I purchased a farm used 2007 Hisun 700 back in January 2019. early thoughts were not that great of the machine but after using it for 5 months on a pipeline project, I changed my mind. I did do some minor maintaining early on. Oil changes of the diffs and engine and a new battery, spark plug etc. Like I said, ran it for a full 5 months and it never let me down. So after the 5 months of being a work horse, I had the ball joints replaced with Yamaha Rhino ones. Plus the secondary and primary clutches. Added a voltage gauge and usb charger, added an actual temp gauge ( Cheap not working unless moving). 

All in all, I haven't used it for work or play in a year since all the clutch work but after sitting all winter, it started right up and ran awesome for year old gas. I paid $2600 for it and used it for work which pays me to use it. Best investment to date. I would buy another hisun if I can get it at a good price an day of the week. If i need parts I head to the Yamaha shop and get parts.

Thx pal.... you seem to get a lot of bang for the buck. YOu go to a polaris dealer and they always say stay away from them or cfmotos.... but in doing research, people have been pretty satisfied with the hisun.

I have a 2017 cub cadet challenger 750 eps (which is a hisun with some nice trimmings and a cub cadet logo on it)

it was a great work horse on our ranch until it just wasn’t. First two years were great and then this last year it’s been in the shop more than home and cost me a fortune to fix.  It’s needed a new inner and outter clutch,  a new cvt belt, and now a new timing chain, camshaft and sprockets. The hisun engines are made with a very cheap metal on all the inside parts and the thing just wears out way too fast for a new machine with only 180 hours on it and 500 miles - and I’ve never missed an oil change or maintenance job yet still the thing has failed.  Lots of forums talk about this.  I’ll never buy another one. Make sure to run full synthetic oil in it to help protect the cheap metal parts in the engine and transmission. or better yet - just don’t get one. Trust me on this...

next time I’ll be Saving up a little longer and buying a Ranger

IF my Cub Cadet was made by Hisun I can tell you I have had to use mine to tow my wife's Polaris Ranger xp back from the woods on at least 3 occasions in the last 5 years..   Mine has been bullet proof with teenagers thrashing the hell out of it.

      2021 Axis 500 4 month Review
      By mac66
      I bought a used 2021 Axis 500 last April.  Low mileage and got it for considerably less than what they go for new.
      The first thing I did was change the oil/fluids and also put a new drive belt on it.  The only other thing I did to it was add a rear vinyl window that zips open and rolls up to keep the weather off.
      I used it on my 52 acre property to check trail cameras, service the food plots, haul fertilizer, seed etc etc. It's has a good size bed and is not too big or small.  It has worked well as a utility vehicle. 
      Other than using on the trails working around the property I haven't used it much off road...at least until last weekend when I went on 74 mile group ride around the county. In my state it's legal to ride on any road that's not a state or federal highway. The group started in town, rode about 30 miles on back roads to the state ORV trail system. Then did about 20 miles on the trails and then headed back via back roads to town.   
      It had rained for 2 days straight prior, so the trails were one mud hole after another.  It was very challenging.
      The good...
      -It worked fine, never had any kind of issue with it since I bought it.
      -It kept up with more expensive machines on the trails. I was the only one with a CCC (Cheap Chinese Crap) machine.
      -Fairly comfortable to drive.
      -The roof, windshield and rear window kept most of the rain off when it started raining in the afternoon.
      -Okay, I cheated. I peeled off the AXIS 500 stickers on each side. Everybody in the group assumed I had a Rhino. They didn't ask, I didn't tell.
      The not so good...
      -The horsepower rating on the 500-cc engine is 24 hp but it seemed underpowered. While I could go about 35 mph with the pedal to the metal on pavement and hard packed dirt roads the best I could do on loose packed roads was 27 mph. I had trouble keeping up with the others in the group.  It also bogs down on inclines in high gear.  On the other hand, in low gear and 4wd I didn't have any problems going through mud or sand or up hills.
      -It is LOUD! Had to wear shooting earmuffs to keep my ears from ringing while riding. Going to have to address that.
      Overall Impression...
      I was impressed with it on the trails, and it is a good utility vehicle for working around the property. Considering what I paid for it I am very happy with its performance.

      Adding Power Steering To Sector 550?
      By Cletus
      I have a 2016 550, ive tryed the hisun website and seems i cant get parts there. I would like to add power steering, have seen a few "kits" on ebay
      for the 750 not sure if its the same parts needed for the 550, there is a factory bracket already welded to the frame above the standard steering rack, is this to be used
      to mount the eps motor? There is also a grey plug hanging just above the brake master cylinder, not sure if thats anything that needs to be used in the install.
      Handy with wrenches so if i can find the parts installing it shouldnt be a problem, anyone done this upgrade, was it worth it?

      2021 Hisun Sector 750 Primary Clutches
      By FDWT9956
      I am putting a new primary and secondary clutch into a 2021 Sector 750. It is rarely used, only 350 miles, brought brand new and lost the CVT belt and I can't figure out why. In the first picture is the primary I removed.

      I received the new primary and it has a retaining ring around the outer edge. Does this make a difference?
