We’ve had our MSU 500 about 9 years with only light use on our ranch. This was a Black Friday purchase at Tractor Supply and we have enjoyed it without any significantly major issues. However recently the transmission has started making a kind of grinding sound which has me concerned. My biggest complaint with Massimo is the difficulty in finding someone in east Texas to actually service them. This is odd considering they are headquartered right near here in Garland, Texas. Although they do post a list of authorized service centers, you soon find when contacting them that quite a few of these places no longer exist and closed years ago. Others say they no longer service Massimo and haven’t for years. They’ve unsuccessfully tried to get Massimo to remove their names from their site. Others have said they have never serviced Massimo. It’s very misleading (even fraudulent) for Massimo to continue promoting a list of service centers when they know it is not current or even correct. I’m surprised there’s not a class action suit because of the extent of it.

I bought this tboss 550 last week and brought it into a super remote shack in Northern Minnesota. It did great! Cold snowy starts. And handled the trail better than my 570 sportman. (Bottomed out less) The battery and winch combo isn't up to par for heavy use situations though. Broke passenger side mirror as well. Machine is not 54" as advertised. (Manual even pays 58") This machine very well be the best buy as long as i can manage the maintenance. HAVENT HAD TO ORDER ANY PARTS YET. Thanks for then video bro. Will check out some more. 🎉😊

Got the Tboss 560 with the upgraded 10inch lcd screen. Comes loaded with winch, windshield, roof and gps. Recently changed tires at 300 mile mark and put on a set of SunF A021 tires. Ride mostly on the street and paved/rock roads. Sold original tires to my neighbor for his Polaris. The Sunf Tires are less noisy on the road and helps to cut down on the vibration these machines are prone too. Didn't get it to go trail riding anyway, putzing around town and ride to the local lake with my dog. He rides shotgun and enjoys the sxs more than me, I think.

I had a 2017 Honda Pioneer 500 . I put over 3000 miles on it with no problems or oil leaks. I loved that machine. Sold to when we moved.

Where did you finally get the rearview mirror .. I bought one of these to help me with yard work ..Thanks

Good points on your review. I bought a used 2020 Bennche Tboss 550. Not the 550F model with the metal box, but otherwise the same thing. No rattle issues, but that may be because it's a plastic box. When I got it, I thought it had reverse lights. Turns out it has brake and turn signal lights only. When I put in reverse, it makes the beeping noise, which can be disconnected. I believe yours is the same, but could be wrong. Anyway, thanks for the video.

Ya I have no idea why someone would buy one of these. For the price of the 760 you can buy a cfmoto uforce1000 and there are dealers everywhere for cfmoto. These intrigue me because of there looks but being un known brand there price point is way too high. Just not worth throwing that much money away to be disappointed down the road. Better off spending a little more and buying a more well known brand.. The reason I mentioned cfmoto is they are proven and been around awhile and also in someways cheaper to buy then one of these.

So. Not for trails? I have a can am defender. Work machine....but does great on trails also.

If you are inclined rig it but seals going out replace bearings might fix it.

Have 400 buck never a problem 6yrs but bigger ones have more stuff to break water engins junk? Also have kawasaki 300 prairie 2wd its a 2000 still going strong its air cooled all water cooled junk?

The metal plate on the rear where you attach the extender for a hitch-haul is very weak, Bent it with a 130 pound pig. Extender was about the same length as what you have too.

Funny how most people get along fine with these.

I saw one of these at T.S.C. and I immediately realized there was no Brand Name that I could find, ( Anywhere !! ) especially in the usual brand name places, ( Hood, Doors, Dashboard or Tailgate !! ). But there are some Really BIG Numb3rs, I bet Bambi is still running for his life !!! I left--went home and guess what ?? Your u-Tube was very near the top of the listings for this P.O.S. !!.......................T.Y. for the Truth !!!...............

How much did you pay for it?

Look up Linhai and you will see they partnered with Yahama in 1994 but have a declaration that it limits this information, they have been building engines since 1956 if memory serves me well.

The tboss 550 uses a cfmoto engine not the yamaha clone it's a cf188 motor. The rear diff has a service update on the fluid level

Just bought the 850 MSU back in May and it’s already on its third throttle cable and now something exploded on the drive belt end. At only 53 miles on it. Biggest mistake of my life was buying this. Never ever buy a Massimo. Pure garbage and I’m out fifteen grand

I bought 2022 850 MSU brand new... there's 16k ish down the drain. I gave up trying to get a hold of them and get parts to fix the problems. 16k yard ornament is what it has become

Who put the new seals in?

Mor miles, more hours on my hisun… zero problems…

I have a buck 450 that I just got 1 year ago and I'm now happy with it the drive power sucks and the drive belt slips And the clutch system sucks and it only has 35 miles on it o and the starting system sucks 😢 not happy at all it can't even get out of it owne way I will never buy another one again

Sounds like a tps sensor problem.

Use resale value to your advantage... Buy a slightly used one.

I got a buck 450 1 year and a month later only 35 miles getting peace o aluminum chunks and they will not even stand behind it its a peace of shit

200 miles in a year, i put 500 miles on my XP in 3 months. I was kind of interested in these and after seeing this im glad I didn't buy one.

Wasn’t that machine like 11k?

I've had myT-Boss 550 for a week and it is falling apart!!!

Is great video! It encouraged me not to buy lol

Better change bearings

Dont buy from big box

That’s why I own a Gator.. JD👍🇺🇸

Wants apropmto?

Sounds like you have a vacuum leak

Five reasons that are the same reason!!! You bought a UTV for $10K instead of $20K and parts are on Amazon or available from warehouse in Texas?!?!? You must be a rep for a name brand!!!

Clean your throttle idle Valve. Probably got carbon built up.😝🤪

Dont avoid Massimo they are a great brand!
