Love your content! As a hobby and a way to make a little extra cash I love bringing old machines back to life.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thank you Mike, I appreciate the support. And really glad you are here!

[@brickmason4410]

I just bought one from J&J Power sports in Millbrook Al. 5 miles on it.. It is awesome!! Great power strong running.. we have about 25 miles on it now.. this thing has a tremendously smooth ride.. can't say enough about it.. love it! Very affordable and comes with a lot of extras.. head lights are so cool.. the seating is great , very comfortable with a feel of bucket seats.. get one! You will not be disappointed..

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks for watching and sharing your experience Brick! They are nice machines and the seat comfort is top notch! Congratulations on the new ride!

[@homegrownson]

I used your videos to make to Plunge for a Used Coleman Outfitter 550 and have to admit its one heck of a capable machine that is also fun. I found a few loose nuts/bolts and a fuels line that had just split, other then replacing Screws for Half Doors I love it and its simple enough for Wife to hop right in and not feel like its a Boys toy. Thanks, Bighorn looks like Tractors supplys next step

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Awesome man!!! We have been super happy with the Coleman. Been an absolute beast. Best advice would be change all the fluids and run quality fuel. I also run seafoam through it and it’s been flawless. Hope it gives you years of fun my friend!!!

[@homegrownson]

@@JoeTheFarmer We just did oil changed spark plug and discovered a Mouse or squirrel has been busy, So we are going over all wiring before run it any significant time to insure wiring is not compromised. But agree, the more we work on it the more we discover about it and its going to fill a Need on our 40 acre tree farm

[@JoeTheFarmer]

All I can say is 6 ply tires. Checked tonight. That is impressive!!!

[@peterpanpanpeter9125]

I get mine today. I can't wait to test it out. it looks like a great machine 😊

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Awesome! Congratulations man! I think you will really like it. Extremely comfortable machine.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Great video Joe! Congrats and best of luck!! I was hoping you were going to invite me down for the ceremonial peeling the plastic off event!!

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Hey buddy! I could put some plastic kitchen wrap on there and we can do another take. All good. Sorry about that! 🤣🤣🤣

[@carldupre9865]

love the music change when you pealed the plastic off... hubba hubba....

[@JoeTheFarmer]

🤣🤣🤣. Glad you liked that! Gotta have a little fun when editing. Thanks for watching!

[@mikemiller3007]

Depends on what you want to spend. Probably a good unit. I have a 2012 ranger 800. It has been a wonderful machine. Technology advances in leaps and bounds. Choose wisely

[@JoeTheFarmer]

💯 right brother. Just curious; do you recall what that machine cost in 2012? Could prob sell it for what you paid for it!

[@mikemiller3007]

@@JoeTheFarmer I bought in 2015 for about $9000. Was nearly new at 127 miles and negligible hours. It now has about 7k miles on it. Issues are more about my lack of maintenance than any longevity concerns. Needs brakes and general upkeep like driveline and normal wear issues. Overall has been a great machine

[@JoeTheFarmer]

That’s awesome man. They are great machines and the extra power would be nice. But these new engines are tuned so high that they get more out of less if that makes sense. Glad it’s treated you well!

[@mikemiller3007]

@@JoeTheFarmer it’s really awesome that your channel is attracting enough attention that tractor supply is helping you out. Or at least that’s what it looks like from here. Kudos to you sir👍

Great Video Joe! My hometown of Rogersville Al just announced we are going to get a new Tractor Supply this year!

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Hey Bryan! Thanks man. We spend basically all of our disposable income at TSC so sorry for your loss. Lol. Appreciate you watching brother!

[@tomhuwar3341]

Looks good. Just wonder what the price will be. Tractor Supply is one of my favorite stores. Thanks for the review.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks for watching Tom! I think it will be around 11,499. I remember hearing that but I would suspect like everything it is subject to change. Really like it so far. I’ll shoot you straight on what I think. 😁👍🏼👊🏼

[@warriorlink8612]

While i like how Tractor Supply and Rural King offer these machines, the issue we have (in Florida at least), is how no one wants to service or repair these machines when they break down. Most shops will only service the big name brands due to service manual availability and parts availability. We have a Hisun sector 550 and we have SUCH a hard time finding anyone to work on it for us. Last time it broke down we had to take it to a shop 3 hours away to get some electrical work done. Not saying the Bighorn is a bad machine, I'm sure it's great. But i have learned the hard way that spending more for a big name brand might pay off when you need to find a repair shop, and most are 15-30 minutes away and will have parts, technical manuals, and technicians who are experienced with the design.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Hey! I don’t disagree. It is absolutely a challenge. Truth is about 600k atvs/sxs’s are sold every year and there just isn’t the manpower to service them all. Heck, getting my truck serviced is a headache! I am pretty handy so I service them myself but for major issues it is good to know who will take care of you when problems happen. Btw, we have a sector 550 also. I absolutely love that machine. It is built like a brick. Appreciate you watching!

