DO NOT BUY A SHERP! WATCH THIS VIDEO! PART 2

I purchased a Sherp a few months ago and this video is about a lot of the nightmares I've dealt with ever since. Between not being able to reach anyone in Service to finding VELCRO as a main fastener for all the interior finishes, my dealings with SHERP have been utterly TERRIBLE. If your in the market for one of these for your business or personally, I would HIGHLY advise you keep on searching. I was sold like most of you on the capabilities by the videos SHERP posts. So I'm clear, I want to make sure you know that the capabilities are ridiculous. Ive had mine in and out of water, ice to water and back to ice, snow, steep grades and everything between and it performed great. My issues are mechanically and interior fit and finishes. To elaborate, I have 18 hours on my machine that I put on it (bought it brand new and it had 14 hours on it from the factory) ((testing and what not I'm sure)) and I already am having charging issues. My alternator is bad and since this machine is built in Ukraine, finding parts is a nightmare. Dont think your going down to your local Doosan dealer and getting whatever parts you need cause that's not going to happen. Dealing with SHERP North America has been a complete and total joke. They claim they will pay for the repairs and warranty work, they told me to hire my own mechanic (hilarious since no one knows how to work on these cause they wouldn't have any training). The heater is a total joke, they claim the machine is good to -40F but I'm here to tell you that fitted the way they send it, you would freeze to death. Velcro holding on the quilted pad lining the whole inside of the machine. Terrible Terrible Terrible fit and finish. I cannot stress that enough. Between that and trying to find parts to work on this thing, I would advise to STAY AWAY FROM SHERP! Especially based on how I have been treated. I paid $135,000 for my machine and the service department at Sherp North America won't even call me back to help fix my charging problem so currently my machine is inoperable.

*This is what we call, "A Friday Afternoon job." Someone was either drunk, improperly trained, and somehow, this vehicle got out of the factory without a proper quality control check done on it. In short, demand either a total refund, or for SHERP to replace your vehicle. Maybe time to lawyer up ?*

Thank you for the very very honest review. Most videos portray the sherp as all “puppies and rainbows”.

[@chargermopar]

The Sherp is a fine atv if it was priced as it should be. There;s not more than 20K worth of value in it. There is someone in Iowa building his own budget version and some day I want to build one too. Good for you warning the rest of us who cannot afford a Sherp that we are not missing out on anything. My 1972 Attex is still running and has been cheap to fix and it tons of fun.

[@PutlerXLO]

Seriously, 20k? For a small batch niche product with a lot of manual labor? Ok, build the same thing and I will buy it for 20k :D Its tires alone cost about $8k))

[@chargermopar]

@@PutlerXLO You really think there was more than 20K worth of parts in that thing? Sherps seem to fall apart throughout their life. This is the same as the old 6 wheelers they descended from. Cheap rigid frame chain drive machine, no suspension or any high tech. Should sell for no more than 50K at the time. With inflation now they would be more expensive although I think the geopolitcal situation is not currently favorable

[@PutlerXLO]

@@chargermopar Well, if you consider the cost of scrap metal, then probably even less :) There is manual small-scale production, development from scratch, and no conveyors or robots. They will not sell it at cost of production. Tesla in the early years cost more than $100k, with complete automation and a huge scale of production and a bunch of investors. Sherp most likely has credit funds, and the loan is at 20-25% per annum. I think its fair price is 60-80k dollars, but since people buy for 130k, then it costs 130k - this is a business. iPhone does not cost $1200, its components cost $300, nevertheless, people buy it, and sleep in lines. Although it sells with multimillion-dollar parties. For 130k$ you can buy at least two planes with 2 passengers seats like A-22, so yeap this is over price.

[@theincredulousr]

It shouldn't really matter that the fan runs from cold as the radiator will have a stat (or should have) so water will only flow through the radiator when it needs cooling. Yes they could add a thermostat/fan control but that is another thing to go wrong. My understanding of this machine is that it is designed to keep going in extreme environments and that means reducing the amount of things you have to rely on.

