What is the best way to tie down a SXS to a trailer. I'm thinking of using a nylon lifting slings (chokers) around a frame member and ratchet straps tightened to an anchor eye on trailer. Trying not to over think it but want SXS to stay on the trailer. Another question is do I place a ATY in front of SXS or rear.

I use ratchet straps  on mine... leave in gear with park brake on.. place heaviest weight to front of trailer. Too much weight on rear of trailer will make it duck-walk at 60 mph .. very unsafe  And if you have a  top on yours, make sure it is well secured.. Some will fly off at 60-70 mph

      2019 Cub Cadet Challenger 400, trailer to transport the Challenger, and new, never used winch for sale
      By RBonds007
      I bought this SxS brand new.  A couple of years after I bought it, I became disabled.  Thus it has only 47 miles and around 16 hours of use.  I have no need to keep the SxS.  I am in Foley, Alabama.  It is very hard for me to get in out of the Challenger.  I would like to sell the set, 2019 Challenger 400, trailer and uninstalled winch (this was bought brand new as well, someone was supposed to help this newbie install and we never got around to doing this). I want  $6500 for the whole set OBO (Serious offers only).

      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.

      Hisun accelleration goes up and down
      By oakhill
      When I am moving forward on my Hisun 500, the motor accellerates up and down while I have my foot on the gas pedal.  It also is not idling very well.  Both symptons appeared at about the same time.  What should I look for?  Thanks.

      Best Practices for Soft Cab Enclosures?
      By hetovi
      Hi everyone,
      I’m considering installing a soft cab enclosure on my vehicle and wanted to get some insights from experienced users.
      I’m particularly curious about which materials hold up best in different weather conditions and how to properly secure the enclosure to prevent leaks or wind noise.
      Are there specific brands or models you recommend for durability and ease of use?
      Also, how do you handle cleaning and maintenance without causing damage?
      Any tips, tricks, or common mistakes to avoid would be incredibly helpful.
