What ATV, side by side or UTV do you have.

Like that John Deere!

Here's a pic of my Polaris Ranger 400.

I have an '11 Gator 855D. Use it every day.

Jesse1.... far to clean. I have an 855D too....and it is filthy compared to yours.

Jesse1 or Roy Jackson....have either of you done anything for interior lightening? At night, you get in the gator, and since it doesn't have the instrument gauges, the dash is completely dark. I can locate the key instinctively, but I can't find the light switch. Somehow I need to get a low level light to come on.

I haven't added an interior light yet.
Deere does have an interior light kit. I doubt I go that direction due to the cost. You can buy battery powered lights pretty cheaply, or you could use a 12v map light that plugs in to your 12v outlet. I have one of these...haven't used it yet (actually, just thought of it when typing this thread). In fact, I think I'll try that tomorrow.

It was brand new in those pictures, hadn't even had it in the pasture yet. Not quite that clean now.

Jeez, I can hardly see the Kubota with that camy color scheme

I have the same machine...they are great!
Bought the work lamp kit (not installed yet though) and I'll want a windshield sooner or later

I can highly recommend a "ventilated" or "flip out" windshield. There are many after market companies that make them to fit any model UTV.

Closed.


Open, surprising how much air flows in.

Is that a factory windshield, or aftermarket?
If aftermarket, who is the seller?

Factory, but if you google the part number, there are other online sellers that show up.

Like this one: Polaris - 2877856 - GLASS WINDSHIELD,VENTED, MIDSI

As a follow up, I did try out the 12v Map Light.
Pic A is with the lamp off, pic B is with it on.

Now, the 12v outlet on the Gator dash is not switched, so if you leave it on when you shut your engine off, the light stays on (and could drain your battery after a while).
This is a cheap alternative (less then 10 bucks if you buy one). The one shown in the pictures was left here by the previous owners of our house.
