I'm looking for my first UTV. Looking a a 2 person, 500cc or so. Will just be using it at camp with my hunting partner. Probably pull a self contained brush hog with it. Used is fine with me. Looking for some help/recommendations.

I've driven many different brands of vehicles. The cheaper brands, just feel cheap. That's just my opinion. I'd recommend buying a nice used vehicle, rather than a cheap new one. 

   You have to be honest about what its intended use is for. These can be very specialized machines. For example, a mud buggy, won't be very good at hauling wood. It'll work, but not well. 

   Bigger is better on these things. There's nothing wrong with the small ones, but the bigger ones hold more stuff. So unless you're wanting mud specific, or putting it in the back of a pickup...get a full size machine.

   Probably most important of all, is parts availability. Buying a recognized brand will be the best for this. 

  If I were buying a used machine, I'd look at a Polaris, or Kubota, for the bigger ones. Especially the Kubota diesel. And I'm definitely not a fan of computer controlled units. So older just makes sense to me.

Price range? Ideally, 6000.00 ish but if something nice comes along or great factory deals?

About 19 months back I researched UTV's myself, after 3 months of thorough research and much tire kicking and crawling up under around and thru I decided on a Kymco 450i UTV.  This machine has been awesome, trouble free, great reliability rating and used ones are very hard to find.  Factory service has been rated as extremely good and problems per 100 units manufactured are one of the lowest in the industry. Do yourself a favor and research the Kymco USA website and link the side x side area. Not a Chinese company but instead are made in Tiwain, they allow usa engineers and quality control into there country where Chinese do not.  Kymco also has a USA factory and parts supply and easy to get parts online or thru a dealer.  My local dealer was very cool, actually had an offroad track to test out the machines, with hills, mud, trees downed to climb over, just like a ride in the woods.

      Best place to find info on Hisun or Massimo UTV's
      By Eman85
      I have been searching and can't find much info on these units. Pretty surprising as every other thing I own I find a lot of info on. Researching for tech info and such it's like no one owns any of these yet I see them everywhere.

      Utv wont start and broken fuel injection wire
      By Jeff freeman
      I have a Coleman 550.  Was having problems to start with where it would start and then shut off after a couple tries. It would take off and be good. It then got to a point where it would not start at all. I replaced the fuel injection twice the second time I replaced it I noticed a mouse or something had chewed one of the wires that connect the electrical to the fuel injector. . So two-part question first does anybody have a part number for that wire harness?  Second, any other ideas after I fix the wire harness permanently on what could keep it from starting I have gas flow up to the fuel injector.

      By Alex
      If you’ve been looking for a chance to score a brand-new UTV, Polaris just launched one of the most unique giveaways we’ve seen in years.
      To celebrate America’s upcoming 250th anniversary, Polaris has announced its Celebrate American Heroes Giveaway, offering one lucky winner a custom-built Polaris RANGER CREW XD 1500 NorthStar 1776 Edition along with an all-expenses-paid trip to Nashville, Tennessee.
      The giveaway isn’t just about winning a side-by-side. Polaris is encouraging people to nominate someone they consider an American hero—whether that’s a veteran, first responder, teacher, volunteer, tradesperson, community leader, farmer, healthcare worker, or simply someone who makes a positive difference every day. Entrants can nominate themselves or someone else by sharing their story and submitting a photo.
      What’s Included?
      The grand prize is a highly customized RANGER CREW XD 1500 NorthStar 1776 Edition featuring:

According to Polaris, fewer than 100 of these special-edition 1776 models will be produced, making it one of the more unique RANGER builds we’ve seen from the factory.
      Why the RANGER XD 1500?
      The RANGER XD 1500 NorthStar sits at the top of the Ranger lineup and is designed for serious work and recreation. With its enclosed cab, heating and air conditioning, premium comfort features, and heavy-duty capability, it’s become one of the most talked-about utility side-by-sides in the industry.
      Whether you’re using a UTV on the farm, around your property, hunting, trail riding, or for work applications, the XD 1500 is one of the most capable utility machines Polaris has ever built.

      Some recent Hisun Sector 750 mods
      By HighSon
      Haven't posted in a while since solving the excessive cabin noise issue, so I thought I would share a few upgrades to my Sector... Realize that this is driven daily on the street, so some of the mods are to make it more streetworthy.

      Locking gas door.

      Rear view mirror.

      Modified windshield for better airflow in cabin.

      Lowered and modified headrest bar for improved rear view.  Tailgate protector.

      Folding armrests.

      Overhead utility rack.  Keeps the interior cooler and dryer, too!

      Folding rear seats.

      Dust cover and seat protector.
      If anyone wants links to the rear view mirror, seats, or arrests, let me know and I will post.  But know that everything requires some level of fabrication.  The utility rack was all custom built.  Cheers!
