Just out of curiosity, besides engine power and engine type, gas or diesel, what are the differences between these 4 tractors? Does 4 HP make a huge difference?
:thanku:
If I recall correctly:
X465= air cooled/carb/2wd
X475= liquid cooled/carb/2wd
X485= liquid cooled/fuel injection/2wd
X495= liquid cooled/diesel/2wd
Personally, in a machine of this caliber, I would want a liquid cooled engine, and probably fuel injection. But I might even consider the x465 if I lived in a cooler climate.
And all of the above X400 series could also Be Had In All Wheel Steer as well :thThumbsU

And why is the x465 the red-headed stepchild of that series? Was it the air-cooled engine?
I don't think I've ever seen an owner of one post here.

I don't really know why the x465 was always looked down appon. I think it's a great little tractor, it has never had any engine problems and it is going on 1,000 hours. When I bought my x485 all I noticed was it was much quieter and didn't give the black puff of smoke on start up.

Thanks for all the replys! I am surprised how different these models are. I agree in that the x465 is rare. You look on eBay and Craigslist and machine finder and there is next to nothing. Not to change the subject, but is the diesel that much more work to maintain? I mean you are going to have to clean a gas tractor too if you want it to run for years. Seems like disels start nicely in the winter just like a gas model does and you get a little more torque for blowing snow or whatever. Again thanks for all the replys! :thThumbsU

Here are some pictures of my X465...
I ask that question about diesels because of the additives in winter. Do you need them? Wat exactly do they do?
