I am considering a Hisun 550 for tooling around the farm> I have a Kawasaki Teryx 4 and deeply disappointed at the difficulty of getting to the engine and belt for repairs. I would like some feedback on the Hisun's reliability and ease of access to work on. Thanks.

I had a 700cc and working on it myself was not an issue. It was just that I had to work on it constantly after a few miles. It was always something going wrong. It kicked up dust really bad on gravel roads and swirls inside so covered anyone in it with dust. Engine heat was awful and really unbearable even with me trying many things to block or redirect the heat and dust. The engine itself was pretty tough but if you could put up with all the other bad things that went along with it. I would spend a few more dollars and have something you could use with no issues and still be able to resell it and get some of your money back. I'm not a fan of Hisun or any of their spin off brands from my experience. Others may chime in here and say I am wrong and I may be? I hope if you do it you have better luck than myself. You get what you pay for...

There is nothing convenient easy, or reliable about anything named Hisun..in my experience they are cheaply built, poorly assembled,  unreliable, and not backed by any thing resembling warranty or customer service

Had someone warned me before buying mine new at Tractor Supply, I would have bought the Honda or CF MOTO

Where is the Hisun made? Is it Chinese or Korean?

                                  it's definitely      Chinese.  There are assembly facilities in Dallas for some.

My Hisun 550 with Coleman Outfitter stickers, is a Vietnamese based machine. At least that is what the tag on the frame says.  I understand these machines are partly assembled in Texas, likely with Chinese engines  and transmissions, and maybe with the Vietnamese frames.

It is a fairly crude machine. Don't expect quiet ride or easy maneuvering. Steering can be a chore in rough areas but serves the purpose.   Its a serviceable worker, but hard to explain. The feel is like what you get from a compact tractor, functional but a bit rough around the edges.    Mine has run OK for almost 100 hours with only a few minor items going wrong, all fixed by me.  E Brake is awful, very stiff and has limited adjustment and stiff shifting. You need to keep an eye on it as it can start to slip on hillsides.    Parts availability seems a bit sparse as are the details of the 550's technical manual. 

Overall, it has run and started OK even in this week's zero degrees F and wind.  Mine is used mainly for property maintenance and hauling fire wood out of the woods to the barn for processing/splitting and other maintenance chores.  Nice to have a winch, roof, windshield, and a pick up style tail gate with dumping bed.  I do not go trail riding with it.  I use care in operating it in the woods after downed trees for firewood, and not much open road work.  25 to 30 MPH is plenty on our country dirt road.  I've carried a full load of logs up a very steep hill in 4 WD and it handled it just fine. 

Access to engine is not great without removing seats panels and skid plates.  Even the bed came off for better access to the Ebrake unit.  Oil changes require a lot of rags, and brake kleen to clean up after.  

Seems to have adequate power in LOW, and even plenty of speed in LOW for work I do.  Not a luxury machine for sure.   Cost was a factor for me but it does what I ask of it so far.

I bought a new Hisun Sector 750 in Jan. 2021 mainly due to price and features. I also bought a plow with it to clear snow from my 350' driveway during the 2021 winter since we couldn't go south due to covid. Like Alien10 I use it primarily to haul firewood on our 75ac property and although licensed and insured I rarely take it out on the public roads. I don't abuse it but don't baby it either. I've used the winch a lot to haul large logs out of the bush to where I can easily cut them up and haul the pieces back to my wood pile.

Other than the first winter, it's stored in an uninsulated shed in the winter - only storage prep is to add and circulate sufficient fuel stabilizer. I've left the battery in and cables attached - so far it has fired right up in the spring. I have about 75 hours on the clock.

As for maintenance, other than oil changes, I've been fortunate - just an issue with steering last spring when it would suddenly jerk to the left while driving in a straight line. It was an intermittent and baffling problem. Also fortunately I found a sales/repair shop 10 miles from me that also handles Hisun and they were able to solve the problem.

