Not only can they delete them, but 4 were rejected for various technicallities before posting.. one I got an email back telling me customer service issues were NOT ALLOWED iN REVIEWS????????????? WTF?? Another said mechanical issues were not allowed, they needed to be sent to manufacturer?? so exactly what is allowed? ONLY GLOWING REVIEWS ??......... they suck I will never go there again

according to DMV, they were not authorized by state revenue dept to collect the tax unless they would physically bring the documentation to DMV.. They were to leave that to DMV to collect at time of registration.. that was bad enough, but to take almost 2 months to refubd my DOUBLE TAXATION is beyond belief.. Al they had to do was issue credit back on my card.. And the absolute dont give a crap attitude when I called back the next day with the overheating issue was just appalling ...I left scathing reviews on both their website... they deleted every single one within a day .

oh it gets MUCH worse... When I bought it, TS charged me 10% sales tax..;{$880.00} but they did not handle registration with DMV.. gave me the paperwork to bring there.. I went straight there.. DMV processed it, then said I owed 10% sales tax plus registration fees.. I showed TS receipt for already paying sales tax . DMV said go get your money back, TS has no authority to collect DMV tax if they do not handle registration.. Went bact to TS, they said.. "oh yeah, thats right, didnt we tell you?" uh NO!!! just show us the registration and we can refund it.. I did and they say, "we will mail it to you in 3 days" .. well, I paid with my VISA, why cant you credit it back to VISA? NOPE, has to be a check... after 14 days, no check, I called.. TS said ...oh we forgot to send it to CORP.. you will have it in 3 days... 3 more weeks, I called again ... they say, they will check on it.. no one calls me back. EVER! . I call CORPORATE office and raised holy hell.. promised they would overnight check... 12 days later it arrived by REGULAR MAIL!!! IN the meantime, my MSU overheated on its first day in its first mile!..when I called TS they gave me MASSIMO phone # and thats all.. ... So Tractor Supply and Masimo Motors will never see me or a single dollar of my money ever again.. They are both horrible companies who dont give a crap about their customers

disconnect a hose or open the airbleeds at waterpump or top of head

Thats the air bleeder on the pump. should be one on top of head at water inlet too ... .. and Yep Tractor Supply told me they only SELL Masimo, they have zero to do with service or issues.. thats betwen ME AND MASSIMO,.they did not even know who was authorized shop in my state... .and have a nice day.... thats why I wont ever shop there again.. And I have a tractor and bought multiple implements from them , grader blades , 6ft rotary tiller , bush hog etc. and 2 riding mowers .. wont buy anything else there

thats what they said , I dont know.. but if you look on ebay where they are selling them, its 6 months warranty.. you can buy 1yr for additional charge.. but it says PARTS ONLY ? They really are a bottom feeder company.. I just hope mine continues to work long enough to get some use out of it for my $8800 ..

Cant really say, I have not owned any other brand Side By side.. all my 4 wheelers are HONDAS.. Those damn things are bullet proof.. you can beat them all day long, and nothing breaks.. But when riding with other guys, the MSU does about as well as most in mudd.. its not nearly as fast on top speed or taking off as the other guys .. and you must come to stop to change from LOW to HIGH gear or to engage 4WD or 4WD LOCK .But I did have a big grin pulling one Kawasaki Mule out of a mud hole in 4WD LOCK .. Now it was a big deep and about 150ft long hole . The HONDAS had no problem going thru at all. .. Mine always ran well, my problem was the constant overheating and absolute dismal service dept at Massimo, and the dont give a crap attitute from Tractor Supply where I bought it. And to have MASSIMO Rep tell me .. "yeah, we dumped HISUN last year . Their motors are junk" and then tell me they wont warrantee anything Hisun .. and the Linhai motors are only 6 months.. ...........They just SUCK!

mine has no drain, just take off a hose ... well, another successful outing with mine... no overheating whatsoever this weekend.. and its briutally hot here.. full time fan operation seems to be the siver bullet

8000 rpm???? holy crap!!!!

