2005 Gator HPX

[sargex595]

I bought a used 2005 Gator HPX diesel with 130 hrs. It has the hydraulic dump, 2500 yamaha winch, bed liner and a extra set of all purpose tires. The steering seems really stiff. I just dropped it off at a John Deere Dealer so they could do a complete service. Is there anything that I should know about this year and make gator or anything I should be looking out for?

I have an '04 HPX diesel with 650 hrs. So far it's been reliable with only a clutch and cv boots last year. The steering works smooth. I don't know why yours would be extra stiff unless a bearing in the steering column is binding. Make sure your front tires are inflated to at least 10 psi. Low pressure makes for more steering effort.