[@warriorlink8612]

@@JoeTheFarmer I definitely enjoy our sector 550. While using the winch one day, the electrical system overloaded and fried most of the wiring, the winch motor, the battery, seliniod and starter. It was under warranty, and we got it fixed. There are 2 shops in Florida that do hisun warranty work!! 😳 Got it fixed, and it runs fine now. When I need to replace, I may go with polaris or Honda. Not sure though.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

@@warriorlink8612 That's great to hear. And brother, I have friends with every make and model and they all have issues. The Hisun, BigHorn, etc are all built to high standards...but let's face it; they are value machines. I still stand by the fact that I can buy two BigHorns for the price of one loaded Polaris. Change the fluids, grease the zerks and should last a long time. Take care!

[@warriorlink8612]

@@JoeTheFarmer good point!

[@dr.ofdubiouswisdom4189]

Sure hope the engine isn't a Hi-sun, like to hear where some parts are imported from. Hope the price is slightly below your guessestimate, because I can certainly see myself getting pulled into one - looks sweet!

[@JoeTheFarmer]

It’s a nice machine for sure. The engine is not a hisun; though we have had a great experience with the hisun machine. I’ll have an update video out soon!

[@DojibaSabra]

Okay, I might be a little jealous of the dual cup holders, which our Coleman 550 doesn't have. We finally got moved out to our ranch a week ago. So what do we do for entertainment? We go joyriding through the creek at night with our 4x4!

[@JoeTheFarmer]

That’s awesome! And hey, our Coleman is battle tested. This new one is really nice, but we’ll see how it takes the work load. Been super impressed with the Coleman. The BigHorn has big shoes to fill but so far so good! Thanks for watching Donna!

Hey Joe! Hope all is well! I almost sold my Ventrac to get a Polaris Brutus HD PTO. I’ve had many issues with my Ventrac. I think I finally have a good dealer to assist with The Ventrac. We need a Side by Side badly. We are watching to see how it goes!

Nice rig! We have a Polaris at work for getting around the Navy base and it is so LOUD.....that one sounds pretty quiet!

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks man! It’s pretty on par with the Coleman noise wise. They are just tuned higher. Not too bad; but not sneaking up on anyone either! Lol. It’s fancy for sure.

[@headinghome1644]

This just might be the one. Last year I bought a CF Moto 800 Trail. Gave approx. $12.5k out the door. That thing beats the hell out of me. A rough ride to say the least. And loud. So, I'll give this one a look. Any updates that you know of on when it's coming out?

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Hey! Thanks for watching. I know what you mean because as hilly and bumpy as our farm is; the Kawasaki mule throws us around like a rag doll. This machine is going to start showing up around June (what I am told). Definitely try to drive/demo the unit first. They all drive well in a parking lot! Lol

[@Jjason601]

Thanks

[@19dkdelong]

Hey we are located in indiana. I am a big horn dealer. We have some in stock. And you can demo them.

[@michaelwebster2416]

What is the engine valve maintenance like on this machine??

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Haven’t checked that yet but they are adjustable. Wouldn’t suspect it would need to be adjusted for a while.

[@DuckbumSD]

Joe can you give us the bed dimensions ? Thanks 👍 Fyi found a pew pew rack you can mount to the underside of the roof

How is the access to do the necessary maintenance?

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Very simple. We did a full maintenance video on it not too long ago; titled “What You Need to Know”

[@philipcarlson8110]

Run!!! Run away as fast as you can from any big box store sxs. No one local will work on them for you. They turn into a nightmare with no local help.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

What is your concern? Each manufacturer has multiple service centers. Have you looked into them? On a side note; I have never needed to call a service center and I have a lot of these machines.

[@crazyoldgerman1892]

Just curious ,what is the actual wheel base front to back and left to right with the stock tires that came on it. Seeing if it would fit on my trailer, what is the factory weight as listed, you are correct there is no info on any of these machines any where, I am very interested in purchasing a UTV side by side ,and most are crazy $ out of my league , so I would like any information possible, I just turned 61 and I think I could update from my still in perfect condition 1999 Polaris 300 xplorer the starts with 1 tap of the start button. Just looking for a decent little UTV. For giving the grandkids a ride .

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Hey! I don’t have the exact dimensions but it fit easily on my 6x12 single axle trailer. Would fit on a 6x10 too. Sounds like that old Polaris was a good soldier. This machine is nice; but has its quirks. I’ll do a follow up video soon!

[@usmarshall336]

Not bad! A lot of states are starting to let UTV's on roads ( some limitations) What is the top speed with that unit? ** On the road today! NFMS 🚜

Battery? With this heat it can kill a battery fast. Also be sure terminals are tight. I would think if it’s battery tsc would replace it.

Big concern with the metal fuel tank corrosion from moisture. I just replaced a generators fuel tank last week, it was only 18 months old and had tons of flaking corrosion in it. But other than that it looks like a great machine for the farm. I could definitely put one to use on my ranch.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

My problem with a lot of no name brands is parts availability. You can go to any dealer or big atv parts stores for yamaha, Honda, or any other big brands. Your knock off brands good luck finding parts.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

I think that is a fair concern; but they just make SO many of them. Same/similar machines under different brands. Never had any issues with parts…but service in some areas could be a challenge. Thanks for watching!
