Tractor Supply Side By Side Is Loaded With Upgrades!!!

Tractor Supply Side By Side is PACKED With Upgrades!!! Lately Lowes, Tractor Supply Company, Rural King, Scheels and every other retailer seems to be selling UTV's! We were approached by Massimo and they offered to send us one of their T Boss 550 Side by Sides to share what we think. This machine is PACKED with features and has an impressive amount of power and features for the money. At $9,999 this side by side will be offered at Tractor Supply with the options featured. Not only does this side by side offer a tremendous amount of value, it is also a beautiful machine on the outside. The 496cc machine comes with a 10 inch lcd screen, an locking differential, electronic four wheel drive and a front and rear facing camera! If you are looking to buy a side by side for your property, farm, neighborhood or hunting lease.

I just was out goofing off went to tractor supply seen the T boss. I was impressed bigger and nicer than I thought from your video. I'd say it is nicer for the money than home depots and Lowes machines. The only downside is the bed size. 😊

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Its a really good looking machine. And drives great. The bed size is modest, but would get most jobs done. It could hold your cooler! Lol

[@mileshiles1287]

@JoeTheFarmer I might want that over a golf cart I liked it plus 4x4 capability. Nicer than I thought 10k not ridiculous.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

It was 8,999 on black friday!

[@scottwilson2953]

Great video, Joe. One thing I learned with my Massimo 550 is to let the EFI cycle first. In other words, turn the ignition one click, let the tack cycle up and down, when the tack is back down, the fuel has been injected. I noticed in a few of your videos it sounds like it takes a second or two to turn over. Let the machine cycle first, then turn over. It will save your starter in the long run.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks for sharing! Appreciate it brother.

Excellent review 👏

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks for watching buddy!!! Doesn’t have red paint and you still approve?!? Lol. Hope all is well!

Nice ride. The winch is pretty handy to reach those logs far off the beaten path. Great video and machine

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks for watching! We def have some tree work to do. Lol. Merry Christmas!

[@John.17.3]

Ok Joe, I just bought mine today with $500 off and a 48 month no interest deal and since they used it as a demo Tractor Supply mgr knock off another $200. My new property has a lot of water shed so ground always soft and have steep hill paths though my small forest. Don’t have a farm but plenty of work to do clearing invasive plants & other habitat projects. Drove up a hill with 35 degrees incline, easy.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Awesome man, congrats on the new machine! Keep us posted on your experience. 👊🏼

[@deerpathacres4426]

Went to Lowe's today and ended up buying an Axis X550 which essentially is the same machine from Hisun. I'm picking it up tomorrow since I didn't take my flat bed trailer today. I went with Lowe's instead of Tractor Supply because they gave me a 10% veterans discount which came to about $1000 less. $1000 is great. I hope it is a good machine.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thats awesome! Change the fluids early and check them pre ride when it hits your property. You do that with quality fuel (no ethanol) and should be a workhorse. Take it easy as you break in!

[@deerpathacres4426]

@@JoeTheFarmer Will do. I'm thinking about installing a see through fuel filter right before the engine. I've seen a few people on KZbin complaining about Hisun injectors clogging up.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

@deerpathacres4426 they are using cheap or bad fuel. I run non ethanol high quality fuel with an occasional seafoam treatment. Never had an issue. Also, they like higher octane. You can buy an octane booster if unavailable. Put quality in and you will get quality out.

Wow your land is awesome

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thank you!

[@erics2091]

More features for $9k than more expensive machines. Still the more I think about getting one of these, I just think, just get a used beat up pick up. Same price. I guess it’s really the size and your needs. I’ve used a Kubota for work a few years ago and enjoyed it. But damn, I can’t seem to justify this. Sure most trucks under $10k have 200k+ miles on it, but I could fit this 550 in the back of one. …but damn, these things are a hell of a lot of fun to drive. For now I’ll just watch your videos. (Just found your channel with the mini jeep video).

