2023 John Deere Work Series Gator™ UTV TH 6x4 Gas

2023 John Deere Work Series Gator™ UTV TH 6x4 Gas

• Best in class work capability

• Wide stance for enhanced stability

Features may include:

• The Gator™ TH 6X4 Utility Vehicle is powered by an 11.6-kW (15.5-hp)*, 675-cc (41.2-cu in.), air-cooled, V-twin, four-cycle gas engine.

• The engine horsepower information is provided by the engine manufacturer to be used for comparison purposes only. The actual operating horsepower will be less.

• This engine has several performance and reliability features:

• Overhead valve design for greater efficiency and fuel economy

• Full-pressure lubrication system with standard filter

• Replaceable single-element air cleaner with remote intake

• Large-capacity spark-arresting muffler

• Electronic ignition for less service and fast, reliable starts

• Low fuel consumption and large 18.9 L (5 U.S. gal.) fuel tank

• Fuel consumption at half load and average speed is as follows:

• Gator TH 6x4: 1.3 L/h (0.35 U.S. gph)

• Engine is Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) compliant

• The Gator™ TH 6X4's power is transmitted from the transaxle to the center axle. The rear axle is driven by roller chains from the center axle.

• 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 km/h to 32 km/h [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

• Here is how the variable-speed drive works:

• As the engine speed increases, the spring-loaded drive clutch is closed by weights being forced out by centrifugal force.

• As the drive clutch closes, the belt rides up to the largest diameter of the drive clutch and forces open the driven clutch.

• With the belt running in the smallest diameter of the driven clutch, the speed being transferred to the transaxle is increased.

• 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.

• The 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

• The neutral start safety interlock is provided for the engine ignition system.

• 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
