About to order a 825i - need a little help
Due to the long distance (I'm located in Denmark) shipping costs makes it pretty expensive to add things later, so I need to do it right from the start. Any chance you guys could look through the list below and give me your thoughts?
Is there anything I'll regret I added, or didn't add?
Does anything conflict with each other (no red lights when going through the "Build Your Own" feature on JD's site)?
A dealer in US will add the things to the machine before shipment.
The list:
Thanks for building your Gator XUV 825i.

Looks pretty loaded. You may want to consider a winch though the JD is pretty pricy and small but unless you can get one over there and add later it may be a good idea. Of course this depends on how you are going to be using it. Off roading and in the mud it will come in handy. One other thing you may want to wait till they announce to see the 2012 if there are any changes you may like. Good luck with your Gator looks like it will be one sweet ride.

Thanks greg825i,
My brother use his 620i with winch on the same type terrain as I'll be using mine and he has never used his winch, so for now I'll pass on it. But I'll remember you words, the first time I'm stock somewhere :-)
You're right I might regret I didn't wait to see, what the 2012 model brings, but if waiting, I doubt I'll get a machine before next year?
Thanks for the input. It's much appreciated.

You may want to consider the maxxis big horn tire option, They are radials and ride alot better than the ancla's

Great configuration.
Yes, (3) additional inexpensive items you want to consider.
1. Front Rack. When I configurated my gator, I was told that the front rack was not available with the Delux Cab. I assume they are concerned about a clearance problem when raising the windshield. At the dealer, I took the front rack from a gator without the deluxe cab and put it on one with the cab. No issue great fit. The windshield can open a few inches for ventilation and when you want to open it all the way, just lean the rack forward and raise the windshield. I now have the deluxe cab with the rack, ordered separately.
2. I ordered the side mirrors for the deluxe cab. I like these, they tighten securely in place, yet they can be folded in, when required to several detent positions.
3. I see that you don’t believe you need a winch at this time. I did not order the winch, but I did order the JD mounting kit and bought and installed an XT winch, I wanted synthetic rope and the standard JD winch has wire cable and costs too much. The mounting kit is specific for the gator so if you might consider a winch in the future, the kit for now may be a good thing to consider. These are the part numbers. I also bought the nuts and bolts but any misc hardware should work.

I'm tempted, but are they really for $700 better? Will I get less vibration, or.......? And how will they act in snow?
Thanks.

I'm not going to carry much, so the room at the back is way enough, so not getting the front rack is OK.
I sure will add mirrors, but on another thread ( https://johndeeregatorforum.com/forum...addition/page3 ), someone said the JD ones vibrates so much, they're almost useless. He found better and cheaper ones on eBay. Wonder if they'll work on one with doors?
Good idea with the bracket etc. for the winch. I'll order those things.
Thanks alot.

Paul, I looked at the link that discussed the mirrors. The mirrors look sturdy but will not mount on the delux cab, the close fit integrated windshield will not permit mounting. My delux cab mirrors do not look as sturdy but I have absolutely no mirror vibration. The cab is solid and the mirror mount is part of the cab frame. Also it will not matter if the doors are on or off, or if the windshield is closed or partly open. I have no complaints with these mirrors.

Yes the maxxis tires are worth the extra money, the steel wheels are 12 inch, included in the 700.00 dollars are 14 inch wheels with the maxxis tires, more ground clearance and a great looking wheel, and I hear they are great in snow. IMHO

Charlie,
Thank you for explaining this - I will add the mirrors to the list.
