I'm looking at buying one - this was helpful. Thank you! Mine call me Grandpa.

[@oldmanoldtruck]

I hope you enjoy it like I enjoy mine! Thanks for watching Grandpa!

[@thomasrose5505]

I got the same one, I like it a lot. Its a good looking, practical machine. I agree, the noise and heat are a small issue, but I have gotten used to it. I went ahead and lined my bed with a Rust-o-leum bed liner and after six months its holding up well. I also disconnected the very loud and annoying back-up alarm and wired in some Tractor supply LED lights, which are handy when you are maneuvering in the dark.

[@oldmanoldtruck]

@@thomasrose5505 yeah I think it’s a great machine for the price!

[@RickHaug]

Good review PopPop! Poppi

[@oldmanoldtruck]

Thanks Poppi!

[@chrispajak540]

I’m glad you had good luck with yours. Mine was a horrendous piece of junk. The thing wouldn’t start under 40°, the four-wheel-drive wouldn’t engage when I was plowing with it. I could go on and on, but this thing was horrendous

[@oldmanoldtruck]

I'm sorry to hear this. To be honest that's what I was expecting when I bought mine. It's been a very pleasant surprise for me.

[@philipphilip2174]

They are connected with Coleman Their go carts are junk also. Bought one for my granddaughter. Caught fire needed constant repairs

[@meseahunt]

seems the biggest complaint with owners is the NOISE, the second biggest issue is they QUIT working very quickly, so its a 50/50 shot u either get a runner or a lemon??? 🤠

[@oldmanoldtruck]

Yeah, I guess it's a roll of the dice with a lot of the Chinese small engine products. So far mine works great, I'll probably do an update video at six months. Thanks for watching!

[@craig4831]

Totally agree with your dislikes, noise and heat. Other than that I enjoy mine, still early in ownership, but so far so good. I am PaPa to grandkids! Thanks for the excellent video. Mine is the four passenger model.

[@oldmanoldtruck]

Seems like the most common issue is the noise and heat. Other than that they seem to be a good little buggy.

[@sempergumbie]

Thanks for sharing! Also nice t-shirt old man!😅

[@oldmanoldtruck]

The official shirt of old man old truck!

I bought one over the weekend, figured for the price worth a gamble maybe. I couldn't afford the comparable models at 13-14k, and dind't want to buy used. I see you are 9 months in, any issues? My only issue is the parking brake sensor won't go off, the brake is disengaged and you can tell it is not engaged by how the utv accelerates but the light sensor on the panel won't go out.

[@oldmanoldtruck]

I'd say my only issue is still just how loud it is in the cab. Everything else works fine. I just came in from using it all morning! I'm thinking about doing a one year update video soon. I don't know what would be causing the issue with the parking brake light unless the sensor is mounted poorly maybe?

[@enduringpatriot]

Hi, I just subscribed to you. I have the exact same Model Bighorn and use it almost every day. I've had mine now for about 16 months. I couldn't catch what kind of radio/phone you were talking about? I'm in Pickens, SC.

[@oldmanoldtruck]

The radio is a Baofeng handheld ham radio. This particular model is a dual band so it has FRS/GMRS channels. Hello neighbor! I'm near Pickens myself!

[@enduringpatriot]

@@oldmanoldtruck Where are you?

[@oldmanoldtruck]

@@enduringpatriot near the county airport

[@nomibutler642]

Did you have a problem with a smell?? It’s a horrid smell. Also. We just got it and the EFI light stays on. It worries me. Did you have this problem?

[@oldmanoldtruck]

No, I've had it 7 months now and no problem at all with any smells or EFI lights. Sounds like you have some kind of exhaust issue maybe from assembly.

[@carminezambrotto4926]

Like your vid I own one I thought it was a good buy for the money.

[@marcmills8516]

Mine call me POPs ,Oldest is 18 youngest is 3. Appears we are in the same boat of being the cool senior generation. Happy Healthy Wealthy and wise in our own minds haha... It works

[@oldmanoldtruck]

Retirement is pretty cool from where I sit! I wish you many more years of happiness POPs!

[@roxanahuerzo]

Where you do manteniance oil chance

[@oldmanoldtruck]

My local small engine repair shop does it. If you’re a DIY guy check out Joe the Farmer on KZbin. He does some oil change videos

[@BryonGaskin]

Does the dump bed sides fold down at all? If they do, do they fold flat or do they just fall to the side?

[@oldmanoldtruck]

Only the tailgate folds down. It would be pretty cool if it all folded into a flatbed though.

[@eygtube]

A very nice UTV! Since it's equipped with signal lights, rearview mirrors, horn, etc..Is this street legal in the state of Virginia? Can I register this UTV and get a license plate to drive it on the streets?

[@oldmanoldtruck]

I'm not familiar with the laws in Virginia but here in SC it can be driven on certain streets if you get the proper permits. Similar to driving farm machinery or golf carts on public roads.

[@martinwhite1715]

Thanks for the review, I have a small ranch in Calif and evidently they can't sale ithe Big Horn in this state? Perhaps exhaust emissions? I hope Bighorn can fix that, great UTV for the price!

[@oldmanoldtruck]

Thanks for watching! That’s too bad that they aren’t available there. I’m very happy with mine.

[@bordercollies85]

I was hoping to hear how loud it is, can you add that to your video

[@oldmanoldtruck]

@@bordercollies85 I will do that. I’m planning to do a one year review soon and I’ll make sure to include it

[@robertcrowjr]

Nice little rig. Nicely done.👍

[@oldmanoldtruck]

Thank you sir! I'm really enjoying it so far! Thanks for watching!

[@linarn4671]

can you get enclosure accessories for colder climate and wiper add on?

[@oldmanoldtruck]

I haven’t seen anything like that for the 400. I do believe they make enclosures for the bigger models.

[@hartwellking8135]

I have the 450 with the enclosure..

[@davidblanton-he3ip]

Thank you

[@rogerw8062]

I have one and everything is fine. When I am driving there is a red led with a P inside?

[@oldmanoldtruck]

Is the parking brake fully disengaged?

[@rogerw8062]

@@oldmanoldtruck yes

[@kconleyk15]

I bought one over the weekend and have the same issue, the light won't go off for the parking brake, the brake is disengaged and my two step daughters and daught love the machine, have 30 acres and hopefully it last but perfect for my little area

[@Kirk-z4n]

Noise control? Otherwise nice

[@oldmanoldtruck]

I added a rubber mat to the bed and made a seal where the bed meets the cab. It helped but it’s still a bit noisy. That’s my only complaint about the buggy though.

[@BobNealey]

U get what u pay for, noisy, terrible turning radius,would not start, authorized repair shop said they did not know what was wrong, out of service for 3 months. Went to professional mechanic on Wed fixed less than 48 hrs

[@philipphilip2174]

Who would work on it if something failed

[@oldmanoldtruck]

My local small engine guy works on them. My understanding is that the engine is built from an old Honda design that the patent has expired on. Parts are readily available on the internet.

[@lifeoutdoors-709]

nice machine
