Pretty new to the whole UTV thing and my outfitter 550 has around 35 hours so I figured it’s time to do an oil/filter change and grease the zerks….but then was wondering if I should also drain and replace the front/rear differential fluids? I don’t see anything in the outfitter manual mentioning differentials and I can’t find  any videos or instructions online if this is something I should be doing and if so at what intervals? If anyone has any videos showing where to even find the differentials on this name/model I’d be greatly appreciative.

I'll try again, I typed a lengthy reply, but it disappeared. According to the Owners Manual, section 10-15, every 400 hours in answer to your question. When you change the engine oil, the drain plug will have a spring and screen sitting on top. The spring will be under compression and will want to pop out and go flying if you're not expecting it. To reinstall it, get your machine as high as you can to have room to put it in. The trick will be to balance the spring and screen, cup side down in the spring, on the plug. then press the whole thing into the hole until the spring is compressed and the plug threads are flush with the hole threads, and screw it in. The spring compression will fight you so when you push it in be sure you can rotate your wrist far enough to start the threads. There's also an o ring on the plug so be sure not to lose it.

      Is there a diagram of all of the grease zerks for a Coleman UT 400?  Mine squeaks like crazy and want to try and remedy it.

      Hi, 
      New to the forum. 
      Came here looking for some experienced UTV users who can enlighten me about which brand should I pick for my very first UTV or SXS. 
      I'm between 3 brands and 3 models: 
      *Kawasaki MULE PRO-FXR   1000.
      *Yamaha wolverine rmax2. 
      *Can am Commander XTP. 
      The use I'm willing to give it is mostly to go to the range with my wife, load steel targets and all our shooting gear, we shoot a lot, rifles, Shotguns and Handguns for practice, training and competition. (Range is about 10 miles from home) 
      But also I want something that I can take to the trails and have fun on dirt, mud, rocks, puddles or creeks. 
      Any objective information will be appreciated, specially which is more reliable and durable. 
      Thank you and happy 4th of July.
