Massimo Buck 450 winch remote?


Jay77

Recommended Posts

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 :

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.

      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

      Hi All,
      New to UTVs and recently accuired a ut400 from our local Alaska Commercial Co. and had a questions regarding the transmission fluid. I have had a squeeling noise, sounds like a teapot, that recently started after being driven for a few minutes. The manual says to change the fluid at 500 miles, so I was thinking maybe its just time for this to be changed. Other then that I cannot find any information regarding the type used. While reading through these forums, I seen someone put that the transmission is lubricated with the engine oil. Is this true? If not what should I be using and where can I find the information to change it out? Any input on this would be greatly appretiated!
      Thanks in advance

      I have a Bennche 700 EFI Bighorn. I’ve recently been unable to get it to start. After a little troubleshooting I realized my fuel pump was not pumping fuel. This weekend I emptied the gas and replaced it with new. I replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel injector. I also replaced the battery, spark plug and made sure all my fuses and relays were good. I have confirmed that the float on the fuel pump is not obstructed. The UTV is about 12 years old and has less than 100 hours on it. It has not run in over a year.  Not sure whats going on?!? After doing a little reading I'm leaning towards it being an issue with the ECU or perhaps a faulty wire in the wiring harness. Anyone have any ideas on where to start looking or what I could be dealing with? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

      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?
