[UrbanTractor]

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

Good point, Sergeant!!

When I posted above, I almost added: "But wait to hear what Sergeant has to say first!" :thanku:

Diesel power and durability is fantastic, and they are no more difficult (probably easier) to maintain than gas.

That said, any of these X4x5, X5x5, X7xx models are great machines. A liquid cooled, 4WD/AWD/AWS Diesel would be my preference, but I wouldn't scoff at any one of them. When you're shopping the used market, sometimes you have to be more flexible on which model you'll take due to availability.

Heck, my little single cylinder, 8 hp, air-cooled 110 impresses me. Any X machine is light years beyond.
