Good All-Around Machine: John Deere Gator 825i

"The XUV maneuvers well,” says Bedord. “I like the spacious cargo box and spacious cab. There are lots of lights on the front of the machine, which is nice when you’re out in the fields or checking cattle at night.” The Gator XUV 825i also handles the trails well with a load. “Excellent vehicle. I couldn’t tell there was a load,” says Joe Greving, co-owner of Cedar Rapids Tire in Iowa. “The only thing the XUV lacks is power off the start.”
