Overview

The Gator© GX Electric and GX Electric Crew Utility Vehicles are designed to keep you going without interruptions for maintenance. Their maintenance-free lithium-ion battery and electric powertrain free you from traditionally long maintenance checklists:

• No spilling, transporting, smelling, or storing gasoline
• No engine oil changes or disposal concerns
• No engine air filters to clean or replace
• No CVT belt
• No grease points
• No need to add fuel stabilizer or remove fuel for seasonal storage

Tow switch

Tow switch and hour meter (shown with seat cushion and storage tray removed)

If you need to push or tow the vehicle, you can activate the tow switch which allows the drive wheels to roll freely. The tow switch is located under the driver’s seat cushion and can cycle the power to energize the vehicle’s electrical system after storage.

NOTE: To tow the vehicle, make sure that the drive-select switch is in the FWD position, and then move the tow switch to the TOW position. After moving the switch from the RUN position to the TOW position, wait at least 15 seconds before moving the switch again. Failure to do so may lead to drive-system damage while towing. If the vehicle is towed with the tow switch in the RUN position, an alarm will sound.

Hour meter

A standard hour meter keeps track of use and makes it easy to know when maintenance should be performed. The hour meter can be found under the driver’s seat, next to the tow switch.

2-year or 1500-hour warranty

The Gator GX Electric and GX Electric Crew Utility Vehicles are covered by a 2-year or 1500-hour, whichever comes first, warranty. The battery has even more coverage, with a 5-year coverage period.

All repairs are serviced and administrated by your John Deere dealer; there is no need to file claims with component suppliers.

Dash-mounted controls, battery-level indicator, and USB power ports

The JDLink M Modem regularly transmits the location and operational status of each vehicle in the fleet so you can monitor progress in Operations Center.

• Location history-Display of map with current and past locations of each vehicle.
• Speed-Maps each vehicle’s current speed, so you can target operator training.
• Hours of operation-Reports the time of day the vehicle has been operated.
• Geofencing-Alerts when a vehicle enters or exits a prescribed area, for example if the vehicle has been stolen or an operator entered a prohibited area.
• Curfews-Alerts if the vehicle is operating outside prescribed times.

Engine hours

The modem regularly transmits the vehicle’s engine hours to inform maintenance planning and balance use.

• Sync-The vehicle reports actual engine hours to the Operations Center.
• Key-Engine hours are estimated by monitoring the key switch. Engine hours can be corrected in Operations Center.

Maintenance planner

Operations Center Maintenance Planner

Factory or custom maintenance plans can be established in Operations Center. Maintenance alerts are sent when engine hours reach maintenance intervals.

Machine Analyzer Tool

Operations Center Machine Analyzer Tool

On select products, the modem reports the hours the vehicle spent working and idling. The Operations Center’s Machine Analyzer tool reports usage data which allows you to analyze operator behavior, identify causes of low productivity, and initiate corrective actions.

Fuel level

On select products, the modem reports the fuel level. On these products, an analysis of fuel consumption is available in the Operations Center Machine Analyzer Tool. Measuring fuel consumption enables you to address causes of excessive fuel use.

Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)

On select products, the modem transmits the trouble codes generated by the vehicle’s control units to the Operations Center. Addressing DTCs can reduce downtime and repair costs. For example, a low-engine oil pressure DTC can indicate an engine is low on oil. Addressing the issue can prevent costly downtime and repairs.

To help address issues quickly, when a DTC is generated, the Operations Center can display a push notification on the mobile app and send an email. Operations Center can also be configured to limit notifications to stop-level severity DTCs.

Service Advisor Remote

On select products, John Deere dealers can perform remote diagnostics, software programming, and adjustments without the cost of a service call.

Compatibility

A JDLink Modem is included on:

• Model year 2023 to 2025 vehicles ordered with option code 183E JDLink Modem. Option code 183E was only available with, and required on, GreenStar ready and AutoTrac ready vehicles.
• Model year 2026 and newer vehicles ordered with option code 183N JDLink M Modem. Option code 183N can be ordered as a stand-alone option and is required on GreenStar ready and AutoTrac ready vehicles.

A JDLink M Modem can be field installed on the Gator Utility Vehicles listed below. Field installation attachments simplify modem installation, and include mounting hardware, harness, and instructions. Field installation requires a JDLink M Modem to be ordered separately. The field installation attachments include a wiring harness therefore the modem should be ordered with the less harness option code.

*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, the optional BUC11879 ethernet cable connects a JDLink M Modem to a Generation 4 or 5 display which enables the JDLink M Modem to transmit precision ag technology data to Operations Center.

• 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.

The following chart shows the ethernet cable and switch kits needed to connect a display to a JDLink modem to transmit precision ag technology data to Operations Center:

* Nothing is needed because factory GreenStar and AutoTrac include connected modem.

**Factory-installed AutoTrac started with model year 2023 and factory-installed GreenStar ready started with model year 2025.

BUC11879 ethernet cable and BUC11874 ethernet switch are expected to be available by Fall 2025.
