It looks like the John Deere will have a bench seat option. Does anyone know for sure that they DO NOT have a bench seat. This is one of the aspects I enjoy most about my Ranger. I hae been letting my dad use my XUV 850d Gator, but have a buyer for it. I am debating about getting him a Ranger 500 for use now, or waiting a bit to get the new Gator, but only if it has a bench seat--he would not want buckets.
