1. No not reliable. Yes, bad seal that leaked oil on drive belt, replaced seal and belt and misc clutch parts. Shift ball detent, both when new. Actually parts have not been the problem, quality is the problem. 2. Have not got rid of it, no one wants it. 3. Kubota Sidekick 4. Damm near impossible, some parts are on ebay. Mine is a MSU500 bought new from Tractor Supply.

I am beginning to wonder if anyone has had good results from the Chinese crap (Hison, Massimo, Axis, Odes and others) mostly coming out of Texas. By good results I mean a good reliable two to five year basically trouble free experience. I have a Massimo and have managed to get almost 10 years out of it (farm use) but certainly not trouble free. I would not buy another one.

Be sure to keep in touch, would like to know how this turns out.

Have you any problems so far? I just got a RTV XG850.

I think it is a good idea, I just got an 850 and that so far that is my biggest complaint, I see no reason for that much extra headroom, I'm hitting low hanging tree branches that never bothered my old SXS and it won't go in my basement garage.

Can you give link to download from? I just got an 850 Sidekick and would like to get a service manual.

I have a 2014 and have changed it once. Not that hard but not fun. I was just thinking that if a guy didn't even know weather it had a drive belt or not, it might be a little difficult.

Yes it does, hard to change. How old is it, how many hours/miles?

I don't see a problem.

If you can't fix it yourself, you bought the wrong SXS (Massimo).

All kinds of Massimo new parts on ebay.

As far as I know all relays and fuses are located inside the battery box. At least mine is.

Can somebody tell me if the 2023 uforce 600 and 1000's have a locked rear differential. I do not want a locked rear diff.

I can't see why it wont work if you have the clearance for the hose. I have often thought of just removing the filter and attaching hose to top of the box and either going through the engine cover or out the back and attaching to the roll cage with a filter. I thought the pvc valve was suppose to pull air from the crankcase. Anybody know what those two square things on the intake hose are for?

Massimo and Odes are close relations, anything that looks or smells like a Massimo I would avoid. Warranties are only as good as the company behind them.
