! That’s pretty much about to start lol 😂. He lived in Cherokee iowa and actually had a side by side ! What a coincidence I thought!!! 🤔😂
Best of luck with it guys, it should be a great tool for many years!
We also have a 825i, and in the summer I would suggest taking the doors off. It makes it much cooler.
Nice looking Deere. I wish I had that Mule though, still looked like a sweet machine. Maybe needed a cleanup
I gave two away this week. Rotted
No 4.456 Congratulations with your new gator
you will need a little plug in heater for the winter to keep the windows from fogging. you can pick up a cheap one that plugs into the access. we have the same unit with the same cab.
that cultivated corn looked real nice !
frosty 316 das ist super...
You'll love your Gator! I bought a XUV855D mainly for fence repair (carry a big Puma gas compressor + fencing stuff) and its far exceeded all expectations. I get pretty good mpg and reliability after 7 months has been excellent. I'm glad to see you get one Ryan...even if it's mainly your dads 😜
Keeping it green!
Wow, what a nice ride... The early mules and Kubota's had terrible seat geometry. Your back had no lean back and the pedals were on the floor, they were very cramped inside. This looks roomy and comfortable. Thanks for posting!
When I was a kid I was part owner in a 1946 Willys Jeep. This looks like a lot of fun to drive but, my suggestion is, stay on the hard road.
Iguana
Nice piece of farm equipment and necessary tool, looking fwd to many years service. Dad even got new JD caps.
Love that machine , surprised it doesn't have heat with that nice cab especially when you guys are out running around your acreage in the winter months, great machine to do some plowing as well .
I think it'll throw off enough heat from the radiator up front. Mostly what we've always needed is a windbreak.
Well good luck with it I have had my 825i for 4 years I could not run my ranch with out it.
Love your drone shots A++++++
We have a 825i and we love it Tint the all the windows but just a tint strip on the front and it will make the cab a lot cooler also we added a light bar on the front due to the factory lights being so dim.
Expensive but high quality as anything is from Deere.
Now I want a new 825i -- but out older one is still going very strong.
The John Deere Gator looks like a good piece of equipment. Good Luck with it. Cheers !
Nice video here...Like the way you interfaced the drone footage.. You guys got some great looking crops by the way.
nice bit of kit there Ryan .
Just make sure if you get in deep water.. once it gets to floor boards.. stop. your air intake is under passenger seat, once that takes on water you are screwed. A friend of mine did that. other then that love my 2016 Gator.
In TX that would need to have one heck of an AC, I can't imagine setting in a green house like that with 100+ degree weather without some type of air conditioning.
I know right
That is quite the update from the mule
Thank you Sloans!
I have a Kawasaki mule 500 2 wheel drive that my dad bought mid 90s still have it
I like the John Deere Gator. I have been looking for a good and reliable one for my place. I also want to thank you for growing soy beans. I drink a lot of soy milk and I like to eat roasted soy beans.

Id love to have a gator like that. I guess a little 4x4 ranger pickup will have to do for me for now hahah
Can't beat that ole mule though. Kawasaki makes a damn good utility.
Maybe add a light bar for the winter dark afternoons?
I think the dog is a Kawasaki fan.....a cab without an air conditioner is a greenhouse here in Texas
I feel like some Lights bars are going to be put on there :)
Nice..... Nothing runs like a Deere; except my '39 Pontiac streetrod :) 👍
Get ur self a propane golf heater, they sit in the cup holders. Perfect for winter time
Rain issue solved, instead of washing a tractor, let the new one attract the rain and just duster off. Beautiful crops.

"Stellar Awesome Green & Yellow John Deere!!
guess I'm 83rd lol. looks like your gonna get the Silver Play button b4 Wes
Love john deere. Very good camera and drone video. Keep up the good work.
Nice looking rig.
@howfarmswork. My opinion the half window half door is pretty good then it doesn't get as hot in the cab
Who in the world disliked this video!!!!! It was amazing
Did he drive at 46 mph with a dog in the pickup truck ?
Trueit Brassfield I think he did lol
That wasn't a pickup truck
Does not matter. He put his animal at risk...
I was only talking about it being called a pickup, not about the dog. But I am not sure the dog was in there when they were going 45 mph. They didn't show the back in that scene.
19 grand my ass, we have a diesel gator that we picked up for 9k and the only thing it's missing from yours is the cab.

