The strong, 16-gauge cargo box allows hauling heavy and bulky cargo.

 

The load of the box is placed directly over the rear wheels, where the load is in the most stable position. The 64 cm (25-in.) load height for the Gator™ TS allows easy loading and unloading of material.

Precision-engineered drive system
Gator™ TS 4X2/Gator TX 4X2 Gator™ TS 4X2/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 kph to 32 kph [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 Variable-speed drive

How the variable-speed drive works:

  1. As the engine speed increases, the spring-loaded drive clutch is closed by weights being forced out by centrifugal force.
  2. As the drive clutch closes, the belt rides up to the largest diameter of the drive clutch and forces open the driven clutch.
  3. With the belt running in the smallest diameter of the driven clutch, the speed being transferred to the transaxle is increased.
  4. 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

 

Gator TS 4X2

Bolt-on cast-aluminum rear axle housings provide an extremely strong supporting structure.

  • Large, sealed bearings are located inside the housing for better protection
  • Forged-splined shaft for increased torsional strength

Gator TX 4X2

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

Tough machine

I purchased my TS 4x2 4 years ago. I had 3 acres of lawn and plenty of projects. It has paid for itself in saving time and my back! We have since down sized to 1 acre but still very useful. Always starts even at -10 below during the winter.

Wonderful

We bought a John Deere Gator in 1995. We are still driving it. We have nearly 100 acres and this old friend has been over every inch of it. We had cows for many years and it helped us feed and care for them. We still use it to harvest the garden and bring to the house. It still drives hubby around to check all the water sprinklers and get the mail every day. We've replaced most of the exterior parts more than once and they could use it again. We are getting older and so is the gator. Currently the starter is acting up but it's expected after 25 years. We frequently comment we would never have done all this without our gator. By the way, we were the 1st on our road to have a gator. Now everyone as something similar.

Pros:

  • only pro's

Great looking machine

I purchased this product in early April 2019. I needed this gator for my small farm and I purchased from my friends at Ag Pro in Carnescille Ga. I am looking forward to many years with my gator and Ibfeel it will serve me well in the years to come. John Deere makes a great product and I enjoy their tractors and gator products as well.

Pros:

  • very user friendly
  • good looking machine

Cons:
  • nothing not like about the ts

Good Looking machine for my small farm

I purchased this gator after selling my 2004 CX back on 3-30-19. My CX cost 4850 new and I was offered 3850 and I decided to let it go because I always wanted the TS but in 2004 it was 6300 dollars and I thought that was too expensive for me. After I sold my CX I went straight to Ag Pro in Carnesville, Ga and they had a TS gator with my name on it! I purchased this gator and it runs and cranks so easy and is so ergonomically fit to use. This machine feels so solid and I feel it will serve me for many years to come. I like the easy to read gas gauge beside the seat because this a real handy feature. I have only 6 hrs.on this machine and I will post another post when I log a few more hours in the near future. I believe this machine is bullet prof and I look forward to using it on my small farm for many years to come. The only thing that worries me is changing oil. The filter seems like it will be a pain to get to but I will cross that bridge in a few more hours. Overall, I like the look and quality feel of this machine. I am very satisfied with my new purchase.

Pros:

  • very user friendly
  • quality built

Cons:
  • oil filter is hard to get to

It even Plows Snow!

I bought a used Gator 4x2 with 1400 hours on it and used it all summer with my business without any trouble. I put a UTV plow on the front with a winch to raise and lower. My Gator just keeps on working. I live north of the Twin Cities and have a huge drive and parking area. All I have to do is lock the differential and away we go. No need for chains just put some weight in the back and your good to go. My Gator sits in the unheated pole barn and the gas engine starts every time. This is a great machine.

Ignore this review if you take yours to the dealer for service

After burning up every other brand of utility vehicle, I have bought at least 6 of these Gators in a row, and have used them all over 5,000 hours with very little maintenance other than regular schedule. With this many hours they need service at least monthly, so i can't have them down long enough to take to dealer. But the one i bought last year is awful. The oil filter is almost impossible to get to. ( I have tried 5 different oil filter tools and none of them work. i would love to know what tool the deere mechanics use. I have looked into a relocating kit because it is so bad. The oil filler neck is tucked under behind the seat in a place that is hard to get to even with a long funnel. The fuel filter is behind the oil filter, making it literally impossible to change without taking apart the entire cowling. On top of all that, this specific machine never idles quite right. I will research other utility machines before i buy another Gator.

Pros:

  • does the job
  • reliable at 2k hours

Cons:
  • obfuscated the obvious
