Considering our first gator. Either the HPX815E or the XUV560E

I can't find what brand gas engine is in the 560E
Our 2016 XUV560 has a Briggs & Stratton Vanguard.
I believe the XUV560e has the same engine.
 
How long many hours/miles do you have on yours? How is the engine?
~250 hours.
Early on I did have a concern about gas getting in the oil (apparently a lot of SxS have this issue), all that went away the day after I pulled this around for for a couple of hours...



If you're really considering an XUV, I'd suggest you look at the XUV590e instead of the 560e. I compared the two when I purchased mine and it took me about three seconds to rule out the 560. Going to the 590 gets you electronic fuel injection instead of a carburetor, and 32HP instead of 16.
I didn't like the power curve on the 590. It seems the torque only shows up at darn near max RPM's