[@Katzbynite]

IF this is under warranty, why have they not taken this back? Does Alaska have Lemon Laws like many of the lower 48? If they sold you a bad product then they should either fix all of these problem or refund you your money. If they won't then take them to court, why remain stuck with 135, 000 bad product since you have documentation of all the issues? Somethings are too good to be true. I would not want the headache.

[@ccclc6159]

good videos, hope you sent these videos to the sherp company. a Canadian company PAMI used to test farm equipment and send a fault report to the manufacturer, the manufacturer usually responded by improving the design flaws or explained why certain things were done in certain ways.

The one circuit is wired backwards to the on and off. It's a parasitic draw on the batteries, because when you're on its off, and when you're off it's on.

In your last video you said sherp stopped replying to you thinking they were mad at your other videos and your honesty. What ever happened? Did you eventually get a mechanic to take a look at it or are you having a legal battle with them now? Last sherp video was 7 months ago curious how its doing now now.

I think that dumb hydraulic motor radiator cooling fan is there because when the vehicle is in the water, it can get wet. Most cars just use a thermostat and a electric fan, it save power too.

[@mini1293blue]

It's a terrible design the engine is always going to run way too cool in a cold enviroment which is a sure way to shorten it's life. Could easily be solved with a thermostat and a spool valve or a thermostatic clutch.

The sherp n was built because of the engine kubuta couldd not mak it into the states because of emmisions.I wouldnt advise buying an n. Also for all theese unitss hes right where do you work on them?Think about that.I could go on and on. Anyways good luck. My advice look into the FAT TRUCK

Lol!!! Love your videos!! Wanna sell that P.O.S??? FAT truck is looking pretty good right now!

[@EdstromCo]

Watch the video of the comparison between sherp and fat truck. I wouldn’t buy a fat truck but I’d definitely sell my Sherp lol…I think a few years need to go by before a quality product is put out that the public can rely on in situations where we are hunting far away from help or something. They just aren’t reliable. The problem with Fat truck is they are to reliant on electronics. That’s one of the things that drew me to a Sherp in the first place. They have similar electronics to a Cat skidsteer (which I own) and inevitably the electronics fail more than anything and I didn’t want that when I was hunting in the middle of no where or out on a wildfire helping the forestry in the middle of no where. They are both cool machines but even knowing what I know now, I’d buy a Sherp still. Sounds stupid but it’s the truth. If I absolutely HAD to have one, which no one does, it would be a Sherp but I would t recommend anyone buy one for a few years and let them work the bugs out. Terrible waste of $140,000. Their values as a company are so bad. They have completely stopped talking to me now. I’m dealing with an independent dealer who’s been more helpful than Corp. They are upset about these videos. Too bad though, make a better product. If they didn’t screw me over I wouldn’t post these but they did so now they can suffer whatever wrath comes from them. I have another video that’s probably the most damning one of them all. Emails and communication between Sherp corporate, Argo and myself in regards to these machines. It’s sooooooo bad for them.

@@sherpusa The video you reference is a joke. Whenever you compare apples to oranges you are instantly wasting your time and ours. If you wanted to compare the Fat Truck to a Sherp you should have picked the smaller Sherp Pro 1000, which by price, weight, size, and capability is the only match up with the Fat Truck. This video fails to provide any meaningful comparison since it doesn't mention the price of either machine, alludes to an independent test ground, whatever that is, and is clearly biased towards the Sherp since an independent test agency didn't do the testing. Another joke is the comparison of the warranty of the two vehicles with claims that because the Sherp offers a longer warranty period somehow that makes it more reliable, which is utterly stupid and unproven by anything in the video. As far as ease of use, if you think pulling on two levers while you are clutching and shifting and pushing on an accelerator pedal is better than using one single joystick for all drive functions then you obviously haven't driven the Fat Truck and experienced the simplicity of having one control for all driving purposes, including counter-steering, something the Sherp will never be able to do since you can't make the tires on one side of the Sherp go in the opposite direction of the tires on the other side of the vehicle like you can with the Fat Truck, an extremely useful advantage when operating off-road in narrow confines. Better luck next time guys.........
