Back in time

  1. 1. Would you choose another UTV/SxS manufacturer if you could go back and do it again?

    • Yes! in a heartbeat
    • No way!
    • I wouldn't buy a different brand, just another model that was out also.

Some of us have had our Side by Sides for a long time and some of us for only a few years or months.... They say hindsight is 20/20 and in that case if you could go back and purchase a different UTV brand that would be better, would you?

after you've answered, comment below on why you may or may not choose differently

I would've preferred to have the kubota diesel. Much better design. Although I have no idea how durable it is. Or what kind of product support is offered by the manufacturer.

I drove one for a few days at work. It has a much better layout of the controls, power steering, three forward speeds, instead of two. Tractor style stomp pedal for locking the rear differential. And the gas guage is on the dashboard.

I had weak moments I'd say..  where I considered if I should have gone a different route.. And thought of acting on it a few times too..  But instead of trading I changed the Trooper to better it in the areas where it was lacking! And what my Trooper has become today is something hard to beat.. It turns heads and is a animal on trails and hill climbs! 

Upgrades:

· Custom Electric power steering w/ 2:1 steering quicker

· Hand crafted aluminum intake w/22mm larger throttle body

· Port & polished

· Hand built Intercooled supercharger kit

· Haltech elite 1500 ECU w/ wideband controller & custom tune

· Haltech smart coils & Audi 1.8T injectors

· Lowered diffs w/ skid plates

· Fox air shocks all around

· 30" Sun-f power tires on Sedona beadlocks

·  LED headlights, lightbar, clearance lights and rock lights.

      My 2018 Hisun sector crew engine cut off after about 15 minutes run. There is no indicator of what is wrong, no error code just die and won't restart until it cool down. I notice that the fan is not running but the temp indicator is on low temp, no overheat indicator. I checked the radiator fluid, it is cool to touch.
      Cooling fans are working, I can hear it running once awhile if I can get the engine warm up enough.  Thank you for all the help.

      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!

      Hello, 
      I found an 08 Renegade for sale and looking to purchase it.  I haven’t heard too much about these machines and any insight would be much appreciated.  Are they good machines?

      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.
