Hello there and hope you're having a great time with your new unit. As to the problem of having a trailer hitch, it has to do with where to mount it. As you have noticed, these units have a solid rear axles. Due to their mounting there is no frame area available to mount a traditional trailer hitch. I have had these units down to the chassis and there are really no great places to mount it to. The rear axle is exposed and does not have a housing. The swing arm is about your only option here. You would have to fabricate a bracket from one side of the swing arm to the other and that also perhaps has a strut in the center to attach to the swing arm as well for support. Then you might be able to bring it out rear wards and have your trailer hitch then. I happen to be a mechanical engineer as well so this is just my 2 cents. Is it impossible? no, is it available currently? no. Any good welder and fabricator can make it happen though. Probably some good ol 3/8" plate and you're there. As you can see from the pic below, not a lot of area to mount one to. But there are lots of mounting areas at both swing are to axle points. Matt

Thanks for your input and I was hoping someone had something available, I am a Machinist of 45 years and can fabricate something that will function. I only have a small hitchpin trailer I need to tow. Thanks again

      I'm looking to purchase a 2015 Massimo 550 that might have an issue with it's throttle position sensor.   
      From the fella selling this UTV, he claims its to set the idle on fuel injection because the engine will not stay idle or when it starts sometimes it idles too high.
      My Question if anyone had any issues with their Massimo 550 and if it was actually the TPS or something else that would allow the machine to idle correctly.
      Thanks!

      hi everyone i have this 2021 Hisun forge 250 that won't start. no spark no fuel.   when i turn the key on i dont hear the relays click or fuel pump come on. it does have power but the relay doesnt ground the pump or the ignition coil. dont know if there are any safety switches on this model or not.  it does crank and all the accessories work. i  hot wired the pump and it does work.  i found a wiring diagram but it's very hard to figure out and was hoping someone has seen this before. all fuses are good. thanks in advance.

      I recently purchased a 2024 Hisun 550 Sector from Kreps Service Station and am having issues with the gear selector, I am doing as instructed in the owners manual but the shifter acts like it is binding or the button lock isn't releasing, the shifter will not move, I have to wiggle it back and forth while pushing hard on the brake and if it's in park or reverse it's nearly impossible to get it to move, I contacted Justin Krep and he says this is normal with these machines, I find that hard to believe, I've owned many utvs and side x sides and have never had this kind of issue with any of them, any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

      Hi
      I have a 2022 hisun sector eps 550. 30amp fuse is blown for eps. Checked the motor and it’s fine. Opened up the controller and found a bad diode. Dealer wanted 500$ for the controller. Just posting this in case it helps someone. I couldn’t read numbers from the old one so just took a guess and replaced it with a 100v 3amp diode.
