Features May Include: 

Drive system provides plenty of power to accomplish your work

The Gator™ TE Utility Vehicle features a motor powered by a 48-V electrical system.

• This electrical system provides plenty of power to carry loads, climb hills, and perform evenly until recharge

Through the use of a separately excited controller, the Gator TE offers the following unique features:

• Dynamic braking

  • The motor brakes when the operator lets off the accelerator; it is not a substitute for the brakes

• Overspeed control

  • Reduces exposure to high-speed situations even when descending a hill; under normal conditions with a light load, the vehicle will not freewheel down an incline

• Roll away

  • The electronic brake limits the vehicle speed to approximately 3.2 km/h (2 mph) and prevents the vehicle from freewheeling down a grade when left unattended

• Reduced speed in reverse

  • Controls the vehicle speed to approximately 13 km/h (8 mph) without the loss of torque

• Anti-rollback

  • When stopped on a grade, this feature prevents the vehicle from freewheeling in the opposite direction of the original travel direction

• Regeneration

  • Energy is transformed back into the batteries when the vehicle travels faster than the set maximum speed; regeneration also occurs when dynamic braking is engaged; an estimated 3 percent to 5 percent regenerative energy is put back into the batteries during a day of work

• Diagnostics

  • An onboard computer diagnoses the electrical system; using a flashing indicator light, a sequence of flashes indicates where the controller is having problems communicating

• Speed control

  • The controller is set for a vehicle speed of 20.92 km/h (13 mph)

• Key-off control

  • Permits the function of the interlock and safety features with the key in the off position

• Directional change control

  • When switching from forward to reverse, the machine will come to a complete stop and then changes directions; this prevents a whiplash effect and potential high stress on the drivetrain

Power is transferred through a transaxle with helical gearing for low gear noise.

Onboard battery charger

• The Gator™ TE is equipped with an Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) approved onboard charger. Located under the passenger seat, the onboard charger allows the user to charge their TE from any location containing a wall receptacle. This saves the user time, as they do not have to travel back to the maintenance area for charging; charging can be done anywhere.
• The onboard charger is designed with a wide input voltage range from 85 - 265 VAC, making it capable for worldwide application. Power factor correction and 12A maximum current draw ensures the charger will work reliably from any power outlet in the world, even through surges and sags.

Improved run time

• The onboard charger features advanced temperature sensor technology that improves the information flow coming in and out of charger. The batteries are allowed to charge more fully than they were ever able to before; this can improve run time by up to 75 percent (depending on use cycle).

Important safety features of the charger are as follows:

• Vehicle ignition interlock

  • Prevents the vehicle from being driven while connected to the charger

• Automatic shutoff

  • Battery charger automatically shuts off after reaching the full charge

The Gator TE is equipped with an external AC input IEC connector on the driver side of the vehicle to allow the flexibility of where the charger cord is stored. There is a multicolor LED indicator for low charge, more than 80 percent charge, full charge, or fault.

Heavy-duty frame

• The heavy-duty design with arc-welded uni-body construction provides strength and manufacturing tolerance control.

Features operating conveniences such as high-back cushioned seats, glove box, and automotive-style controls

Many of the Gator™ TE's standard features offer the operator and passenger a smooth, comfortable ride.

• Side-by-side seating provides room for the operator and one passenger

• Hip restraints serve as a handhold and help to keep the operator and passenger in their seats over rough terrain

• Professional high-back cushioned seats are position-adjustable and provide additional comfort and support

• Both seats tilt forward for dry storage and ease of service

The Gator TE's controls and improved walk-through platform provide easy entry/exit for both operator and passenger.

• Glove box is located in the dash to provide a convenient storage area for small tools and the operator's manual

• Grab bar is provided for the passenger

• Automotive-style controls for easy operation

• Center-mounted key switch

• Steering wheel is moved forward to provide more room for the operator

Durable deluxe cargo box is spacious and allows for easy loading and unloading

The deluxe cargo box consists of a 15 percent glass-filled polypropylene composite material that eliminates rust, dents, and reduces noise. The cargo box floor and front panel are made of steel.

The tailgate can be opened or removed to ease clean out and to carry longer items. The tailgate features truck-like performance and can be operated with one hand.
 
The standard installed lanyards can also be removed to lower the tailgate to 150 degrees for convenient loading and unloading tasks.

The deluxe cargo box is easy to latch, unlatch, raise, and lower using a handle that’s built into the cargo box.

• On TX, TX Turf, and TE vehicles the cargo box latch is integrated into the lift handle.
• On TH vehicles, the cargo box latch is located on the front of the cargo box.

A prop rod is provided to hold the box in the upright position for operator convenience, as well as limit box pivot travel.

The deluxe cargo box offers integrated tie-down points for increased versatility. Tie down points are located in the following areas:

• Four corners inside the cargo box bed
• Four points on the load guard directly behind the operator station (A)
• Tie-down bars on either side of the cargo box (B)
• Six points on the underside of the cargo box frame (circled)

The deluxe cargo box easily converts to a flatbed by removing ten bolts and unplugging rear lights (if equipped) at the harness pigtail at the rear of the machine. The flatbed configuration allows loading larger and irregularly shaped cargo.

Comfort and convenience packages

• T-Series vehicles are ordered with a comfort and convenience package, which includes factory-installed optional equipment.

Attachments for field conversion are also available to upgrade lighting and add equipment. Optional accessories for the deluxe cargo box include:

• Cargo box bed mat
• Cargo box power lift
• Side tool rack
• Cargo box divider
• 5-gal. (19-L) bucket holder
• Cargo box extender
• Cargo box side extensions
• Taillight protectors
• Side- and top-opening toolboxes
• Lighting kits

Manage your fleet using John Deere Operations Center™

See compatibility section for serial number breaks and requirements.

The John Deere Operations Center tracks your fleet and provides tools to analyze equipment data. The connected features vary by vehicle model.

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.

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

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.

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:
