In Oregon, the ride you are considering is a Class IV ATV - commonly called a UTV or side x side.  Oregon currently does not allow ATVs including UTVs to be street legal (any roadway that is maintained for regular vehicle traffic).  Check with Oregon's Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM).  It will tell you what roads are open for ATV/UTV use.  You might consider 2 sets if tires for what you want to do.  Mudding tires have an extremely aggressive tread design.  You'll wear them out quickly if used on gravel or hard packed dirt roads.  Trail tires are less aggressive.  If you want to do some soft sand riding such as what they have in Glamis, sand paddles might become your 3rd set of tires.

      I use my Hisun 550 (with the Coleman stickers), for general work around my 10 acres of hilly land. Hauling firewood, some dirt and mulch, and debris clean up. Also felling dead standing trees in the woods and hauling rounds out to the barn for splitting/stacking.
      Here's my question:  Those who use their UTVs with towed drag implements or snow plows, have you noticed any issues with early clutch slippage or failures?  Or premature belt wear?  Other drive line issues??
      Thanks in advance for any experienced thoughts and comments.

      I'm sure many of you are aware of Michigan's emergency brake requirement.  I'm wondering if anyone has a good solution. 
      Beyond paying the few fab places $$$$.. I'm curious is there another rear caliper with e brake style that would interchange with slight mods to  the Maverick sport rear mounting bracket?

      I got a utv from lowes it has one tire in the back that is the same size as the front tires so it has 3, 26-9-14 and 1 26-11-24. i want to change the rear tire to the same one as the other.So instead of buying a new rim will a 26-11-24 tire fit on a 26-9-14 rim.

      Hello, I have a 2013 500 utv hisun. Was running ok and cut out while parked. Bike will not start now. It turns over, but won't fire. I have no spark and no fuel. I replaced fuel pump, ignition coil, spark plug, cdi, voltage rectifier and all the fuses and relays. Could bad stater cause no fuel because I can't hear the fuel pump priming. Any info on where to start looking for problem.

      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..