Big issue with the gators are the shift linkages are trash and will need modifications to fix.
46mph with a dog in the bed 😂😂
We have a gator it is the exact same but with no cab. Those things have lots of power trust me I have pulled full hay rack full of alfalfa hay with it and it does it just fine. I live about 1 hour from potosi in a little farm town we run about 250acres. It is the town with the Shoe Box
Nothing run´s like a deere! i really would like to test this thing out, looks REALLY nice! :D
I have a Polaris, I had to spent 350 off the show room floor to get the clutch to work right
42+ miles per hour. Dang that is crazy. Hit a stump or rock and your the next astronaut...
it is a nice machine. hope you have good luck with it.
Well, if you guys have learned one thing, it's that any time you make a new purchase, the fanboys spend more time arguing in the comments then solving their personal problems. I haven't been around the new gators enough to have an opinion, I'm sure for a farm it will do great!
we have one to with that cab once the motor gets warm in the winter the heat from the motor will run you out of the cab lol
Great video once again Ryan, you took the light bar off of the mule are you going to put it back on the new gator. Love the videos keep them coming
Now you need to put a light bar in the front and back (and sides).
we have an 855d and it's really handy
Awesome another green machine!!
the gator is made just down the road from me in Horicon Wi.
My goodness my dog wouldn't get out of my GMC Sierra when I sold it literally took 30 min to get him out!
Happy for you.
Very nice, well wear Dwight and Beth:):)

Yea if it's green it's going to cost you for sure! A friend has one they are nice an very fast watch out!
Great vid Ryan Smile More God Bless Stay Safe guys 👍
Your gonna miss that mule. I love mine.
i bought a mule diesel for my farm will not go as fast but my wife and I love it
harry mcmillan Your wife would probably kill you for buying a mule if she knew how much nicer a gator rides than a mule, and they have much better capabilities off road. We own a mule and I have a gator 825i at work and I hate our mule now.
Did y'all look at any other UTVs and how did they compare? Everyone on here has an opinion. I hope y'all have great luck with it.
I'm a farmer, own many pieces of JD equipment, but leaning towards a Kubota UTV. Great Video.
So when are you putting that lightbar on it
Good video Ryan! keep up the good work.
I just traded my 900xp on a new mule pro fxt. From what I can tell by driving the deere an mule they are pretty much the same. They both have the same engine manufacturer and the ride
Is equal to me.
Thinking about getting one of those
If no air / heat, windows will freeze up in the winter. Yes i can't see buying one of these, like fran below, because of the cost, when you got a pickup too.
hold on marty, classic
Great choice jd Gators are awesome machines!👍
i have a 825i, trade every year i average 1500 miles a summer on mine, you will definitely want to add more lights
poor haley dogs are super smart but nice deere
How does the motor in the mule sound when it starts up again? Lol
Wow, that is quiet!!!👍
Nice purchase...more versatile than a truck....smart move !
all though a truck can haul more
sylvia odegaard that's pretty obvious
Jim Estep on the orchards in Aussie,checkin,irrigation,fits down the rows,top visibility,all ya parts on the back.
Mike Berg I do the same with my pecan orchard in Alabama.
How Farms Work I'm jealous I want one
Me too
just a word of warning when it comes to changing the oil filter it is a real pain to get out
First are you staying at your place while your renovating? Second is Jamie coming back in future videos?
Hi, how much did it cost? How do I do to buy one Gator in Colombia, South America? Thanks 😊
Don’t know anything about farming nor using utv’s. But the gator just looks cool. I wonder how those great looking glass doors and windows are going to hold up. Do you have the heater option?
Ryan, I've got the Gator and I'm wondering if you have taken the doors off in the summer, I want to take the doors off for summer but having difficulty doing it. I wonder if you can give me any help. Thanks!