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks for watching Eric! A pickup is awesome but man they are so heavy and rut everything up. If the ground is wet your place will look like a dirt track after a while. I suggest a machine where the rear diff has a turf mode. So many great options out there man, you will know when the time is right. Keep in touch man! 👊🏼

[@daveburrow5831]

I bought a new sxs a few months ago. I watched multiple videos and read all types of stats and comments. After watching your videos, I went with the Massimo 850 with the steel bed. I use it for hunting and working on the farm. The metal bed it noisier, but definitely stronger. I truly enjoy all of your videos. I'm only about an hour south of you. Right off I-65 and North of the AL/TN line. I've latey been watching and rewatching your food plot videos. I'm wanting to add food to our 120 acre farm, to accent the white and red oaks and browse already there. The drought this year played havoc on our deer season. If you had time, and wouldn't mind, I would like to meet and speak with you in person for ideas. You have already been where I am now. My farm is very hilly, some very steep, and quite rocky. It has been cattle pasture for 60+ years. Keep up the great work you do and the videos are fabulous. Merry Christmas and God bless you and your family..

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks for the kid words brother. And I would like to run an 850 for a while. I think thats a heck of a machine for the money. Perfect for what you are using it for! Appreciate you watching and keep me posted on the plots!

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

You make a great video, Joe. Well done. Looks like a solid option.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks for watching my friend! It is pretty fancy, not gonna lie. The tech is insane for this price point. You ever land on one?

[@dougbas3980]

I have a T-boss 550 which is two years old and from the Texas assembly. It arrived with no oil. It has always shifted hard and the factory guy said umhumm. The oil dip stick is way below the seat and very hard to reach through control arms and structures. Otherwise I have been very happy with it. No camera/screen but the cluster behind the wheel looks the same. I am 6' 3" 230# and yes it has enough room. The other thing is mine came with mesh fabric doors & those solid doors look great. I got mine for $6,000 direct from Texas to Michigan including freight, so very satisfied with what I got for that amount. It is not a Yamaha, but it is not $16,000 either. I am happy.😎 BTW, your place is beautiful! NICE! I am 76YO and living on 10 acres in Michigan. Sold our 90 acres in Thornhill, Tn when I could no longer handle 1,600 ft of elevation change on my property. Loved the property, but it was time to go.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Awesome post Doug! Thanks for sharing that. And $6k for a side by side is an unbelievable!!! Glad it has served you well. Time will tell with this one but so far I am really impressed with it!!! Thanks for Watching!

[@jordanhartmann1745]

I've been looking at this one when I go to TSC, trying to figure out if this lower price point will work for me vs. features. Great video, thank you! I am 6'3" so I appreciate you calling out your height and that it works for you, important stuff to include for us big guys. Now just gotta figure out if it works ok in Minnesota winter 🤔

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Glad it was helpful! And yes, the bigger fellas got to stick together! It is very comfortable for my size considering it's a mid size machine. Also really well appointed for the money. If you end up buying one send me a pic! Would love to see it!!! Stay warm... 😀👊

[@user-rd1dw7cl2e]

I recently bought the bighorn 4oo efi from Tractor supply. I have seen the review that you di on that machine but I have a question that you did not cover. I only have about 26 miles on it but it seems that the clutch is slipping. Can you tell me if you have had to adjust the clutch on the machine you reviewed.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Hey! I have not had to adjust it, and that is WAY early to have the clutch slip. I would absolutely have it looked at. They are great machines and linhai builds good stuff…but things happen. Please keep me posted

[@josephvolpe9296]

Wondering how it compares to the Bighorn, especially on hill descent.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Only one way to find out! Thanks for giving the idea. I’m excited to get some more time on it and will bring the camera!

[@Synic08]

A true honest comparison of the Coleman(hisun) to the massimo would be useful i think… i never drove the tboss, but i looked at them before i bought my hisun… it did feel a LITTLE cheaper in the plastics, and the levers for the bed to tilt and the tailgate was kinda weak feeling to me..

[@JoeTheFarmer]

The Coleman/Hisun is a much larger machine as far as the frame/stance. The TBoss is a really well appointed machine and I think that with the new camo it looks amazing. But it is a mid size machine and the max in the bed is 330 lbs. if a larger machine is what you need you made the right call. But a lot of folks use them for trail rides and just getting around to check fences with their dog riding shotgun. They just don’t need the bigger machines bulk. I am a believer in the coleman. We still beat the snot out of ours all the time and it has proven itself. The Massimo has been impressive so far and we will continue to push it. Appreciate you watching!

[@user-zw6dw3kb4u]

We have this exact one! Our only complaint is the noise. Any suggestions on what to do to lower the noise level? Thanks in advance!!

[@JoeTheFarmer]

I have actually found it to be reasonable on how loud it is. Compared to other machines hasn’t been too bad. A lighter viscosity oil could help or some lucas oil treatment but that has risks.

