Live in GA, hunt in KS and I picked up a 2017 Massimo MSU500 and so far just love this thing. I'm lightly customizing it now. Definitely better than my old Grizzly 660 for my current KS hunting. Ill be picking your brains for info so thanks in advance to you pros for all your help and advice.

I have a popping noise that kinda sounds like rocks clinkin on acceleration. The sound is coming from under the center console area between the two seats. I have an Axis 500 with 70 hours Any help is appreciated

Do some research on a product called Flatout. It is available in different formulas on Amazon. I use it in my mowers and have been well pleased. It supposedly is all the military uses on theit equipment, water soluble and not messy llike slime. Its main ingredient is kevlar particles and supposedly can stop a leak in a 1/2" puncture. The sportsman formula is 22 dollars a bottle. This should treat one or maybe two tires. cheap enough to try a test before spending hundreds on tires. I like the product and I am not affiliated with the sale of it. It might also be available in gal containers if you like it. https://www.amazon.com/FlatOut-Sportsman-Off-Road-Only-32-Ounce-Replacement/dp/B08X6JSXB8/ref=sr_1_2?crid=FZ49C5QIMOQ1&keywords=flat%2Bout&qid=1653102745&sprefix=flat%2Bout%2Caps%2C129&sr=8-2&th=1

Yep, much better for hauling stands and everything else. Although it's a little harder to load a big buck in the dump bed than it was to drag one across the atv. I picked up a chain-on hoist after last season! https://www.amazon.com/Viking-Solutions-VS-VHK001-Game-Processing/dp/B00KTMXNTY/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1YOHK2JY2Q450&keywords=hoist+game&qid=1652957591&sprefix=hoist+game%2Caps%2C155&sr=8-6

We used to run an old pickup truck around the deer lease in West Texas and flats were an everyday occurrence. We took all the tires off, went to the John Deer dealer who filled them with some kind of gel solution that maintained some ride quality but for the five years after that, we never had a flat however, they would not balance to the point where we could drive it on the highway.

Around here, most people use Slime for the occasional mesquite thorn. I use it in the mower tires, but it certainly has its limits. Don't know if they'd be tough enough for the swamp. But it looks like tires-n-such has taken over the Essex line of kevlar belted, run flat sidewall mud tread 6 ply tires. They're not cheap though. But they're made to hold up a heavy UTV, even when flat. After that, it's probably going to be the expensive, solid tires.
