Gas or Diesel

[cat2]

Which one and why. Thinking about a new HPX 4x4.

Diesel because it will fit your needs a whole lot better.

 

[cat2]

thats what i thought too. do you think the price of the hpx will go down any because the xuv's are out? what would a hpx cost? diesel power dump front brush guard floor mat bed liner

That was supposed to be read with a lot of sarcasm... You never told us your needs so how can I make a recommendation based on your needs?

The price already went down. For the cost go to JD website and fiddle around with their "build you own" utility.

What are your needs?

Any deep water crossings?

The diesel hpx doesn't have a clutch enclosure option.

Diesel engine should outlast the gas model.

it all depends on your needs.

Sorry about that. I live on a farm. I drive around alot looking at the crops, pull empty wagons around, pick stones, plow snow in the winter, haul fire wood for the neigbor, thats all i can think of now. if i think of anythig else i'll let you guys no. Right now i have a 4x2 gator. No there isn't any deep water

Sounds like you will be using your machine more for work than play; go diesel.

 

[cat2]

the hpx will let me do way more things than the 4x2 could even dream of.

 

[darkday]

If you get by with a 4x2 you will be amazed with a hpx. Diesel will get a bit better milage and if you have a diesel tank sitting on your property that uses the non road tax diesel you will be saving money. If you don't have a diesel tank it might be worth looking into the gas for the money saved in the initial purchase. If you plan on keeping it for years and years the diesel would also be in your best interest.

 

[cat2]

yes i have a diesel tank on the farm. gas tank too. is there anything i can do to the hpx to make it go faster i heard that you could

 

[darkday]

Only on the gas one. I can't remember what all exactly but I know turning the screw under the gas pedal is one easy way to do it. I think you can mess with the carb and get some more speed out of it.

 

[cat2]

had the gator stuck today. wish i had the 4x4 diesel

Get the all terrain tire with it and you will love it to death.
