- Gator TX 4X2: 1.3 L/hr (0.35 U.S. gph)
EPA compliant

Precision-engineered drive system

Gator™ TX 4X2

Power is transmitted from the engine, through a continuously variable clutch system, to a transaxle. Power is transmitted from the transaxle directly to the rear axle.

Key elements of the drive system are as follows:

Variable-speed drive

The variable-speed drive consists of two clutches connected by a drive belt:

Drive clutch is attached to and rotated by the engine.
Driven clutch is attached to and drives the transaxle.

Features include:

Infinite selection of speeds (0 km/h to 32 km/h [0 mph to 20 mph])
No shifting necessary as operator increases speed
Adjusts speed to the load to avoid bogging down when going up a hill or through challenging conditions because the wrong gear was selected

Variable-speed drive

How the variable-speed drive works:

As the engine speed increases, the spring-loaded drive clutch is closed by weights being forced out by centrifugal force.
As the drive clutch closes, the belt rides up to the largest diameter of the drive clutch and forces open the driven clutch.
With the belt running in the smallest diameter of the driven clutch, the speed being transferred to the transaxle is increased.
The driven clutch is designed to sense varying loads (inclines, mud, etc.) and constantly adjusts the drive speed upward or downward, so the engine rpm remains constant at constant throttle position.

Transaxle

The transaxle is fully enclosed and runs in oil for reliability.

Helical gears are used for quiet operation.

Differential design reduces scuffing of the turf during turns because the inside wheels turn slower than the outside wheels (vehicles that have a solid axle shaft must skid the inside wheel when making a turn).

Traction assist (differential lock) is built into the transaxle:

Allows locking the rear drive wheels together
Provides increased traction in tough spots

A neutral start safety interlock is provided for the engine ignition system.

Heavy-duty rear axle housings

One-piece forged axles are splined for maximum strength.

Large, sealed bearings for better protection and load-carrying capabilities
Forged-splined shaft for increased torsional strength
Nodular cast-iron housing for increased durability

Features operating conveniences such as high-back seats, cup holders, 12-V outlet, glove box, and fuel gauge

Side-by-side bucket seating

Numerous features offer the operator and passenger a comfortable ride and provide many operating conveniences.

Side-by-side bucket seating provides room for one operator and one passenger
Hip restraints serve as a handhold and help to keep the operator and passenger in their seats over rough terrain
Both seats tilt forward for dry storage and ease of service
Choice of adjustable or non-adjustable driver's seat
Hour-meter is standard to assist in maintaining regular service intervals
Integrated cupholders
12-V outlet located on instrument panel

Convenient walk-through operator station

The control location and walk-through platform provide easy entry/exit for operator and passenger.

NOTE: Shown above with the optional front bumper, brush guard, front fender guard, and floor mat.

NOTE: The front bumper is standard on the Gator™ TH 6X4 Diesel.

All models feature a park brake indicator light, hour-meter, and tank-mounted fuel gauge as standard equipment
Traction assist (differential lock) is hand operated and conveniently located between the operator and passenger seats
Traction assist indicator light (Gator TH 6X4 only)
Glove box is located in the dash to provide a convenient storage area for small tools and the operator's manual
Grab bar is provided for the passenger
Center-mounted key switch
Additional storage is provided between the seats

*The TE Electric and XUV 845E models do not support installation of a JDLink Modem.

**Installation attachments are expected to be available by Fall 2025.

Ethernet cable and switch kits

On model year 2026 and newer XUV 845M, 845R, 875M, and 875R vehicles, an ethernet cable connects the JDLink M Modem to a Generation 4 or 5 display to transmit precision ag technology data to Operations Center.

BUC12095 display and receiver integration kit includes the ethernet cable
BUC11814 display and receiver integration kit requires an optional BUC11879 ethernet cable
Only vehicles equipped with a BUC11814 display and receiver integration kit benefit from BUC11879 ethernet cable since factory-installed GreenStar and AutoTrac ready options include this functionality.
Model year 2025 and older vehicles are not compatible with BUC11879 ethernet cable.

Model year 2026 vehicles with a generation 4 display (4240 or 4640) also require a BUC11874 ethernet switch to adapt the generation 4 display. This applies to vehicles with factory-installed GreenStar ready option, factory-installed AutoTrac ready option, and vehicles with a BUC11814 display and receiver integration kit. GreenStar 3 2630 Displays are not compatible with model year 2026 and newer AutoTrac systems.
