Cub Cadet Challenger 750, 550 Walkaround

Powersports Business editor in chief Dave McMahon got some seat time in the all-new Cub Cadet 750 and 550 UTVs at the Foot Hill State Forest trails in Minnesota. Cub Cadet UTV marketing manager Tom Mielke provided an inside look at the new machines. The ROPS is worth a look.

Bought one of these this past summer. So far it has been a great vehicle with a lot of cool features that came standard. I work in the automotive field and noticed the quality build of this unit. Well thought out and executed. Looking forward to many new accessories when they become available.

Hi Matt, would you be so kind as to measure the width of the wheels from left to right? I need an accurate measurement of the width. And id prefer the width of the face of the left wheel to the face of the right wheel. thanks jason

We bought ours yesterday. I love my Cadet mower but was very serious about buying a Polaris UTV. When I saw this, I never looked back. 3 years zero percent financing, a 3500 lb. winch, reinforced doors, windshield and many, many other things included as standard that are options on the Polaris. When I saw it, I thought, Wow! This is more than I thought I could afford. Our salesman and long time friend said "We have had a couple coming back for clutches, If you are just putting around, please keep it in low." I trust him, and we shall see.

I love the select-able locking front and rear differentials, and almost a complete cab with a winch and turn signals, mirrors, etc. included from the factory for a down to earth price...FYI these are all options on other brands, and select-able differentials front and rear don't exist, I think Cub Cadet is first on that...they're either locked all the time or limited slip front, or locked front, but the rear on most are locked. Love the layout of the Cub Cadet...I guess maybe it'll be my next purchase of yellow equipment, just bought a Cub Cadet XT1 42" 18HP Lawn Tractor this year and it does great.

Excellent presentation! Impressive machine at a logical price.

Nice video!

They do look good

I'd like to be able to roll the windows up and down. Doesn't appear possible now, but maybe in the future.

Where can I order the hard doors for my 2021 challenger 550

[@joshuababilonia1390]

How much are they

[@tmaq9726]

One of many namplates that is a rebranded HiSun

[@rugby3874]

Hisun builds good stuff

[@bullrambler]

Who makes the engine for the 750 Club Cadet...? And is there a heater and wiper available for this unit...?

[@THEjasonTDI]

HiSun builds it all. Chinese, but a high end one. This is sold as several other UTV's, also.

[@bullrambler]

Thanks for providing an answer about the engine builder.. But i'm not sure if you answered whether they can add a heater and wiper...? I'd be looking at the potential of a UTV as a multi seasonal vehicle as there is a good amount of winter in Canada.

[@marcuscorvain1204]

@@bullrambler if you're still looking and depending on your budget I would look at the Honda Pioneer if you haven't yet

[@georgescreeksawshop]

BigRed56 not sure about a wiper but you can add heat

[@jasond1245]

Yep this is a rebranded hisun sector 550 or 750 bit looks like the cab front bumper and some other stuff are different.

[@pbsfix269]

Camera lense is filthy

[@ramcummins0521]

These are rebranded Chinese hisun

[@Rancher-xx5vt]

Ram cummins 05 yes they are built by Hisun, I have owned a Hisun 500 XI UTV for 5 years and it has 5000 kilometres on it. Total cost of ownership above the purchase price has been less than 500 dollars in parts, including oil filters and oil. I maintain it well with regular oil changes and grease jobs however. I am definitely going to give the Cub Cadet a serious look this coming week and will be making a purchase soon.

And?
