PBS - Motorweek (October 2008)

"...We had the services of this John Deere Gator 850D 4x4 XUV... We found this little 26-horsepower diesel dump body the perfect workhorse for hauling stuff around our studios... It was also perfectly entertaining as a weekend off-roader... We would certainly welcome one back to our fleet any time."

John Deere XUV 850D

Eight farmers test nine Utility Vehicles for Farm Industry News and the Gator XUV 850D ranks number one!

From the article Rodeo Drive on the Farm Industry News Web site:
"Rising to the top of the rankings was the new John Deere XUV 850 diesel, which is a big change from two years ago when a Deere Gator sat at the bottom of the testers' list. 'The Deere vehicle was way better than the last Gators I rode here,' stated Clark McPheeters, Gothenburg, NE. 'This one is not in the same class. I would buy one this time.' " Check out the video.
