    Looking into buying a utv. Don’t want to break the bank so looking at the cfmoto 600. If anyone has any thoughts or input on UTVs would be greatly appreciated.

    I considered one of those about 4 years ago. At that time, they had front and rear windshields and also a roof that was outfitted with the UTV to be sold that way. As I remember, it was still less expensive than a polaris that didn't have any windshields or roof.....

    Do they also include a winch? Can't remember.....

    Ended up with a polaris ranger. Very nice but did not like the firewood hauling capabilities of it. (go figure)

    Just remember that you get what you pay for. They are a decent machine for a while. Are they a 3,000 mile machine or a 30,000 mile machine. Lots of them sold and out there but it’s made in China and the quality control isn’t the greatest (I will say for China it’s better than a lot). Also what is your plan for it? Really no trails in CT so is it just for your own property? If you are going to haul north to ride it dealer support is something you should look into. Sucks being broke down and can’t get parts.

    It’s has winch and roof no windshield. That’s no big deal could put one on for minimal fee. Yes just using for my property. Have a couple acres. Up and down to the lake. Plow snow nothing crazy. Not bringing it anywhere to trail ride. That I know of just yet.

    That's what I've seen on all these chineez ATVs...quality control is spotty at best, and getting parts/service is about the same...

    Thinking about this a bit more, I'd buy a used name brand ATV/UTV/SXS before I'd buy a new chineez one.
    I actually have a lil chineez 4 wheeler for my son...bought it super cheap because it needed work, and I have a background in working on bikes/ATV's so I thought no big deal...but this lil thing has been a total PITA!
    Already looking for its replacement...which will NOT be a chineez made one!

    My kid has a Tao Tao. It’s a rattly piece of junk. it works for the money I spent. All of the Kid size machines are either hammered or next to brand new price around here.
