Well I’m assuming there aren’t many of ‘us’ out there, judging by the lack of response to the search queries I’ve tried…but I’ll throw this out to the general Sportsman 850 group and perhaps someone will ‘know someone’ who might be able to direct me to what I’m looking for, namely, accessories for the front and rear deck areas.

I bought this machine to complement my primary gardening/landscaping workhorse, the Kubota RTV1200C. We have a large property which requires a fair amount of maintenance this time of year, and for some of the areas, ( like the smaller pathways in the evergreen plantation ), the RTV is just too big to take thru without causing damage to the surrounding installations. The ATV is just the right size, and the NPT tires are fairly easy on the turf with their low tread/flat profile. It also has to be able to pull a 225 gallon water wagon, which it does without too much effort, ( the RTV does it effortlessly…).

BUT…I need to be able to pile equipment, ( pruners, shears, shovel, chain saw(s), etc ) on the rear deck…hence my question.

Does anyone know of a source of accessories that would add to the functionality of the rear, and/or front deck on this machine? The dealer said I could use the 850XP stuff, it would require some drilling and adapting but could work…I was hoping for something more efficient than an a ‘Mc’Giver’d’ solution.

Cheers,
Jim
