What does everyone use for a bed mat
Wondering if anybody has found a better bed mat for an 825i than:
- John Deere's overpriced bed mat
- the Tractor Supply 4 ft by 6ft by 3/4 inch stall mat
- Tractor Supply's 3 x 4 x 1/2 mat is too small & would need to be pieced together
I use the Tractor Supply mat & throw lots of wood into the dump bed in the Fall, the 3/4 inch protects it well, but is heavy & I've began to notice some surface rust b/c I don't always remember to pull that heavy mat out so the bed can dry / air out.
Where has everybody else gotten a bed mat from? Please post any links for websites. Any help is appreciated. I got to remember to get the sand paper & plasti kote ready Tuesday morning.

Green Parts Store and Green Farm Parts have the mats. I believe they around 125.00

And that price (crazy, IMHO) is why I don't purchase them from John Deere. I know someone who has a OEM mat for their machine & it's got a small tear in it, nothing major. He uses the machine & has a plastic dump box.

I use a mat that I had in my horse trailer not that heavy and works well , but you do need to pull it out and clean and dry out bed , haven't had any rust but I take it out about once a month and clean out bed .John Deere is way over priced on everything . I had an auto repair business and a resale license that gave me a discount on everything , but John Deere wouldn't give me a break on anything , the Gator is great but there prices including floor mats are way out of line, and they should give us at least a 2 year warranty for the amount of money we spend on these machines
