620i vs 850D questions

I don't know if they have a gas without road taxes but for my diesel anyway it's a good 40-50 cents cheaper a gallon because it is for farm equipment and you don't need to pay any taxes on it.

If I was using the XUV for farm use only.
I would only have the diesel.
Someone could make some money if they came up with a clutch enclosure for the diesel.
I've heard that its very difficult because of the flywheel?

if someone was close enogh to me and had a deisel hpx or xuv i would be happy to make one but there is no around with one my feeling is where there is a will theres a way. and if it's made out of iron i can make it. so if some one is close to me and has a deisel unit i will be glad to give it a shot all i need is a test unit.

any truth to the rumor that JD may release the diesel version with the olive 'trail' color scheme?

Vics,

The plan is that the Trail Gator in diesel trim will be out late summer. That is the latest I have heard. Seems like a good idea. Either clean or dirty they look bad to me. One of the guys in the JD shop at my dealer has a gasoline XUV. It looks dull and about 20 years old, even though he washes it weekly and it has 25 hours on it.

if you wanna keep your plastic lookin new just spray it down with son-of-a-gun tire cleaner and then wipe it down it will leave a oily film on it and leave it nice and glossy.if you just wash it and dry it the plastic will fade and then become dry and eventualy crack after time.plus as long as you have a little oily coat ont it the mud don't stick so hard to it and it cleans up easier.

That is a good idea. Furniture polish also works well or any spray wax, particularly on color-impregnated plastic panels. Unfortunately Tommy all the Son of a Gun in the world will not change that stomach-churning trail gator green. Some people like it, but I do not know who they might be.

If they do come out with a diesel trail XUV that pretty much mean they have to have a clutch enclosure... Hmmmm...

Crap I need a new car though...
