Just saw em from a distance today. Price is under 5gs I believe. Made me think. Bulldogs I think is the name. Any reviews?

They're made by American Sportworks. Basic machine, Tractor Supply sells a version, as does Sherman Powersports. Would like to read some reviews also. $6.9K for the 4x4 700. Impressive 5yr warranty on the Subaru engine. Searched for youtubes without success. http://bulldog-utv.com/bd700.php

I've looked closely at them at TSC. They seem smaller than say a Polaris and they are just basic set ups. If you wanted one in 4wd and a top and so on it will cost more. If you are a part time user I would imagine it would do the job though. They seem well enough put together for deer lease use. Heavier farm work I would say no.

Gonna take a look at one in Dripping Springs tomorrow. Should work fine for my 15+ acres of heaven. My golf cart won't pull my 5'X8' trailer with a 275 gallon tote on it. Hopefully this will.

The Bulldog looks like a Mule knockoff and Cabelas's sells what looks like a Rhino knockoff. As you can see from my sig I have the Rhino and love it. It's a 450cc and has all the power I need.

A friend of mine bought one of the TSC models and it has been nothing but trouble since the day he got it.

I looked fairly closely at them one day when I was bored. They are very bare boned and don't look like they are over built by any means. I suppose you pay for quality.

My concern would be parts availability. And if you had to have something repaired that would require a mechanic, where would you take it? You can get a nice used Mule for 5-6 grand.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

If you want warranty work done it will have to be taken to a full service dealer for the brand utv and not TSC. Only a couple I know of.. Steel Horse is one of them over around Lufkin. Four brothers equipment up north also

My friend bought the TSC version. Luckly they gave him his money back.....nothing but trouble. They are all made by the same company and imported under multiple brands. All Chinese junk...stick with name brands.

I guess I'm a lucky one. I've got a 2wd version with the subaru motor. It's an incredibly simple setup. Golf cart style centrifugal clutch. Heavy duty coil over suspension. Only has 9HP but with me alone it will run close to 20. I didn't pay anything near $5k, but it has been reliable. It's a Northern tool horizontal shaft motor a clutch and differential...
The factory is in the USA so not sure on the chinease import comments.
