The Honor Edition Gator is a fantastic vehicle. The number of standard features that are upgrades from a regular 835M are nice. I added a glass windshield and rear panel to help with rain also. This machine has cut the time it takes me to do chores around the farm by a third.

I can literally do anything with this machine. The suspension is amazing! It can handle the roughest of trails, haul heavy items with ease and pulls loads like a charm! Highly recommend for farm use. Tough as nails!

Our XUV835M is only 3 years old. We use it daily for do chores on our farm. The parking brake quit working after 2 years. I know 2 other people that have had the same problem. I tell my wife if it ever runs over me and kills me she is to sue JD for at least $500M! I would NEVER recommend anyone to buy a Gator. They need to stick to tractors.

My wife purchased a XUV835M Gator a couple of years ago. The parking brake failed after 1 1/2 years. She uses it daily and always has to park against something to prevent it from rolling. I would never recommend this product

I recently purchased the 835M Honor Edition and so far my family and I love it. I like the Honor Edition design and I like that part of the proceeds go to John Deere's veteran program. The power feels good and I was surprised how nice the ride is over uneven terrain and the occasional tree branch here and there. I was wondering if the LED lights would be enough at night and to my surprise they were, it gave off a good amount of light. Overall I'm extremely happy with my purchase just as much as the 3025E that I bought over a year ago.
