That X595 has the same engine as the XUV. Notice it also has wheel weights and some sort of i beam attached underneath. Personally I'm surprised the tractor didn't win~!Robert_in_NY said:

I knew the lawn mower wasn't a Home Depot special but I would think both units would be at minimum equal weight if the XUV didn't edge it. Plus, the X595 has turf tires on it from the looks and the XUV has what appear to be standard ATV tires. If you figure equal weight and equal power then traction should easily have been in the XUV's favor so unless the X595 is made from lead why wouldn't the XUV pull the tractor backwards

What about the guy who had the bright idea to stand on the rear bumper of the ranger as the RTV tried to yank it out
Second try he smartened up and hopped into the box and is lucky he didn't bust his head open when the RTV yanked on it.

The X595 has lower gearing. They look evenly matched.Robert_in_NY said:unless the X595 is made from lead why wouldn't the XUV pull the tractor backwards

What good is gearing without traction?Skipholiday said:The X595 has lower gearing. They look evenly matched.

Both were spinning. I would like to see it on asphalt. Just not with mine.
I'm sure the diesel xuv would out pull the gas model..