All in all, I've had a positive experience with my UTV and it's doing what I need it to do. YMMV

I got a new 2022 Hisun Sector 750

I only use it for plowing and does the job but

The transmission is not that smooth and need to really pull it to get it into gear sometimes..  Getting it into LOW is a pain at times

It idles really rough.. The check engine light always pops up when I start but goes away after a few seconds

When i revv over 3000rpms the engine makes a heap of noise.. and can't go over 15mph without hearing it from the engine

      Considering buying a 2021 1500 coleman
      By Rusmis91
      I’ve never been around Coleman Utv machines. Do they have a good reputation, durable dependability. Could you compare them to yamaha rhinos or Polaris ranger
       
      thanks in advance

      Hisun Axis 500 Problems - Hesitation, struggles to go up incline, and low speed regardless of gear range
      By AlphaSerenity
      Hello,
      Before I invest $10k+ into a brand new UTV for the farm, I want to get my feet wet with a fixer upper and learn the mechanical side of things. I acquired a 2022 Hisun Axis 500 (Lowes-specific model) from an auction for $500. It has only 200 hours and 120 miles on the engine. It looks like the previous owner used it for ranch work and didn't drive it on trails, deep water/mud, or anything too crazy.
      While it runs and moves, it has some problems. It struggles to accelerate up any incline in high and low range and sometimes stalls when I let off of the throttle or change gears. When I apply throttle in neutral, it sounds like it is struggling for fuel/air and pops. When I decelerate, there is a grinding sound coming from the clutch, which I've read to be related to the one way bearing and is semi-common. The last thing I've observed is sometimes the speedometer display sometimes will show a much higher value for a few seconds after barely touching the throttle. Based on the documentation, if a problem is detected from the sensors, the instrument panel display should have an error code rendered on the screen in place of the time, but this isn't happening. Here is a video showing some of these issues (engine is exposed with console removed):
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFAkO5TaGps
       
      Here is another video of the clutches in action:
       
      I've done some research, but information on this specific unit and sister units is limited. There does seem to be transmission and clutch issues reported. I still need to check into the head gaskets. I don't have the equipment to test compression right now, but I do plan on ordering what is needed soon. I do have an order in place for some cables to read the diagnostics from the computer. There is a shop two hours away from me that works on Hisun products, but I am hoping the problem can be identified and is something within my ability to handle. Below is what I've already investigated.  I am leaning towards the primary clutch needing replacement right now.
      After getting it home and unloaded, I did the following maintenance/checks to it prior to operating it further:
      Changed the engine/clutch oil (and filter) and gear oils using manufacture recommended viscosity Changed the air filter and checked for cracks in the air intake flow. Verified good suction. Cleaned the throttle body Changed the spark plug and verified the gap was within spec (0.6-0.7mm) Changed the coil and coil wire Changed the fuel lines, fuel injector, and verified the fuel pump was outputting the correct initial prime pressure for ignition and continuous pressure after ignition. Also completely emptied the fuel tank and made sure octane 91+ fuel is being used per manufacturer specs. Ran seafoam through system too. Cleaned the spark arrester and verified no cracks or gaps in the exhaust flow Changed out the O2 sensor Checked all wired connections to ensure they were secured and no breaks were visible Checked the belt for tightness and for any signs of wear and tear Verified 4WD and the differential lock function as expected - still hesitates and struggles uphill Verified the fan gears in the shifter are not corroded and working as expected ECU was reset after replacing sensors and fuel-related parts  
       
      Thanks!

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      Is Your HISUN Loud?
      By HISUN Sector 750 EPS Failu
      "Mrs. Smith" doesn't like how loud our Sector 750 is.  On a HISUN forum someone said the same thing about his 750.  I haven't given it much thought because I've been more focused on stuff that has broken.
      So, I used my decibel meter to check ours out.  4000 RPM, Low gear, under 20 MPH . . . . 97 decibels.  That's above most ordinances, even state boat noise limits.
      AI Overview Ninety-seven (97) decibels is considered very loud and dangerous to hearing with prolonged exposure, roughly equivalent to a newspaper press, a loud nightclub, or a snowmobile. At this level, damage can occur after just 30 minutes, necessitating hearing protection