[@thomasmccall5790]

Would you take this on a all day trail rides? Or maybe 4 to 5 hrs. rides

[@JoeTheFarmer]

I would. And to be real; I probably will. Very comfortable machine.

[@Hendawg96]

Polaris has a front and back camera

[@JoeTheFarmer]

For under 9 grand?

[@bighammer822]

Not sure if tsc has them but I’m interested in the tboss 550F that has the bigger bed.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

I think they do; you just need to order it. Also look at the MSU 850. Same bed but more hp. I like that machine; also comes with a Kubota diesel.

[@bighammer822]

Haven’t seen that one and diesel would be nice but 10k is pretty much the top of my budget and a local guy selling these has the 550F marked at $9,400.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

@bighammer822 I hear ya! And the 550 has some power man. Pretty efficient machine. $9,400 sounds like a great price too

[@krasmrtgeg]

how long do you think it will last, with proper maintenance?

[@JoeTheFarmer]

10-20 years? With proper maintenance and not abusing it maybe longer.

[@krisspitzley3382]

would this machine hold up to me plowing my food plots with a groundhog max?

[@JoeTheFarmer]

That all depends on soil. It will absolutely do it; but in really hard and rocky soil that would be hard on any machine. I have heard of the GH Max bending some atv frames.

[@joeyholthusen6495]

It uses a cfmoto engine, between that or cfmoto I'd go with cfmoto because of dealer network, ie.. parts and help with maintenance. I'd agree that the the off brand's are getting better

[@JoeTheFarmer]

This engine is Linhai; but i agree. They are getting way better.

[@ryanmossop6103]

Cool little machine. What's the price point

[@JoeTheFarmer]

$9,999 every day; some times can catch a sale.

[@flashesbuck]

The new CFMoto. I seen these at the stores. They will do what most people ask of a sxs. Parts available kinda scares me away.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

I have heard great things about the CF Moto…do you have one? Thoughts?

[@keoniwalaka8858]

So, would you go with Massimo or Big Horn?

[@meseahunt]

i went with the hisun strike over this model and did not have to take out an extra mortgage...... for me with these lesser quality machines IT IS about getting the best bang for your buck, not that i cannot afford it but why throw away $$ when the other comparable brands offer the same stuff??? they all have their own lil touch of goodies so to each their own, the biggest thing that they ALL have in common is, YOU HAVE TO COMPLETE MAINT or it WILL ruin your day!!! for me i am not all about the electronics as i just think this is one more future problem waiting to happen and it drives the price, i can read the speed with a nice big stick dial just as easy..... but again to each their own..... good review thanks 🤠

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Totally get it. Bill Winke has been running a hisun on his channel for years. Solid machines with maintenance. Thanks for watching!

[@user-ir3ln7qq5d]

Where would you find a mechanic to work on the engine? Yamaha works on Yamaha...

[@JoeTheFarmer]

There are select service centers on Massimo’s website. For most service items like oil change and grease/lube I do that myself. Its pretty simple to do. Thanks for watching!

[@MikeDPlxztc]

To a mechanic's ear when you start that machine it sounds like it's really struggling I wonder if there's a problem in the system somewhere or maybe just an undersized starter motor I think in cold weather it's going to be much worse

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Needs to break in. In this video it was brand new...I think it had a mile or two on it. I'm posting a new one with this machine this afternoon at 5 ct. If you will; take a listen and see if it sounds different. At the end I actually commented on the note of the engine. It sounds great to me. I really like the Linhai motors. Solid motors for a value machine.

[@MikeDPlxztc]

@@JoeTheFarmer hey thanks for the response awesome I will check it out I've been through a few of these types of vehicles and many golf carts I tend to be pretty hard on them but I have mostly dealt with already used equipment I have a 40-acre piece with a whole lot of work to do and will be retiring in the next year or two so I'm thinking my next vehicle is going to be the last one and I want to get it right TSC just opened a new location in my area Madison Florida

[@JoeTheFarmer]

The machine is really nice. And if you aren't hauling heavy objects or towing a bunch it would be perfect. I have a hard time believing that it's under $10k. I get that they are using price to sell it...but I have seen far more expensive machines with a lot of burs, paint spots, shoddy welds, etc. This one is VERY well put together. It may croak in a week; but I am betting with oil changes and proper maintenance it will last a long time. I'm also VERY careful with break in. Especially on a single cylinder engine. Appreciate you watching Mike! Hope that helps!!!
