I am trying to take a crash corse in selecting the best UTV for my needs.   I recently bought a home bordering the  Chattahoochee National Forrest.    The primary use would be around the property and travel between neighboring homes.   All surrounding roads are gravel and there are several 4x4 trails in the area.   I initially was looking at electric models because of my limited mechanical skills and noise,  it seems only the Polaris is available and pricey.   I want to be practical…….but still be able to have fun and be the envy of my new neighbors with golf carts.  Help a city girl out?\

If you're not mechanically inclined, I would look at what dealers are nearby and do a search of their service reviews.  Stick to the main manufacturers, Polaris, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Can-Am and Honda.  Probably not going to find much in electric models no matter where you look.

This is the truth. Follow TapBoss' advice. You get what you pay for. If you cant afford a name brand as he outlined, don't buy anything and save your dinero til you can.

So.     I am choosing between 2 models right now.  A new single cab Polaris new equip as I want runs about 17K.   Or. A used Yamaha wolverine 4x   2021 192 hours /220 miles  20K.     I am leaning Wolverinebecause it looks so fun….  Can someone tell me how the Hours and miles stack up?……..  Is this as “low use” as it seems to me?

Going by the hours, that's only about 10hrs/Month.  Something about the Hrs vs miles definitely doesn't add up though. Who has the Wolverine up for sale, dealer or private?

My guess is there is a zero missing from the miles since that would put it at averaging 11 mph which is more likely. If not, ask them how the miles and hours are almost equal.

      I purchased a new 2023 Landmaster UTV L4 in October of 2023.  UTV didn't seem to have as much power of the demo L4 that I drove but figured once it broke in it would be better.  After about a week the unit started bogging down backfiring and stopping.  Gas fumes really bad, wait a few minutes and it would start up again.  Brought it back to the dealer and after keeping it for a few weeks said he couldn't find anything wrong with it.  Got it back home and it started acting up again, brought it back to dealer a week later and he said he found couple things that might cause it to do run bad and he was able to replicate the issue but didn't really know what was wrong.  Got it back home again after being at dealer for several weeks and the unit started running bad again right away.  Brought it back to dealer and he went back and forth with Kohler about possible fixes but just checked somethings and try to swap a few parts but still runs bad.  I called Landmaster HQ to speak with someone about a refund and was told that was handled at the dealer level.  Dealer called Landmaster and they told him they didn't do refunds or exchanges especially with units that had problems.  The dealer is now trying to get a new engine to but I have not heard anything as of yet.  I did file complaint with Better Business Bureau and they accepted my claim and reached out to Landmaster.  The National Service Manager called me and said the he had been contacted by the BBB about the complaint and he would look into it.  I told him that I would just like to have my down payment of $2,000.00 returned and never mind the over $1,000.00 I have paid in notes for a UTV that I cannot even ride on without hoping it gets me around the neighborhood.  I have found out that the 2024 Landmaster UTVs will have Vanguard engines due to issues with the Kohler engines.  Very disappointed in what is "Proudly Made in the USA" and the way Landmaster has treated this disabled veteran!

      Greetings,
      I have a client that wants me to install a heater of some sort to aid in cold weather starting (she uses it at her business, has had issues starting the last few days in sub-zero). I would prefer a coolant heater to a pan heater (silicone pad), but I cant for the life of me find the diameter of the coolant hoses. Heck, I'm not even sure if it would work as well in this application given how long the hose is compared to tractors and trucks I have installed them in. 
      Any advice you could give me would be GREATLY appreciated.
