@ACEngineering have you encountered any? I quite fancy something smallish, and there seems to be a few s/h ones out there.

Only worked on one years ago. A 2005.

Great machine imo! Bad fan on it. It's a blower not a sucker! So it hovers up dust/straw underneath as you drive along and blocks the rad on the fan side which you cant see. Would be better with a sucker fan that sucks fresh air from back of machine.

Stay off the soft ground and it's a decent little machine.
