Well, as of today I'm officially a Gator owner. Can't say enough good things about my dealer in Lawrence, Kansas, who worked with me to make sure I would be happy with my new machine. And thanks to those of you who responded to my question about wiring for lights.
Part of my decision was helped by along by having run my nephew's 825i up at our farm. His has the poly roof but no windshield or doors. And his doesn't have power steering.
So, I got my XUV 825i with power steering, deluxe cab, doors, mirrors, high back sport seats, front work lights, factory blade (full hydraulic), markers, deflector, shoes and poly blade. Decided that I was ready to stay out of the wind in the winter! I'm ordering seat covers next week, but still trying to decide about rear lights. Depending on how good the front work lights are, I may buy some LED's for the front and move the front lights to the back. We'll see......I'm still looking for an LED map light on a flexible wand for the cigarette lighter that I remember seeing somewhere but can't recall now, instead of the factory interior light. And I'm still looking at sprayers for killing thistles at the farm. I need something with a boom and wand for spot
spraying those and other weeds. At my age I can't keep up with weeds with just a shovel. If I've gotta get older, I otta get smarter!
Anyway, I'm glad to be here on this site as another proud Gator owner.
