This has been keeping me in the shop and out of the cold for the last 3 or 4 days. Its a JohnDeere stretch side by side, four seater. Apparently its not nearly as tough as the tree it hit. Caught the right A frame and bent the frame sideways far enough to snap the input shaft on the diff. Then the impact went up bending pretty much every member in the front end.
Made new front rails and A frame mounts then had to twist cut and bend everything back to fit them.
Waiting for the owner to get the gear set for the diff, and right strut. Still have to weld the aluminium rack and pinion housing back together and see what can be done with the bush (or should we say grass guard).

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
