Hey so after seven years of marriage and two children I am finally hitting that point in life when a  man must become a kid again! I plan to purchase my first utv within the next 5 months or so.  Looking to gain as much info and possibly even some fellow riders to show me the ropes.  Ive been to a few places on the west coast after living in arizona for a few years and i cant wait to get behind the wheel again.

Welcome to the forum!

Do yourself a favor, and don't buy one of those Chinese brands. Massimo, and Hisun come to mind. They look good, and probably run good when you buy it. But typically there's little to no factory support. Several of these have some real horror stories. People can't find things like CV axles  or shocks. The service manual is little more than an owner's manual. And due to price, and availability, a necessary diagnostic tool isn't an option for most people.

If you have above average fabrication, and mechanical skills. Then go for it. Otherwise get a name brand. Exactly which one is subjective. It all depends on intended use, budget, and taste. Having a competent local dealership is always a plus too.

Good luck in whatever you decide!

      UTV identification
      By quint725
      Hello! I picked up a Facebook especial and was curious if I could get some help identifying what exactly it is. It was labeled as a Mossimo 500, but I can't confirm that. The closest I've seen is a Hisun Supermach 500. I bought it as a project but without knowing exactly what it is and the year it's hard to buy parts for it.
      What I do know is that it has the Hisun 500cc carbureted engine, and I can share the VIN if that helps.
      Here are some photos
       
      Thanks in advance

      DO NOT BUY A LANDMASTER UTV!!!!!!
      By Chucky 1
      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!
