I do not know anything about the Kazuma brand...however, I am familiar with the engine that powers it. It is a suzuki F8B 800cc three cylinder automobile engine that has been in millions Of "mini's" in Europe and Asia. Look up suzuki capachino, mighty boy 4x4, city baby, etc.
The engine is solid, I have a dune buggy with this motor, and it is discussed in great detail at buggynews.com. There are members who have turboed the motor, shaved the head, port and polished, there are weber carb kits and headers for it, One guy has even run a nitro boost system successfully.
We have a four speed manual transmission, so I do not know how their CVT will hold up.
We have had issues with the CV joints, but there are fixes for that as well...do not know what this unit ships with.
I would think that you will find the same kind of problems with this as on many of the "chinese" machines. Locktite everything and make sure all of the electrical connections are good, and it will probably be decent for the price...If you do not mind tinkering...
If you want a unit that will be more problem free, pony up for the more expensive Jap UTV's

I had a thread about Chinese UTVs on here and all one douche had to say was "LOL".. real informative fellow. *rolls eyes*
I don't know much about these, not many people do yet.. I would be interested to know more about them aswell. Pretty sure you will get the standard fare response of: If you can turn a wrench and its worth it to do that to save a buck, go with a Chinese brand.. otherwise get a Japanese built one.

I was interested in the Mammoth 800, the new utility truck for Kazuma. They look like great machines. The price is great too. Anyone have any advice about these new units? Anyone who has purchased one please let me know how you like it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Seize the Day!!

I bought one the Kazuma Mammoth 800's about 2 months ago. I have put it to the test on the farm, in the woods, and on the sand bars of the river banks. It is a solid built machine. Have had no problems with it, has plenty of power and hauling capacity. There are some things I would like to change about it, but I can also say the same thing about my Ford F-250 Super Duty!!! I just couldnt see spending the money for a Ranger or Rhino, with the Mammoth on the market and for half the price. Also, if you are concerned about finding add ons, such as cab covers etc. I do know that the cab covers for the Rangers will fit the Mammoth. I just recently purchased a soft top with rear window that is made for a Ranger and it fits perfectly. If anybody has any questions, please feel free to ask.
