Who ever designed the placement of the oil dipstick on the T-Boss 550 should receive an award. He couldn’t have placed it in a more inconvenient location. Has anyone figured out an easy way to check your oil in these machines? Guess this is the place you refill also!

I have the same issue with the dipstick on the Kawasaki 4010 TransMule with the tilt bed down.  I can remove it easy enough, but putting the two piece clipped together flimsy dipstick back in a hole you cannot see without standing on your head is a near impossible challenge for a 76 year old fat man.  90% of the time I have the backseat in place not needing the bed space, so the exercise takes 30 minutes, and I do mean exercise.  I usually wait for my son to visit and have him do it.  The great news is it has never needed oil between changes, still.

Is there a trick or hack (in today's ridiculous vernacular) that would make it easier?

      We have a 2018 Cub Cadet Challenger 400 and I found this Internally Threaded Bolt with a 10mm head size laying in the floor of the shop bay here on our ranch where we park the Cub Cadet.
      Trying to figure out where it belongs...

      UT400 First Oil Change Overfull Milk Chocolate What to Check
      By Homeowner A
      Picked up an essentially new 2022 UT400 with 9 miles on it.  Decided to change the oil because it's probably never been done.  Pulled the dipstick and noticed it was overfull then went and pulled the drain plug and took off the filter and it was like brown water running out.  What should I start checking?

      2023 t-boss 550 belt slipping and found oil in belt housing
      By Cory J
      Belt started slipping when I used it in high gear. It works okay in low unless I'm trying to power it up a hill and then it slips.., Ordered a new belt and went to change it and found a good bit of oil in the belt housing. Has anyone experienced this? Belt looks fine. Only have 300 miles on this thing..

      2024 Hisun Sector 550 gear sector binding
      By Ductking1
      I recently purchased a 2024 Hisun 550 Sector from Kreps Service Station and am having issues with the gear selector, I am doing as instructed in the owners manual but the shifter acts like it is binding or the button lock isn't releasing, the shifter will not move, I have to wiggle it back and forth while pushing hard on the brake and if it's in park or reverse it's nearly impossible to get it to move, I contacted Justin Krep and he says this is normal with these machines, I find that hard to believe, I've owned many utvs and side x sides and have never had this kind of issue with any of them, any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
