Features
You will feel confident and comfortable, even on tough terrain, with a full-size Gator™ Utility Vehicle. You will feel stable with a low center of gravity and a wide stance. Engine braking and four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes keep you in control on steep descents, even when fully loaded. The power steering on M- and R-Trim vehicles, is smooth and responsive.
Standard four-wheel drive with rear differential lock
![Dash mounted four-wheel drive and rear differential lock switches](https://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/utility_vehicles/features_attachment/xuv835_865/r4g085067_diff_lock_4wd_switch_275s.jpg)

My new 865m came with a lot of problems: - this screw broke several times (broken screw led to heavy vibrations) - shaft seal not well installed - snorkel is touching the side wall (noise in the cab) - hard shifting - Predator rear tires not round (Gator jumping) - plastic over alternator was touching the alternator and some more smaller problems. After all my Gator is still louder than other 865m. Fortunately I have a great dealer which always helped me very much.
