I've noticed the Massimo MSU-500, The Cub Cadet Challenger 500 (550?) and the Benneche Bighorn 500 all look the same? Does one company make them and they just put their name on them?

silverbullet. .The shop that did this 2 radiator 2 fans is just an ass hole. We bore them out .070 oversize and they still don't get hot..Must weigh a ton and cost a lot of money.This is why thy come to us for 16 years.

if it has an oil filter replace it before running it and replace it after 20 hours or so of run time.

Massimo assembled in Texas: http://powersportsbusiness.com/top-stories/2014/02/13/start-up-brand-dreams-of-building-its-own-utv/ Cub Cadet: It sells its products through dealers and retailers. The company was founded in 1961 and is based in Cleveland, Ohio. Cub Cadet LLC operates as a subsidiary of MTD Products, Inc. Benneche: We assemble all of our vehicles in Coppell, Texas, : http://www.bennche.com/about/ "ASSEMBLED" does not answer the question of who actually made the parts themselves. Most likely China, Philippines etc. make the majority of parts found in all these vehicles. I've seen struts made in Brazil. Most companies that sell to TSC and other big box stores use parts from overseas and mix and match them to build a 4 wheeler. Try finding replacement parts after 7 years, darn near impossible with these brands. If you plan on keeping yours for over 7 years buy such brands ad Polaris, Bombardier and other well known names that make their parts in house. Chinese parts fail quickly after warranty since makers will only pay the least they can get away with to maximize profits. Yes China can make good parts but often do not because they are not paid more to do so. Having owned a big box store 4 wheeler all I can say is NEVER buy one just because the price is lower, you will regret that decision. Best resale value and best reliability come from made and assembled in the US and Canada. A mix match of Chinese, Brazilian, Philippine parts to make a not heard of brand name spells TROUBLE, and yes, spelled in capitals. And even more so NEVER buy used big box 4 wheelers, they are for sale for good reason, they cost the owner too much to repair. I learned the hard way, now I own a Polaris. I hope this post if it saves just one person grief, it's worth it. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
