Gas ? Diesel ?

Im in the same boat. I even went to Goodridge farm Equipment today fully expecting to buy a gas xuv. When I got there was walking around and my wife out of the blue asked what about the diesel gator? That did it!!! Back home and back to try to decide again. Tom the sales guy just laughs and says "let me know when your ready" Mike

If you go through water or snow the diesel will not perform as well as the gas.
My brother has the diesel and it is a fine machine.
I have the gas model and I can go through water above the floorboards with out any problem.
Try that with a diesel and your belt will slip, and it will cause premature belt failure~!

It can be above the floorboards it's just going to take a little longer. But if you ever really expect to be doing that and you don't have a good reason to go with diesel for god sakes get the gas already.

Will you order one, or do they have the one you want in stock? If ordering, how long are they quoting for delivery?

Hey vics, they do have one in-stock but its a demo. I will order one and they told me 3-4 weeks. Im getting the JD green 620i with a bed liner and one of those slip over covers, also the front reciever. My bid came to $9689 including 8% tax. Mike

Okay thanks, I guess that has to do with the open clutch design on the diesel model that some posters mentioned? I'm a newbie to these utility vehicles, so this is all new to me.
