New John Deere XUV 850D 4×4 Gator gets a higher top speed, improved suspension and better off-road performance.

A 24hp (850cc) liquid-cooled, three-cylinder Yanmar diesel engine gives a top speed of 30mph and there’s 270mm (11in) of ground clearance, aided by larger wheels and tyres.

Maximum capacity of the steel tipping cargo box is 453kg, while total payload capacity is 635kg and towing capacity is 590kg. The 4wd system incorporates a limited slip front differential and a lockable rear differential. Available in August, it costs £9299.
