Hello from Tennessee
I bought my wife a 855D last fall. She has wanted a Gator for years and after we built our home in the woods last year on our farm, I figured it would be a welcome addition to our group of John Deere Tractors, garden tractors, lawn tractors and commercial mowers we have. She doesn't realize it (yeah, right), but I probably get as much enjoyment out of the 855D as she does. The 855D came with the factory brush guards on it, a electric/hydraulic dump bed, factory sprayed on bed liner and we added the black poly roof and the (poly?) windshield from the stealership. Being this is the first winter we have had it, we are already talking about adding doors and a back window to it for next winter, as going for rides @ 30+ MPH on a 20 deg day gets a little chilly, even though we can feel some heat coming from the radiator through the firewall. Overall, we have really enjoyed using the Gator on our farm. I have gotten stuck only one time and that was because it got high centered on a log in the middle of a muddy logging road. I wasn't so much stuck as it was "levitating". I had to get my daughters boyfriend to drive my Deere 5055D 4 miles back on the muddy logging road in the middle of a snow storm to push us off of the log. Ah, fond memories. I will post some pics as I get the chance to. Awe, what the heck, here is one of the 855D at work pulling cedar trees in our woods. The wife is driving.

Welcome Smilingreen,
Great pics, seems you have a never ending brush pile like me. You pile it up, burn it, then another round of wind hits. The gator sure does make it fun though
