I was on the John Deere website because i was bored, and they now make an 850d in the olive green colors. I'm not sure about the clutch enclosure though.

I finally sold my HPX and picked up my XUV last Friday. Love it. Front end is making noise like I've seen some other people report. I called the dealer and they said they've had several come back. Most of them they reset the backlash on the pinion gear to spec and on one unit they had to replace the entire front differential.
Otherwise I can't complain.

kinda makes you wonder if all the ones riding around and the dealers are telling them that it's normal to make the noise that they are just tearing up thier front diferentials little by little ?? then after the warranty is out your on your own. some dealers are honest and some will just feed you a line of bull just to get you out the door or off the phone. it seems like your dealer is a honest one .atleast he told you they had some come back and told you they are having problems with them.i asked the dealer by my house about them and he said what noise??me no hear no noise ?there are no problems! and i heard the noise when i drove it it was noisier than my hpx that's for sure.

just don't get it wet. or you could make a trip down here one day with it and we could see about makin a guard for it.
you can usually get em wet but can't have a load and can't expect much power coming out of something. I've gone through water up to my floorboards and above but then had to wait a bit on the side of my creek before I could have the power to make it up all the way.

just think of some sand paper grit on the sides of the clutchs that wouldmake them belts grab wether they was wet or not. and you could only put it so for down the side that way at idol speed it wouldn't be rubbing on the grit but if you gunned it and the belt really sunk down into the clutch it would grab on the gritty sides.i have been think if this for a while .

I now have a rear view mirror for my XUV. I didn't want side mirrors cuz would knock them off going thru the brush but have the rear shield. I bought a wireless backup security camera for $80 from Costco (They have them at Target and Wal Mart for $99) Installed the camera on the shield and the display on the dash. Runs off the cigarette lighter. Works great!