Anything I can do to help.. I wish I would have had somebody guide me thru the nightmare.. especially since now I see so many Massimos with the exact same issues I had.. and Massimo Service Dept is zero help.. an absolute joke ... Dont know if I told you before, but mine actually overheated the first time, on its first day with exactly 1 mile on it... Massimo never lifted a finger to help me after repeated calls to them.. and Tractor Supply said NOT OUR PROBLEM... pitiful BUT ITS RUNNING GOOD NOW!!!

sorry.. just can t help it .. When I think of Massimo I get irritable .. Taking mine back to Indian Bayou National Forest tomorrow .. 30 miles of trails.. lots of fun... hope it continues to perform up to expectations.. good luck with yours.. they are fun machines when they run right

Oil leak is the one thing mine never had.. knock on wood... But I agree, separate the two , clean them up and use hi-temp RTV is the only solution.. unless the bolts are loose . might check that first

Massimo does not answer emails or phone calls. and never return phone messages.. They got your monery, they could not care less what problems you have.. They arethe worst company I have ever seen. Try ordering the part online from others

Well, dont count on it... look at it this way.. General Motors owned the Airbag company in China that has killed 135 people with shrapnel from the charge going off . And to date has had 30 million airbags recalled... Chinese built is still Chinese built .. those 10 yr old supervisors cant catch all the mistakes in the factory by the 9 year olds doing the assembly

a bit of news for you.. Linhai Motors in china ... IS OWNED BY YAMAHA ... go figure

You think China cares about that stuff? They steal our military weapons and crafts secrets, build copies and sell them .. we do nothing.. Who knows if they paid Yamaha anything .. The Rhino UTV is exactly like my MSU .. I bet every part on it would fit ....thats a older version rhino below ... new MSU on right ...

The Hisun engine in mine is an exact CHINESE clone of the original Yamaha Rhino ..The Yamaha parts are just more expensive and apparently well worth it! I have no idea about the Linhai engines designs .. Massimo switched to them 2 yrs ago, because HISUN had so many problems ... In fact if I could not get this thing working, I had called a ATV/UTV engine supplier to see if a remanufactured YAMAHA engine would work.. He said yes

new Hisun Head,... Yamaha Head Gasket and Waterpump .. It ran perfectly yesterday again... If you keep these engines cool, they run well...

yeah, I liked it before. it performs well, it just was SO FREAKIN UNRELIABLE . less than 5 miles and broken , 6 straight times in the shop and Masimo Service was so horribly bad .. They actually told me they stopped using HISUN engines because they were junk and would not warrantee them .. Mine had less than 300 miles.. His exact words were....." NEVER GONNA HAPPEN" so Imagine my response . He hung up on me .. Now with some YAMAHA parts and full time fan, its working well .. I have put 200 miles on it since repairs ... NO ISSUES AT ALL

No, not me. No issues with windshield.. just too hot with it on... and yeah, Cat 5 Hurricane Laura devastated a lot of area in west LA with 150-180 mph winds and a 20foot storm surge ....but I am in central LA right on coast... we got 75mph winds and 6 feet of storm surge.. not too bad.... no damage to any of my three properties ... I am having a ball with this thing now that its working... I really enjoyed pulling my buddies Kawasaki Mule out of a big mud hole after he got stuck and I didnt on the Atchafalaya River

Cajun Country.. Down in the swamp , south Louisiana.. our temps run high 94-99* ............but its so humid the heat index runs 108* to 112* right now... I got up this morning at 5AM, it was already 88* !!! And the MSU still does not run hot!!!! FULL TIME FAN BABY! I removed the winshield on mine.. much cooler for me

Oh yeah.. I ran it all day today.. NEVER GOT HOT! and temp was near 100* today.. I m telling you, run your fan 100% , you will not regret it

good news.. these are fun when they run.. Mine seems to be cured of the dreaded Massimo overheat disease now.. running great .. It took awhile though... Im thinking the Yamaha gasket and ful time fan is the key to long term success. Enjoy yours now..

so, whats the verdict? Running good ? not overheating?

I thought about that too, but its running so much cooler now I m not worried.. Even the heat that used to come up behind the seat is gone ,... Good Luck, and enjoy if it works.. They are a lot of fun when they run right
