I am going to buy a maverick or wildcat X in the next 2 weeks. I have driven both in a very small area with no way to tell which is better so I am relying on you all to help steer me in the right direction. The cat had power steering and does have more travel. I wonder if the longer stance would help in hill climbing and stability vs the maverick. Please share any experience you may have in hill climbing. I have had atvs, dirtbikes and a jeep rubicon and hoping this will satisfy my off road enjoyment since I no longer have any of that now. The maverick was definitely more comfortable to sit in and has a nicer cockpit. I was unable to gauge power or suspension in the limited area available at the dealer I mostly ride black dirt or clay. Sometimes sand and rock but not often. I am usually on tighter trails. I wont something that wont be a mechanical money pit. Its an expensive toy and I don't want to burn through more money at it just to keep it running. Unbiased advice would be appreciated supported by some basis of why one or the other is better. Thank you all.

      DO NOT BUY A LANDMASTER UTV!!!!!!
      By Chucky 1
      I purchased a new 2023 Landmaster UTV L4 in October of 2023.  UTV didn't seem to have as much power of the demo L4 that I drove but figured once it broke in it would be better.  After about a week the unit started bogging down backfiring and stopping.  Gas fumes really bad, wait a few minutes and it would start up again.  Brought it back to the dealer and after keeping it for a few weeks said he couldn't find anything wrong with it.  Got it back home and it started acting up again, brought it back to dealer a week later and he said he found couple things that might cause it to do run bad and he was able to replicate the issue but didn't really know what was wrong.  Got it back home again after being at dealer for several weeks and the unit started running bad again right away.  Brought it back to dealer and he went back and forth with Kohler about possible fixes but just checked somethings and try to swap a few parts but still runs bad.  I called Landmaster HQ to speak with someone about a refund and was told that was handled at the dealer level.  Dealer called Landmaster and they told him they didn't do refunds or exchanges especially with units that had problems.  The dealer is now trying to get a new engine to but I have not heard anything as of yet.  I did file complaint with Better Business Bureau and they accepted my claim and reached out to Landmaster.  The National Service Manager called me and said the he had been contacted by the BBB about the complaint and he would look into it.  I told him that I would just like to have my down payment of $2,000.00 returned and never mind the over $1,000.00 I have paid in notes for a UTV that I cannot even ride on without hoping it gets me around the neighborhood.  I have found out that the 2024 Landmaster UTVs will have Vanguard engines due to issues with the Kohler engines.  Very disappointed in what is "Proudly Made in the USA" and the way Landmaster has treated this disabled veteran!

      2021 UTV 400 going downhill something releases to "Neutral" loud Clacking noise.
      By Robert B
      Going down a 20 deg hill engine is holding UTV back. Then something releases like going into Neutral and makes a loud clacking noise. Have to use brake to slow UTV down. Then once level it shifts back into gear. Have done shift extension does not pop out of gear.
