620i vs 850D questions

[Vics]

I'm trying to decide between the 620i and 850D. I've driven both but probably not long enough to come to a strong conclusion either way.

What are your thoughts....pros and cons of each?

Thanks!

i don't have iether i have a hpx but to me if your not gonna do a real lot of mud riding i would go with the 850d.

Clutch enclosure or extra power, durability, and fuel milage.

Thanks. I don't plan to do much, if any mud riding. Just driving around the acreage on dirt.

The diesel I drove felt like the powertrain engaged more smoothly than the gas version. Is that typical?

As expected, the diesel was louder than the gas when it first started, but how about when its warmed up, which one do you think is quieter, or at least more pleasing to the ear. The salesman said customers think the diesel engine is a little 'better sounding' than the gas version.

Speaking of fuel mileage, are there any estimates out there for how much fuel each version burns?

yea you get atleast a few good days of really good memories to the tank with both models . but really the carbed gas hpx gets really god gas mileage so i would imagine the efi xuv's would do even better.

Look on the JD site. I think the diesel gets double what the gas does. I use a tank in less then a week on my diesel HPX. Then again I have over 500 hours on mine in about a year.

I get about 8 to 9 engine hours per fill with my gas XUV. Mileage I couldn't tell you.
