On the subject of the big UTV's, my brother in law recently bought a big Polaris one, I think it's an 800 Ranger or something? He paid over $17,000 for it, guessing closer to $20,000 by the time he got it home with the options he picked. At that price point the Chinese ones are less than half the cost. Again though, my only fear is the future availability of parts down the road. :?:

I just looked up a John Deere Gator, a fancy one. Comes with a three cylinder, and only cost 20 grand! I think for the most part it is a Kawasaki Mule, in John Deere green!

Just to let you know, I think I am going to buy one of these, as soon as they run a promotional price. I expect they will, they did a few months a go. The price should be about 63 hundred for the Yamaha Rhino clone made by HiSun I think. It will also have the aluminum wheels, winch, doors, and the 700 cc engine. I talked to the ATV repair shop that does the repair, and he says they appear to be identical. He says he thinks it is a great machine. Below is the link.

I know a few guys that have bought the HISUN clone RHINO's.
they all say the same: take all the critical nuts off and replace them with nylock nuts put electrical grease in all the electrical connectors change the oil and put synthetic in as soon as you get it home whenever you replace a part when it breaks see if the YAMAHA part will replace it NOT the chinese part. put some good rubber on it and get rid of the cheap stock tires they send it with, they will be flat or torn and leave you stuck way out there. Use them as spares if you canfind some cheap steel rims to put them on and mount them in the box, one front tire and one rear. other than that they all love them and they are 1/3 the cost so you can do some serious options and put lots of repair money in and have a nice machine that lasts for a lot of years.

Thanks for the input, I have had several negative comments, so yours are good to hear. I love bargains, but that is yet to be seen. I will wait for the sale price, and then, I will buy unless I get some bad info.
