It has done this since day one that we purchased it from Tractor Supply. I contacted the service man that Tractor Supply recommended and he told us that there wasn't anything he do to help us with. Has anyone had this same problem and can offer suggestion on to correct this issue ? It would be greatly appreciated.

I do have a couple of suggestions, first always allow the engine to idle below 2000RPM, if it won't do that adjust the idle down to around 1800 RPMS, If that still don't work keep your foot on the brake peddle and kill the engine, then with your foot still on the brake shift into the gear you need and hit the starter, my 400 Buck will then start.

I also purchased a 2021 Massimo 450 Buck, have not had any issues until a couple months ago, when I shift to low range and then attempt to shift into reverse or shift to high it is grinding and doesn't want to go into reverse or high. I looked at the shifter cables and there are two of them thinking that I need to adjust the shift cable but not sure which way to go or which cable is the problem.

this is just the nature of the beast "gears grinding when shifting " make sure it is idleing BELOW 2000 RPM'  OR  STOP , kill the engine ,   shift Gear,  put your foot on brake and start the engine"

See, thats the big problem with Massimo..  shops refuse to work on them because Massimo wont honor warranty and pay repair claims.. 3 shops here started out as  Manufacturer authorized shops.. now NONE will work on them because they NEVER GET PAID by Massimo..........One will work on them but only if you pay cash in advance because parts take months to arrive . Massimo is a horrible rip off company in Dallas TX.. When I tried to make them pay for repairs, It broke on its FIRST DAY in its first mile!!!     the Rep told me.... " NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!"   seriously, that what he said to me on phone .. They suck

not recently......when i bought our mule in 2015 it was pretty pricey...........then add on accessories.........but if you saved several thousand to purchase an off brand, and it implodes in a short period of time, with no one to support it or fix it, are you really saving money......believe me,, i understand about spending the extra $$............. when i told my spouse how much i was spending on the mule, with blade, winch, cab enclosure, i got the "look".............

Its true Massimo is a horrible company, BUT His implosion is not a common issue.. Its the first I have heard of.  Not everyone can go out and drop $20K  on a new toy.  ..........After working all the    "bugs" out of mine, it has been running very well for more than a year .. and it's used every weekend .

glad you have good luck with yours Joe..........i know a lot of folks on this site like the utv's that are meant for off road fun,  that go fast......my mule is used around the house for work related stuff, so speed isn't that important............and the prices must have gone up significantly since i got mine in 2015, i didn't pay anywhere near 20 grand, including cab enclosure, winch and plow..........

 The prices are insane now when you start adding optional equip..   Mine is no speed demon by any means  my friends smoke me on top speeds ............, it will do 42mph on level ground with a good running start but it does VERY WELL in deep mud uphill in 4WD Lock.  .. I have friends with "premium " brands that ride with me sometimes and twice I have pulled them out of a big mudhole that I just went thru successfully.  and by pulled, I dont mean with my winch.

Yes very insane prices!! If anyone here even know where or how to start fixing this issue any help will be greatly appreciated. I have spoke with massimo and they don't give two shits.

I wish I knew what happened. After I shifted it into gear it started making a different noise and died. I got out and looked underneath it and found that! Barely a year old.

I would think that the part that blew up would be all that is bad, looks like it showed you where the problem is

      I have a 2007 Joyner 1100 sand viper and  before it even get's to where the thermostat opens up the oil pressure get's so low I have to shut it down. What could fix this ? I thought about adding an oil cooler with fan, thicker oil, or removing the thermostat. Any advice?

      I bought a 2017 Stampede 900 last fall that was new, old stock with less than 5 hours on it thinking that I would be getting a relatively trouble free UTV as compared to buying a used Polaris or CanAm, or Honda, etc. It's been a little quirky, but reliable. What I thought was just a minor issue with this model, the difficulty in shifting between R, N, L, H, etc., was just a characteristic of this model is now a big problem. I had to climb two very steep trails to get to the upper meadow of our hunting property, which seemed to stress the UTV more than usual since I was carrying some lumber to work on a platform for a hunting blind, and when I went to shift into park, I felt something give and it would not shift out of low, but it did move up into high gear.  I couldn't get it to shift at all at that point and the shifter felt mushy for lack of a better word. I was able to get it down to the lodge and when I investigated, I discovered that the straight, metal tube portion of the shift cable had bent to almost 90 degrees (see pics). I'm positive that it had already had some deformation that had happened previously and it had the right amount of resistance to bend to the point where it was unusable. 
      I have two questions:
      1. I suspect that there must be some other issues that makes this UTV difficult to shift, and I'm wondering if this is a common problem and if someone could enlighten me on what could cause this to be difficult to shift?
      2. Have any of you had this happen and if so, how difficult is it to replace the shifter cable?
      Any other advice is welcome, this is the first UTV that I've ever owned, so I don't know much about working on these or maintaining them. I'm relatively capable when it comes to working on my own vehicles in general, and I'm not afraid to take things apart and get my hands dirty.
      Thanks in advance for any insight, I'll be traveling most the day so I won't get a chance to look at replies until this evening.

      Onto the next problem, everything has been replaced in the charging system except the Flywheel Rotor, I have it torn apart all the way down to said rotor, but it is suggested that a specific puller is required, and a compatible rotor seems virtually impossible to find.  I can find many like it, but this one is mine scenario for those that get the reference.  For all I know I have the last Massimo Buck 400S on the planet and will never find another part again, but who knows.  Any ideas, help or otherwise that anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.
