cliffyk, just curious.......why do you say the coleman 400 doesn't have enough power to plow snow, if a snow plow could be located?...........my mule is a 400, and it does an excellent job plowing...........

Mostly the fact that it doesn't. I drove mine over 1500  miles through Florid swamps and back country. It's a capable little beast, however it got bogged down in ale deep thick mud more than once--the drive train would not hold up to the rigors of snowplowing. The Hisun 400 is a recreational vehicle that can hit 45 mph flat out, the mule is a hardcore workhorse utility vehicle--different design goals. My 650 cc Ariens tractor has a small plow but you can't really plow much of anything with it.

I also purchased this plow from Amazon, cost less than $500, got a 5% credit on account and free shipping. Got it in 4 days from Texas to Michigan. Had to cut corners of mounting plate to clear suspension arms. After cutting plate install was about an hour putting all pieces together and getting on the utv. Works GREAT!

Just had our 1st plowable snow for the season here in southern Michigan. After the highway department went thru for the first pass I took the Coleman UT400 with the 5' plow I had installed for its' first journey. We had approx. 4" with ice topping and after the plowing by the highway department is was approx. 8"-10" on the sides of the road. I  put the utv in 4x4, didn't really need it but the machine worked great for me. Don't know how it's going to work in wet deeper snow but for $500 what the hell. Good Luck!

Moldman, Thanks for the update! Glad it worked it for you. Did the engine seem able to be up to the task, or did you feel it needed more power?

Cliffyk, in your opinion where would the failure be in the clutch, clutch cover or the primary clutch? Just trying to get as much info before getting one and have it fail. It would be replacing my 20 year old honda utv that has been bulletproof. I just don't want to spend 15 or 20K just to plow my driveway. Any info you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Shaun B, I purchsaed the above snow plow system that you have listed. I installed it on Friday and got to use it on Sunday. I was plowing 4 inch snow with 10 inch drifts. went through it like butter in 4wd. could of eaily plowed a 10 inch snow. i also put two 70lb bags of sand in the box. it took about 7 hours for this old man to install. I am very pleased with that 6 foot wide plow and it is heavy duty..

I just plowed out of a 24 inch snow here in NE Ohio. I have a double wide 500 foot long driveway and my coleman ate the snow. I was able to clear it in about 20 minutes with snow mounds up to 10 feet. This little machine was a beast out there. Moreover it used my own homemade plow! I'm going to enclose it and add the aftermarket heater assembly. Then I can be nice and toasty plowing our neighbors driveways.

The Coleman (Hisun) 400 does not have enough power to plow snow; and attempting to do so would most likely destroy the drive train in short order.

I beg to differ,   I plowed 18 inches of snow in Michigan last week wet & heavy snow.    I had NO problems,   1st time I've actually put it into 4 x 4

      Coleman UT400 shift issues , grinding .
      By Bryan g
      We see a lot of the UT400 with shift problems, not going into gear, popping out of gear, grinding etc. There  is a bulletin Im sure everyone has saw about adjusting shift cable.  That dont always fix it.  I went round n round with coleman  on couple units. We are a Coleman warranty repair center"AFS Small Engine Repair "   I told them shift lever does not have enough travel .  No amount of cable adjustment  will increase travel . I  extended lever with piece on flat  iron by 3/4 of inch .  This gave shifter enough travel to properly engage into gear completely .  Last couple units to come in for this Coleman sent me a modified shift lever, with longer travel . Problem solved! Also , heads up if you get any new unit ,,,go over and check it out,  grease  all zerks, check air filter for being in backwards, check wiring harnesses for rubbing on rotating parts,  brake hose  routing , make sure not touching exhaust .  These are just  few of the more common failures I see .

      2018 Coleman UT400 Trans keeps popping out of forward
      By dman66
      My buddy has a ut400 that the forward gear keeps popping out of gear. She only has like 400 miles on the odometer .the shift cable has been adjusted and the shift lever has been updated / modified. All other gears are good. Is there an internal detent cam or something that wears out or shift fork that can be replaced ? Or is there some other magic that I can perform ? Looks like the engine needs to be split.

      Hisun Sector 450 (2021) - help diagnose rear diff issue (short video included)
      By camojay
      When we first heard the noise, we immediately stopped driving it...at first we thought it might be a linkage issue, but after further inspection looks like the sound/jolting is coming from the rear diff. Took a video below...
      Anyone know what is creating the diff to skip/jump like this? We drained the diff oil and didn't look terrible, no metal.
      Other info that may be useful:
      1400 miles on it
      Recently tightened the E brake
      P.s. never posted on this forum before, let me know if the video does not work

      2020 T-Boss 410 running problems
      By downseast
      Hi everyone
      Recently purchased a 2020 T-Boss 410 in what appears to be good condition
      First time with this machine – I also have a diesel Kawasaki Mule which so far seems a better machine
      It didn’t start and idle well particularly from cold when I got it and sudden take off ( now solved with new clutch parts ) was all or nothing !
      I have replaced the idle valve, throttle position sensor, had the injector professionally checked ( ok) and also the pressure sensor this is a fuel injection engine, also plug and lead etc!
      It still doesn’t run well and when starting I have to hold revs for a while as it wont idle but stall, thereafter its better and I have rebooted the ecu which has improved it
      When I go to start it clicks as if there is a hydraulic lock and wont return after two or three attempts it then does turn over and start bit I need to give it a bit of throttle to start – is this normal ?
      Is there adjustment for the air idle valve ?
      The engine seems rough and with vibration compared to other engines I have been used to but some say this is normal?
      I haven’t changed the Lambda sensor yet, anyone know how much difference this might make ( I have a new Bosch universal to fit )
      Any advice very much appreciated, thanks

      Coleman 400 cut out when hot under load ideas?
      By Homeowner A
      Have a Coleman UTV 400 that cranks, runs, drives well until it gets warm and is put under load.  Light throttle or full throttle it doesn't bog, but it will cut out mid throttle if you move the pedal quicker than it seems to like for example when you're getting ready to go up a hill, but if you immediately floor it, it will do just fine and not cut out.  It's random if and when it's going to do it, but is consistent in that it happens only when hot/full operating temperature.  I've replaced the injector twice, same with the spark plug and tried different heat ranges (NGK 7,8 and 8 iridium), replaced the fuel pump, adjusted the valves, checked air filter which is like new, changed the oil, replaced the fuel filter.  No check engine light.  I don't have a code reader for this.  Initially I thought it might have a head or head gasket issue as when I got it, the oil was over full, very runny like water milky and it was smoking.  I've changed the oil since then twice to clear and clean everything out, and it seems to be good.  Coolant stays the same level and so does oil with no changes in consistency or need for adding more. Had I think 7-9 miles when I got it and now has about 77.  What should I try or consider next?
