ditto .....see if its seized , and why. another member here had the transmission blow up and come thru the block, locking up crank

well, blame unions and democrats for making labor costs of $60 /hr for a guy pushing a button on a robot .. If that belt was Union made in NY or CA it would be $300.00 I have found GATES to still be good quality belts even tho its imported.. Dont buy the EL CHEAPO brand at Autozone.. I did once because Gates was out of stock.. lasted 2 months . Luckily I had put the old belt in the trunk.

on my 500 all you do is unplug the sender on the radiator and jump the two wires for the fan to run continuously when key is on.

what happened ? Are you rebuilding it or replacing it? Yamaha Rhino engine will fit in place of HISUN

we have 1 1/2 acre on the river.. two campers set up full time with metal buildings .. bought years ago. I m retired so we spend a lot of time there fishing etc.. Used to hunt but not too much anymore. Our property borders the Sherberne WMA and National Forest. I can literally walk 100 yrds and deer hunt

congrats ! looks like you got a good one

we have a camp on the Atchafalaya River so I spend a lot of time there year round. Theres miles of good riding trails nearby. Kids and grandkids too.

did you miss the part where I TRIED TO TRADE IT ON A HONDA when it had 50 miles on it? They wouldnt take it and I cant aford to just park the $9K, plus $3K in repairs I spent on it and then put out another $12K-$14K on a new Honda .

my issue was the 1st break down on first day with 1 miles..yes ONE MILE on it.. and Massimo basically told me to go "F' myself for warranty. and again ALL SIX TIMES IT BROKE IN FIRST YEAR!!! They refused to pay one cent of repairs at a shop they provided . After a lot of cash and a bunch of NEW YAMAHA RHINO PARTS replacing the trash HISUN parts , I now have a decent machine.. but during the first year I never got more than 15 minutes use without yet another breakdown. My buddy's Honda Pioneer has over 6,000 miles on it and has only had regular oil changes. NOT ONE BREAKDOWN ..

thats odd, I know several with Honda and Kawasaki SXS s and we all ride in the swamp together.. never seen one have issue climbing logs in 4WD .. Its funny tho, they can all outrun me on flat dry ground but my Massimo/Yamaha has pulled a couple of them out of deep mudholes. And I dont mean with my winch.But it could just be the drivers.lol as for the moderators here, they would really not like my T-Shirt.. Its a stick figure humping you know who ..[ the potted plant in the WH] lol have a good one buddy

LETS GO BRANDEN

thank God! lol theres already 81 million of them , or so they want us to believe

I too have an MSU 500 SXS .. 2017 model... spent most of its first two years in the shop.. not one cent from Massimo for repairs , ever. Now that its got a whole bunch of YAMAHA Rhino parts on it to replace the poor quality HISUN parts, it finally runs well. We also have 4 HONDA ATVs .. they are absolutely bulletproof.. you cannot tear one up. AND MY GRANDKIDS TRY REAL HARD !! When I bought my MSU 500 in feb 2018 , it was $2500 cheaper than a Honda PIONEER... I SHOULD HAVE PAID THE $2500 .. I would be way ahead now. I even tried to trade it on a HONDA , with only 50 miles on the Massimo .. Honda would not take it. at all .. THEY KNEW!!!! lol

funny, I cant find any part on my Hondas that says MADE IN CHINA ..can you be specific on which part? and if you think MASSIMO /HISUN is the quality equivalent of Honda, you must have voted for Dementia Joe . Even the factory rep at Massimo at Dallas assembly plant told me they dumped HISUN engines and went to Linhai because HISUN is junk..

I agree.. RETURN IT .. and I am sorry, WELCOME TO THE FORUM

believe me when I say we are jealous of your experience with these things.. none of us have such good fortune with them.. And the fact that they break alot is not the biggest thorn in my side, its the absolute neglect and dont givashit attitude from the manufacturer and their pathetic sales minions at Tractor Supply and the rest .. They simply refused to honor their own warranty in any way, even on mines first day of use. but I digress

Bullet proof? lol my 2017 was BULLET RIDDLED ..lol broke on first day in its first mile.... and went downhill from there ! And we call swamp , just the back yard here in Cajun land

the problem is trying to stay ahead of the malfunctions on these machines. its work on it, ride it, work on it ..repeat

lol my hitch did that too.. only pulling a 300 lb cart.. pitiful

wow... now you insult my upbringing? ....seek professional help

First I am not apologizing because I never called you a liar... Reading comprehension seems to be your problem.. I said..POST PIC AND DEBATE IS OVER.. you refused.. not my problem.. How often do you kick your dog ? just asking, you seem to have anger management issues and a need for negative attention. Have a great day!

I did that long ago.. Filed complaint on both with BBB and Texas AG... they did nothing.. absolute nothing . Massimo laughed at me on the phone.. I recorded it.. AG did not even want it.

Glad Lowes stood behind it. Tractor Supply told me to basically screw off .. They dont do anything but sell them, they said .. Gotta deal with manufacturer .. The manufacturer in Dallas laughed at me when I demanded they fix mine.

Now , was that so hard? You could have done that 30 posts ago.and saved everybody time and effort.. I said it over and over, POST PIC, end of debate! . BTW, you object to "dude" , and then call us LADIES?

Congrats.. you got a good one. ...even a broken clock is right twice .. Hope it continues to be enjoyable. Most of us dont have that experience. UTVs are a lot of fun when they run
