Looks like we need to come here for all of our tech support. Thanks Joe

Thanks, unfortunately my barn is not heated and we are in a deep freeze up here (I am just on the other side of the border from Buffalo, NY). If it ever warms up a bit I will be out there tinkering. I am sure I can figure it out. I see in one of your other posts that your recommended calling tech support for a walk through; I will try that too.

Thanks TapBoss. I ended up buying oil filters on Amazon but like in the post you sent and the one I purchased they say they are for Hisun and compatible with others, Massimo is one of them; so they are no-name aftermarket. And for some reason Massimo will not ship parts to Canada. As for changing gears, I always come to a full stop to switch gears. I also put it in Neutral when I switch between 2WD and 4WD and lock/unlock differential. Actually, that is what I have been doing, "continue in the direction I was going just a bit, stop and shift again." I just hope the time doesn't come when I am up against a wall or cliff and have to, "continue in the direction I was going just a bit, stop and shift again." I don't like the fact that you found a lot of shavings in the differential fluid. Oh, I forgot to mention; I used the winch twice before it went for a sh#%. And of course those aren't under warranty. I replaced it with a low budget one from a local automotive parts store and it has been good ever since. Is it just me or there something is wrong with this picture. I have a lot of work to do on my property next spring, hope this thing can keep up.

I Recently purchased a Massimo T-Boss 550F last fall with their 60" snow thrower because I couldn't find a decent UTV here in Southern Ontario; nothing in stock anywhere. I am having really bad buyer's remorse after spending time on it and reading all the bad online reviews. The company boasts the fact that it is built in Texas, USA, so I was hoping to do the right thing by buying, "Made In North America" but it is still Chinese Junk, assembled in the USA. and I am starting to realize that I am going to have a lot of difficulty getting parts for this thing; I can't even get an oil filter, finally bought a "Hisun" filter and hope it fits. i busted the shear pins in the snow thrower and can't find replacements for that either. The thing is so hard to change gears most of the time; I am terrified I am going to wreck something. The place I purchased it from is absolutely useless. Can I adjust something myself? Anyone out there have this problem and have some advice (besides selling it and buying a good brand)?
