Got a practically new (but used) 2021 Buck 450.

Tried out the winch to move a log, and realized quickly it is really awkward without a remote to be able to watch the winch as you roll it up or let it out. Was it supposed to come with a remote?  Or do you just let it out and pull it in blindly from the dashboard control?

 Mine didn't come w/ a remote either.  So I ordered one of these off of amazon.  It matched perfectly.  Plugged directly into what was there.   Good luck.  

 

Which Model Massimo UTV do you have?  Plugged into what? The Buck 450 has no connector for a remote as far as I can see.

I have the 410 buck.   The relay box that they sent plugged right into the winch relay box on the utv.  .    Remote came w/ a key fob to run it from the side or you can run the winch from inside the utv.   

Unfortunately for the Massimo Buck 450 there is no factory winch remote and no port installed for adding a remote.

I've looked and tried to find any access to the in/out wiring for the Buck 450. I see no way to attached an aftermarket remote to the winch. The control leads are not exposed anywhere as far as I can find. Looks like they go from the sealed relay control box to the dash switch almost entirely sealed in the wiring harness. Anyone have any ideas how to do a winch remote connection on the Buck 450  without slicing into the main wiring harness? The winch switch is the leftmost in the photo.  Looks like the wiring is heat shrinked to the terminals and it's virtually impossible to get to the back of the switch anyway. This photo was taken from the passenger side wheel well  reaching as far as I could with my phone between everything that's in the way. 

Looking for suggestions and if anyone has added a remote to the BUck 450, please share your knowledge.

I haven't tried this yet, but seems the Massimo T-Boos 550 comes with a wireless remote winch receiver already installed in the winch control box. Some owners have purchased a winch remote from Amazon and reprogrammed the remote transmitter to match.  It's a simple process to pair the remotes.  Hoping the Buck 450 has the same setup. 

Here's an example :

https://www.amazon.com/Recovery-Wireless-Control-Handset-Controller/dp/B08QV3Y4HP/ref=dp_prsubs_2?pd_rd_i=B08QV3Y4HP&psc=1

I'm going to try this and I will let everyone know the results.

If this link works correctly open it and you will see a square black box that says liebmaya on it.    When I got this kit from amazon I looked at my winch on my 410 and in the wheel well or close to it was this black square box.  I opened and removed it from my utv and installed the new one.   Wires matched, it was all the same box.   It worked flawless.  My utv was sold w/ a remote for the winch.. however I bought it used and the owner had lost the remote.

      trying to finish assembly "new" 2021 Coleman ut 400
      By buckrub
      Hey guys! Newbie here. I'm an old man who's better with plowing a mule (4-legged kind) than these newfangled beasts. I, and a friend of mine, just bought new Coleman sxs and are having to finish the assembly. I've been reading on this site and I'm falling on the mercy of you experts. The only way I'm an expert is that an "ex" is a has been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure. LOL First off, the 2 buggies have no ignition switches. They seem to mount on the dash, not the opening in the steering wheel shaft cover, so we ordered new ones that are supposed to fit. They are 8 inches long, and have a 4-wired white plugin which is slightly rectangled when looking at the end of the plug. The trouble is there's nothing to plug into. There is a three-wire grey plug close enough to reach the four-wire plug, but of course, they are not compatible. 
      Secondly, the blinker, light, ect. unit on steering wheel just spins around when touched. I see no way in heaven or earth to secure it. I've looked at a diagram on the Powersports site, but can't detect how it mounted. Fellows I'd be so grateful for any help with this. Me and my mule will even plow your garden for free, for your help. LOL

      Massimo Buck 400 overheating
      By KMart
      I have a Massimo 400 Buck that overheats and the antifreeze blows out of the motor everywhere! I don’t have to be doing anything but just driving through the field.  It only has 26 miles on it.  I don’t think the fan is turning to cool the motor.  Any ideas how to fix this?

      2021 UTV 400 going downhill something releases to "Neutral" loud Clacking noise.
      By Robert B
      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.

      Free Massimo Buck 400 service manual
      By strike250
      I have the factory service manual available for the Buck 400. Just send me a message with your email and I'll get it to you. Although there is no charge for this, it would be great if  you would visit my website where you could donate any amount to help do things like this with others who need it. Again, there is no charge for this manual, and no obligation to donate. But if you did, I would thank you for sure. Have fun on the trails. www.warriorsoffroad.com
