I just got a MAV.. Stupid power!.. love the thing... The wildcat looks a bit weird to me...I have seen Wildcats with suspension kits handle a little better on the whoops but it has to be modified. I hear in a side by side comparison the the MAV has better fit and finish but I have never seen a Wildcat in person... this is one of those things that your gonna get lovers and haters on both sides... Do yourself a favor.. Go to the dealership and climb all around both...

Thanks Myron. I have driven both in a small area and agree the Mav feels much more comfortable but the Cat brought a bigger grin to my face. The dealer had me hit a drainage ditch (probably about 2ft deep) coming from the street and heading into a field in the cat. It was very impressive. I felt more stable in the Cat and felt like for my style of driving I could be a little more daring in it. Both are great and it was hard to gauge power differences. Although the Mav was incredibly comfortable I opted to order the Cat. If I need to change out the seats its not that big a deal. Wish I could have them both but I know you can"t go wrong with either. Have fun and be safe.

      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.

      adjusting linkage? clunk/grind when going into gear 4010 Mule
      By C H
      I have a 2023 4010 Mule TRANS that I've now had a year and just hit 50hrs.  I did my first service including oil change, trans & differential oil change.  I'd like to adjust my linkage (I suppose) as when I shift into gear, I get a good grab and clunk at least. It was grinding at one point and I tinkered with the linkage adjustments enough that its finally not grinding. Still, sometimes I worry that it's clunking too hard when I go into gear. 
       
      Looked on youtube and can't find any vids or advice there on the adjustment procedure. I'm STILL trying to find somewhere that has the service manual available. Even the company site is telling me that they hope to have them in stock by Christmas! 
       
      These are the two places I was trying to adjust. Are these even the correct ones? Does anyone know the difference in the two?

      Don’t buy a LandMaster UTV from a private seller because the dealer won’t service it because you didn’t purchase it from them.
      By Mike Turner
      After 5 years my 2016,  650LandMaster is needing normal wear and tear service. But I can’t find a dealer service center to perform any of the work because I didn’t purchase the UTV from them. “I’m not going to help you” I’m told, “find someone else”. And apparently there’s not a damn thing I can do about it.

      Newbie Question- Should I buy New or Used?
      By tangojay
      Wife and I took a guided tour while visiting Zion Natural Park and well,,,,, the bug hit us HARD. 
      We live in the White Mountains of Arizona, the is many street ATV’s and many trails within driving distance , thus a trailer is not needed for most.
      ‘Here is what we have in our “want” list, 4 seater, doors, street legal , front and rear windshield,,,,, we have not settled on brand or model, so here is we I hope you folks can help us.
      1) Should we buy new or used?
      2) What APR should we expect ( we both have over 800 scores) if we finance?
      3) If we buy used, what should we look for and how many miles is a no go? 
      4) I know it is subjective but, which brand is consider “premium” and which would be considered “entry” 
      Thanks for info you may provide ,
