Only John Deere would call this an entry-level vehicle! Like the rest of the family, our smallest Cross-Over UtilityVehicle is still a heavy-duty workhorse with independent suspension, 4WD and disc brakes all round. Two forward speeds and a 16hp (12 kW) engine gives you versatility to get the job done.
To complement the comfortable operation station, the XUV560 and XUV590i is equipped with four-wheel independent suspension. This unique suspension set-up provides an unparalleled ride over challenging terrain and excellent handling through corners.
The engineering team, in collaboration with engineering firms that consult with Formula 1®, NASCAR®, and INDYCAR® teams, built a capable suspension system for class-leading operator comfort no matter what the terrain.

The Gator™ XUV560 Crossover Series Utility Vehicles are powered by a 34.8 cu in. (570-cm3), V-twin gasoline engine. The carburetor is tuned for rapid throttle response, reliable cold-weather starting, smooth mid-range power delivery and quiet idling.
The engine offers the following performance and reliability features:
* 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 cargo box consists of a high-density polyethylene copolymer composite material that eliminates rust, dents, and reduces noise. This large, one-piece design has rounded inside corners to ensure material removal when tilted. The composite box is highly ribbed and supported with a welded, steel-ladder structure to ensure hard-driving performance and longevity. The three highly styled exterior pieces are made of TPO for extra durability.
The tailgate can be opened or removed for easier cleanout and to carry longer items. It features truck-like performance and can be operated with one hand.
The tailgate’s pivot point is made of hardened steel for durability and designed for tool-free removal. The standard lanyards can also be disconnected without tools to remove the tailgate for convenient loading and unloading tasks.

The cargo box ease of use is critical to performing tasks quickly and efficiently. Starting with the truck-style tailgate, the removal of content in this cargo box could not be easier. The manual release functions as the lift lever as well, done in a smooth, one-step motion. It can even be tilted from both sides of the vehicle. To reduce the overall effort of lift, the pivot point of the cargo box is closer to the center. The combination of easy to use attributes makes this cargo box best-in-class.
For servicing the vehicle’s systems, the cargo box is easily removable. With the removal of two bolts, the cargo box can easily be detached from the vehicle frame.
The cargo box offers integrated tie-down points for increased versatility. Tie-down points are located in the following areas:
Optional accessories for the cargo box include (see price pages or JDConfigurator for complete list):

This accessory is easy to attach to, and remove from, the cargo box rails, thanks to the quick-clamp mounting system. The tailgate is able to be opened and closed while the extensions remain in place, allowing for easy dumping.
NOTE: Not compatible with operator protection system (OPS) poly cab.
