2024 John Deere Work Series Gator™ UTV TX 4x2

• Best in class work capability

• Wide stance for enhanced stability

• Best in class cargo box

Features may include:

The Gator™ TX 4X2 is powered by an 11.6-kW (15.5-hp), 675-cc (41.2-cu in.), 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.

The model year 2015 TX (49 state) and beyond receives evaporative emissions components to meet Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Clean Air Act requirements.

This engine has several performance and reliability features:

• Overhead valve design for greater efficiency and fuel economy

• Oil filter is standard on the Gator TX 4X2 engine

• Replaceable single-element air cleaner with remote intake

• Large-capacity spark-arresting muffler

• Gator TX 4X2: 1.3 L/hr (0.35 U.S. gph)

• EPA compliant

Power is transmitted from the engine, through a continuously variable clutch system, to a transaxle. Power is transmitted from the transaxle directly to the rear axle.

Key elements of the drive system are as follows:

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.

• 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

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.

The transaxle is fully enclosed and runs in oil for reliability.

Helical gears are used for quiet operation.

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

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

One-piece forged axles are splined for maximum strength.

• Large, sealed bearings for better protection and load-carrying capabilities

• Forged-splined shaft for increased torsional strength

• Nodular cast-iron housing for increased durability
