A straight, spec-by-spec look for gator buyers across Ohio and Indiana. The numbers are only half the decision.
If you're looking at these two, you're probably someone who wants a cab-equipped Gator that works hard year-round, on a farm, acreage, or property where you're hauling, towing, and putting in long days. The good news is that the XUV 845M HVAC Cab and the XUV 845R Premium Cab share the same 53 hp EFI gas engine, 49.6 cu in. displacement, 4,000 lb. towing capacity, 18.5 cu ft cargo box, 12 in. ground clearance, and 87 in. wheelbase. Neither one is a step down in capability.
So the decision comes down to a few details. The XUV 845M stands 79.9 in. tall versus 84.1 in. for the 845R, which can matter if you're pulling into a low shop door, a barn, or a trailer setup. It also carries 1,030 lb. of payload versus 1,003 lb., weighs 2,371 lb. versus 2,397 lb., and offers 18.4 gal. of total storage versus 17.6 gal. The 845R brings a two-tone vinyl bench, while the 845M has black vinyl. Both are 40/60 split three-passenger benches.
Whichever you choose, you get Koenig service across Ohio and Indiana, genuine parts, and strong John Deere resale. Stop in and talk with your local Koenig team, and we'll match one to your work.
