If anyone is looking for the cheapest UTV, with dump bed, winch, roof and windshield, I just noticed that lowes has the axis 500/ hisun UTV on sale for 4500 (at least in my area) They are $4500. ($9000 original). I have one - they have some issues, but nothing catastrophic. My biggest complaint is that it is under powered. Also the winch failed. They are still selling an extended warranty - which I would take, just in case. My guess is lowes wants them gone.

I'm thinking the gear senser needs adjusting, maybe it thinks its in reverse and the rev limiter kicks in.

good point, perfect is hard to find in anything, especially UTV's.

If you are not happy with a Kubota RTV-XG850 as a work UTV I doubt if you would be happy with any of the others.

ebay & Amazon, it's a crapshoot, certainily no dealer support.

Another way to look at a Massiamte warranty is "there is no warranty" and most Massimo products are very poor quality

So here is my dilemma, I bought a 2014 Massimo MSU500 eleven years ago from TSC, its never been off the farm, had my share of ups and downs with it but never walked back to the house. I have bought a Kubota Sidewinder and it is a fine machine.Problem is I just dont need the Massimo and would like to sell it but the last thing want to do is sell it (cheap) to someone who doesn't realize what a POS a Massimo can be and can't afford to maintain it. I plan to put it of Craigslist with pictures and description, not sure how to warn potiential buyers without scaring them away. I feel like it could be a great buy for the right person or a terrible buy for the wrong person. I'm thinking $2500.

my Massimo had a bad secondary clutch seal which leaked oil onto the drive belt shortly after I bought it, you might want to check yours.

Better save your money for repairs not accessories.

please explain how or why the rear wheels almost fell off, not that I doubt you but sounds a little hoky

Doubt this will help but you have a pretty much typical Massimo. I don't understand why Tractor Supply, Lowes and others continue to carry them. .

Yes, they want no contact with their customers, just their money.

does sound like kind of an asshole don't he.

Not being disrespectful to this form but is there another more active Kubota 850 Sidekick form? Never hurts to have more than one source.
