Not sure if this would be an option for your 550: I'm using a 72" KFI plow on my Hisun Sector 750 - works well. Driveway is 350'+ x 12'. One pass down the middle and then one on either side. (photo is UTV with plow at the dealer's - was delivered that way). Note - need to manually adjust plow angle. -
I bought a new Hisun Sector 750 in Jan. 2021 mainly due to price and features. I also bought a plow with it to clear snow from my 350' driveway during the 2021 winter since we couldn't go south due to covid. Like Alien10 I use it primarily to haul firewood on our 75ac property and although licensed and insured I rarely take it out on the public roads. I don't abuse it but don't baby it either. I've used the winch a lot to haul large logs out of the bush to where I can easily cut them up and haul the pieces back to my wood pile. Other than the first winter, it's stored in an uninsulated shed in the winter - only storage prep is to add and circulate sufficient fuel stabilizer. I've left the battery in and cables attached - so far it has fired right up in the spring. I have about 75 hours on the clock. As for maintenance, other than oil changes, I've been fortunate - just an issue with steering last spring when it would suddenly jerk to the left while driving in a straight line. It was an intermittent and baffling problem. Also fortunately I found a sales/repair shop 10 miles from me that also handles Hisun and they were able to solve the problem. All in all, I've had a positive experience with my UTV and it's doing what I need it to do. YMMV

My Hisun 550 with Coleman Outfitter stickers, is a Vietnamese based machine. At least that is what the tag on the frame says. I understand these machines are partly assembled in Texas, likely with Chinese engines and transmissions, and maybe with the Vietnamese frames. It is a fairly crude machine. Don't expect quiet ride or easy maneuvering. Steering can be a chore in rough areas but serves the purpose. Its a serviceable worker, but hard to explain. The feel is like what you get from a compact tractor, functional but a bit rough around the edges. Mine has run OK for almost 100 hours with only a few minor items going wrong, all fixed by me. E Brake is awful, very stiff and has limited adjustment and stiff shifting. You need to keep an eye on it as it can start to slip on hillsides. Parts availability seems a bit sparse as are the details of the 550's technical manual. Overall, it has run and started OK even in this week's zero degrees F and wind. Mine is used mainly for property maintenance and hauling fire wood out of the woods to the barn for processing/splitting and other maintenance chores. Nice to have a winch, roof, windshield, and a pick up style tail gate with dumping bed. I do not go trail riding with it. I use care in operating it in the woods after downed trees for firewood, and not much open road work. 25 to 30 MPH is plenty on our country dirt road. I've carried a full load of logs up a very steep hill in 4 WD and it handled it just fine. Access to engine is not great without removing seats panels and skid plates. Even the bed came off for better access to the Ebrake unit. Oil changes require a lot of rags, and brake kleen to clean up after. Seems to have adequate power in LOW, and even plenty of speed in LOW for work I do. Not a luxury machine for sure. Cost was a factor for me but it does what I ask of it so far.
