Dropped my gator xuv off at a high performance injection service yanmar dealer. He said he would love to tinker with it a few days. He told me that he has good luck finding some hidden horsepower in those yanmar's. Hope it works out, had a hpx traded it in because they talked up those xuv's not that much better. I guess fuel too was better when I had the hpx. Will let you know the outcome in a few days.

Welcome to TBN Joe. Can't wait to hear how it turns out.

I do not have an issue with the power on my gator. But if I was looking for more, I would work on the clutch before getting into higher $$$ stuff in the motor. I don't doubt that you can get some power out of the motor with money, but the clutch is your limiting factor, no matter what you do.

Got the gator back today 167 dollars with a slip, without 150 dollars. They shimmed the injectors, turned the pump up and made a intake mod. Looks like the had the intake off. 4 hours labor. To my findings they do all worked for my local john deere dealer, so they said they wont tell if I don't with the warranty but its almost over any how. Runs great, I live in the hills, there is only up hill and down hill. The xuv will go 30 mph up hill now. It does trail a little gray smoke when pullin hard but not all the time. There is no different drivabilty difference I can see other than that. Don't get me wrong the gator seemed like it would pull a brick school house over before but traveling up a township road to get to next pasture it would lose speed going up hill. I highly recommend this to people that have this trouble. They also said that these engines are cut way back for emissions. I didn't notice that it used any more fuel today but I am sure it will. My wife notice the difference. I am really pleased. The xuv does the same top speed which is fine for me. THAT IS MY FINDINGS hope it help someone out there.
