This 2024 Hisun Axis X550 is maybe the deal of the year for a utility side-by-side. Here's a quick rundown of the numbers: 1,500-pound tow capacity, 600-pound bed capacity, four-wheel drive, dump bed, 3,500-pound winch, 10-inch screen Apple Car Play, front and rear cameras, cast aluminum wheels, half doors, a roof panel, and a windscreen. Brand-new, these suckers retail through Lowe's at $10,499. This one has 10 miles on the odometer, a scratch on one of the wheels, and the asking price is about two grand less than Lowe's will charge you.

This machine is damned near brand new, and the mileage is well below the break-in period. That means the engine is effectively brand new. So you're getting a showroom clean utility rig with a dump bed, Apple Car Play, and a winch for less than a used Polaris Ranger. Yeah, where do we sign?

The Axis 550 gets shove from a four-stroke 540cc single backed up by a CVT, so don't expect this rig to go anywhere quickly. But it's fuel injected, so it'll always start, and it's safe and approachable enough for almost anyone to use. For the kind of work small properties generate, this might be the perfect rig. It's light, small, cheap, rugged, and comfortable. What else do you want?

The rig is being sold by our friends at Powersports Depot in Franklin, NC. Their rigs are always top notch, so bid with confidence.
