“It was a little different because you have to rev it up a little to get it to engage, but you get used to it,” said Mitchell.Ĩ39cc V-Twin engine produces 62 horsepower & 59.5 foot pounds of torque The John Deere Gator RSX850i also features engine braking as well, which takes a little getting used to, but is a good feature when descending steep terrain because when the engine braking engages it helps with reducing brake fade.
Also, the RSX 850i is equipped with an automotive style parking brake and puts the machine into limp mode if you forget to dis-engage it, which prevent you from burning up the parking brake. We feel that more front brake force should be applied to stop the vehicle quicker, but unless you are traveling at a high speed, the brakes perform great at slower speeds. The braking on the Gator RSX 850i is adequate with a rear brake basis when slamming on the brakes, so it tends to slide more than expected when trying to make a quick stop. The RSX also features engine braking which help wear on the brake pads Part Number AM148144 Serial No.SxS / UTV has predictable steering with adequate braking. Out of curiosity, how many miles/hours are on the machine if it needs brakes already. It will help others as these machines begin to age. When you find replacements please post the JD stock number and the replacement manufacture and p/n. You'll have to investigate on your own though. Example: Brembo Can-amĮBC brakes might make replacements as they make for other UTV. If so you'll have better luck in the aftermarket. There are also times when a commodity item like brakes is the same as other brands. IE: the ones linked above also fit a 550 or 560. Sometimes searching on other models that are known to be similar helps uncover more choices. I found the following that I think are still pricey, but better than what you've found (if they work). Many time parts are referenced by their SN break and not manufacture date. It might help if you post the PN you need and perhaps a picture, especially since you said they look different than what others have found. What's wrong with $117 per wheel when you know it is JD quality? It's crazy how bad they want to squeeze the customer.
