I think I read somewhere they dropped the Diesel cat for 09. It was expensive and way underpowered. The Tcats last year were similar in price with 3 times the hp and torque. The Diesels I believed topped out about 40mph and took there own sweet time to get up there. I like the concept of a diesel quad, but only if they were to build one with a turbo on it. Normal asperated diesel just do not work well in that small a motor or really any size really. Unless the only goal the buyer has is to have a machine that burns ag fuel as apposed to gas, they would be much better off with a 700 or 950 gas model.

Is it torque-y at all? Or is it just a pig?

The feeling I have ...from what i seen ...it's just a pig...the only thing its got going for it is that its a diesel...and how much is that considering diesel costs more than gas now?

This is the 700 diesel we're talkin about right? Man that sounds like 200cc power.

Too bad. The Ag users surely would've jumped on it if it was slow but powerful... What a waste!
