American Landmaster L5 UTV First Look

[@ddthien48]

Great video. I was in the market for a UTV to run around the property and haul some firewood. I did quite a bit of research and started seeing the UTV by Amer. Landmaster. I went to my local dealer and got a first hand look at these nice units. I am on a bit of a budget and asked if they had any low hour used units, and to my surprise they did. So I bought a 2022 L5W with only 69 hours on it, and obviously saved a good amount over a brand new one. This one has the camo package with the rack on the front and a poly bed. I have really enjoyed tooling around the place now and it handles the hills very well. Overall I am impressed with the unit and look forward to many enjoyable hours.

Nice ride. Some of those are really nice. We have a couple of the Axis's from Lowes at work. Cheaper brand but run exceptionally well. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible day. Much love and RESPECT brother

The grass gouging with those tires isn't bad if you make wide turns in the -good- grass. It WILL gouge anytime your turning in 4 wheel drive. lol. Your gonna love the head lights, they are really bright! You can easily raise the windshield to cover the gap at the top as rain will come in there when at speed. I did a lot of looking and measuring to get an after market rear window/canvas. It's near perfect but way less then the factory one. You can also find the same mirrors as stock online also and believe it or not they were only a few dollars less the the factory ones they used. This spring I had to take it to the shop to replace one of the front transmission universal boots that looked like it dried out and cracked. Warrantied no problem. They say they're around 80% American made so parts shouldn't be a problem? I looked at a LOT of reviews for most of the cheaper SxS ones and it was either, couldn't get parts or they had a hard time getting them worked on. It was hit or miss with them all. I got a new L5W (the wider version of the L5 tho I think they're all the same now) in early "22 but not really sure exactly what year it is as mine was also sitting on the lot for a bit it looked like. But in the PNW it doesn't take long to look a bit weathered. Mine doesn't have the whine but I think my engine is that much louder. I believe they were starting to upgrade everything in '23 so things have changed. The wife got tired of connecting/disconnecting the trailer to the mower just to water the plants or picking up branch's, etc,. I have a tractor so don't need to carry much, only have 5 acres so don't need to do 45 or 50 mph. The newer ones have a couple of more HP so that should make it just right. I have a neighbor that has a -really- steep driveway and I can keep the pedal to the floor and it will hold it''s speed with 2 people and around a 100lb water tank in the back but no more.

That makes me feel great about the purchase! I do need to ask if the whine is normal? Or do I need to take it in? Thanks for watching!

@@BrailsfordWoodworks I would at least ask the dealer about it. If anything maybe record it and send it via e-mail if you live a ways from the dealer. That way you have notified them in case anything happens down the road. It just depends on the dealer on how they handle things. I know they upgraded quite a few things from mine so the drive train may even be different. I only have around 70 hrs on mine and every things been great so far.

I hear a wine when its running, not sure if its the CVT or what, but that would get to me after a while, I would have to use some hearing protection, its at a range that would drive me crazy, wow

[@BrailsfordWoodworks]

I am going to ask about that. Thanks for watching!

Yes, that could be deal breaker for me..... unless it was a supercharger🤗 I'm surprised a low range option isn't included too considering the sport " utility " nature.
