Hello, thinking of getting a new 825I. Got an Arctic Cat Prowler now.

[purplewg]

There is really nice Artic Cat Prowler down here that has been for sale for over a year with 52 hours on it. Price seems decent. Don't know why it hasn't sold.

Welcome to the forum, what part of Indiana? I am from the Lafayette area.

Welcome aboard Joe ! The 825 has moved up on the list of one of my best purchases, above the Jeep and above the Harley. It works & plays very well !

Welcome to the "Forum", wishing you the very best and look forward to swaping ideas.

Go ahead and a 825I. You will leave that arctic cat at home for the kidos. My 825i gets more attention than any jeep or harley Iv owned for sure. Lol.

are you getting a 2011 or 12?

[Joedirt]

Never asked. They have several 2011 in stock but not with my options. I'm guessing a 2012. I ordered a a new combine in July and it will be here end of December an it's a 12. Also ordered the Unisteer from Wicked so I'll have power steering. I'll find out tomorrow what year. Is there any difference in a 2011 2012 other then factory power steering?

No camo, it's green an yellow. Is yours a 2011 or 2012?

[CaptDan]

Their computer tells everyone it will take a month, it's their default minimum time frame for delivery in case of transportation issues etc. Only when they know it will be longer do they increase the expected delivery date. A friend recently ordered his on a Saturday, they told him it would be delivered in 4 weeks, that following Friday, only 6 days later, the dealer called and said it had arrived.

When I ordered mine they said it would be 6 weeks until delivery and it arrived in the middle of the fourth week and this was spring time their busy season.

Just talked to dealer order guy. He said December 9th is the ship date. But generally it takes 10 days. And also was told anything built after October is a 2012.

[fire gator]

[calif.33]

I have 110 hrs on mine 2011 .My wife drives it more I do.I have a bad leg from a tractor accident so is easy for me to get on and off. Great machine.

welcome to the forum. I am from the noblesville indiana area. You will not regret your purchase. I too get more attention(positive) than any other "toy" i've ever owned. Let me know if I can ever help or answer any questions as I have owned an 825 since this summer

[Joedirt]

Just got it today! Wow that engine is sweet! Let the mods begin. :Thmup:

[hornadylnl]

Looks like Indiana has quite a contingency here.

[Joedirt]

That's cause there's a Deere dealer every 25 miles.:lol:

[trussman]

I would agree with Joe there are a lot of dealers here, especially in the northern 1/2. Plus have you ever met an unfriendly Hoosier????


Only when they get beat by Purdue!!!!:Wlys: okay bad joke.

[kmjd44]

I'm a transplanted Hoosier in Michigan now - (Purdue grad too btw!)

I have been reading all of the posts on power steering. I have an 825i with the Boss V-plow and I can't take another winter without steering assist - whoever says the steering efforts are ok with that plow in the raised position must be more of a man than me (and I'm an old farm boy that's 6'2 270!).

Any of you tried the Wicked system? The posts so far range from liking it to saying there is 100% failure rates on them. Would love to know what you guys think

[Joedirt]

I put it on mine this week. Sure makes a difference but I don't have a plow though. Nice looking piece good quality. Time will tell.
