Edited to add;
Purchased new in 2021.
it’s at the dealers again now for 3 wks for the exhaust failure #2. Pipe from engine has a spring attached joint in front of muffler. This joint fails because muffler has only one hanger in the center causing muffler to flop around. New models have two hangers.
The dealer has this utv more then I do.
+ = Nice ride and tight turning radius and the winch works.
-= Under powered, Too slow. No high/low range. Plus all the above.
Would not recommend to anyone !!!

I traded a cfmoto utv for my L7. The cfmoto’s passenger seats and between seat engine cover got so hot you couldn’t stand it after 5 minutes of summer time use. Also the solid rear axle tore up my yard while using it for yard work.
The dealer who sells the landmasters is 5 min from my home. They service my tractors and other power equipment i have. Because of this and the fact they are USA made i thought it a no brainer to switch to the L7.
This dealer has several of these in stock now, even muti seat units. I’m not seeing this amount of inventory at any other competitors stores. I now know why.
It’s a shame that a USA manufacturer allowed this poor quality control and then didn’t have the the managerial expertise to keep their customers happy.

I listed in my review that i like it’s tight turning radius. To utilize this feature requires multiple revs of the steering wheel, which at speed gets tiring. I installed a suicide knob which helps a lot.

I promised landmaster thru my email exchanges with them that i would let everyone i could know of the in depth education i’ve received from this product experience. That’s why i signed up to this forum. It seemed like a great way to get the word out localy.
I hope landmaster can restore their reputation in the future. I’ll let yall know if they ever make it up to me.

Well its a good day because we sold our Landmaster L7 sxs. Its been working better than ever since its last trip back to the shop for a loose drive belt cover. Actually been a couple months of defect free operation so it seemed like a good time to sell it.
I have a honda pioneer 1000 on hold at the dealer awaiting a roof and windshield to come in. Honda dealer would not accept the landmaster as a trade in so we were forced to sell it ourself. Landmaster dealer refused to buy it back, claiming they have too much inventory.
I’ve owned 4 other honda atv’s and motor cycles in the past and all were bullet proof. What was i thinking for changing 🫣

Honda Pioneer 1000 forest edition is working flawlessly. Its a dream to operate. The 6 sp auto trany with high and low range plus a switch to shift manually is awesome. While trail riding on roads in Potter Co. I switch to manual and use the steering wheel paddle shifters and run most everything in 4th thru 6th gear.

So far the only negatives with the Pioneer 1000; a lot of engine heat comes thru the seat. I purchased a heat shield kit for it but have not installed it yet.
Front tire tread seems to be wearing prematurely. I made need to reduce front tire pressure since wear is the center treads.

I installed the heat shield. Under the seat and seat back. Most of it i discarded because it didn’t fit under plastic panels. This helped some but was far from a cure.
I removed the panels covering the engine. I removed the metal exhaust heat shields above the header pipes. I installed header wrap on the exposed 1st ten inches of headers then replaced the metal heat shields .
Now the seat only gets warm 👍🏻.
