850d gator
My Gator starts in almost any weather. I do keep it in the garage and if it is extremely cold I plug in the block heater. Starting is never an issue for me and the Yanmar is a good engine. I just have issues with the cab noise, brakes chattering, and the weak drive train.

Just recently broke a CV joint. The axle and joint are replaced together and cost about $100 and the boot was about $20, very easy to fix.
Dust in the cab is unpleasant. I bought the cab to keep spray mist from getting on me and also for warmth during snow removal.
Good luck with your purchase, keep in touch.

I want to remove the snow plow that came with the gator for the summer. The easiest way leaves the hydraulic cylinder hanging down--the other way requires a fair amount of disassembly. Anyone know a quick easy way?? thks

I live in northern NJ. On the diesel--make sure u either keep it in a warm area or add anti-freeze. I find that it sputters when u start in the winter from diesel gel.
Did you get the cab cover--if yes, i hate to warn you, but it is very loud and we wear ear protection when it is all closed up in the winter.
Does excellent job in finishing up snow-plowing.....i put chains on. I am having some issues in finding an easy way to take the plow off without having the hydraulic cylinder hanging down. If u know of any solution, please let me know.
thks
