I purchased a UForce 800 1 year ago partially because of seeing CFMoto on your channel. I have almost 500 miles on it now, use it everyday during the summer and occasionaly during the winter. My only complaint is the jumpy reverse and low range. I have pulled heavy trailers with zero problems. I have loaded heavy pieces of concrete in the bed with zero problems. I have gone through snow drifts without even a thought of getting stuck. I have pulled downed tree limbs. In short, I use it, try not to abuse it and have had absolutely no problems. Starts first time, every time. Goes everywhere I want to go. I have 2 friends that have Kawaski Mules. I wouldn't trade with them.

Thank you for an honest review

I wasn't aware of CF Moto until I saw it here on your channel. After doing my own research, I purchased a '23 Uforce 1000. I have a similar set up as you. The CF Moto solid doors on mine are able to split top and bottom for summer use and better airflow.

Great review Adam. We have the 600 and the uforce 1000xl. One thing on the uforce that may help you. When in low, for the work you do, keep it in “work” mode. You will find it isn’t as lurchy as what you are experiencing. The switch helps with gearing and helps us around the farm. Hope that helps.

I love your channel. Found it last night. I’ve owned my cforce 600 since July of 2021. I love it. I have changed my clutching in mine so the engagement is totally different. I recommend do this for you! I have a zforce spring and have added Pennys behind my clutch weights. This has helped me out big time.

You will always be an Accountant at heart Adam. Not a bad thing. Great review.

[PurpleCollarLife]

Great overview of your experiences with these machines. Like you, I use equipment without abusing it. I see too many people treat equipment like they've got WAY too much money.

When we were shopping for a SxS stock was limited and after trying out all the brands we liked the UForce 1000 best. I was worried about going with a Chinese brand but researching other name brands I found many that quietly use Chinese engines and drivetrains. Our dealer sold many name brands but offered an extended warranty for the CF Moto, so we purchased the UForce almost 18 months ago. We use it every day on the farm and have enjoyed it. The drive by wire throttle and jumpy clutch is the biggest difference between other brands but it can be minimized with a clutch adjustment or by changing out the spring and weights. We added a $200 kit and that helped a bunch. Overall CF Moto is priced a solid 30%-40% less than the competition and a value bomb IMO.

Adam,
As one of your original subscribers, I am glad to see you succeed so well on YouTube. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas and a prosperous and safe 2024.

I got the Uforce 1000 a month ago and youre right on every mark. The jerkiness taking off is a bit excessive. Ive plowed with it once and it was something to get used to.

I got the superatv vented glass windshield with manual wiper.

Im still considering the hard doors as this is mostly a winter machine. Im in NY so we get similar weather as you. But I love it. The $1800 end of year discount helped alot!

Love my 22cf 600. I have beat the snot out of it through rocky trails, rivers, and making my own trails. Runs well and have had zero issues.

Thanks for the comparisons and updates. Personally, I’ve always been the guy that buys the name brands and for good reason. Equipment brands that have been around for over 75 years or more, are proven. Sure, you have to pay for that quality, but I keep my stuff for a loooong time and maintain them. I will have my Yamaha 4 wheeler till I am too old to ride it. I currently drive a 17 year old Silverado that has no rust and I’ll have that for at least another 10 years. So, buy once cry once, but I’m happy the whole way!

Have my cfmoto 600 single seater 2022 still looks brand new always take care of it no issues

[s.pursell]

Thank you for an honest review. Especially pointing out the gas pedal issue. I agree that you shouldn't need to purchase a clutch kit for a new machine. I am a Polaris fan. Have had my scrambler for 24 years. But I am currently looking to get something a little more utility rather than a sport utility. Polaris has never left me sitting in the woods.

Great video and review, My 33-year-old Son just bought a used 2016 CF Moto Z Force 800 side by side, that thing is a beast we ran it down some pretty narly Arizona rocky and washboard roads and trails this past Saturday and Sunday for 3+ hours reaching speeds 65 and at one point 72 MPH with our fat buts I am 207 lbs and he is 6'2" and 285lbs, that thing did not skip a beat, all we did was do a pre-trip inspection, topped off and checked all fluids Cleaned the nasty air filter. I plan to do a full service on it and start a maintenance log keeping it all up to spec. Funny how my old Air Force military training kicked in, about servicing and logging everything. It was a blast and we plan on keeping this thing running in tip-top shape for years to come, thanks again for the review. PS: They have an aftermarket kit for the clutch spring and new counterweights for that same jerkiness you have with yours. It is from the clutch disk in the back slipping on the belt at low RPMS then grabs and knocks the snot out of you. You may want to look into it.

I've been in the market for a new machine for snow removal as I've gotten OLD (60s) and CFMoto is a brand I'm strongly considering. That being said, I still have a 1998 Polaris Sportsman that's still going strong and only had one drive belt replacement in all the years. It's been used heavily on the farm towing, working, running trails, pushing snow. But a side by side is more my need now as I've joint issues. The price all in with enclosed cab sounds good to me. Great video!

I bought a U1000 in September and pretty much use it for what you do. Only difference is my deer plot work. My ground work I do with a 55hp 4x4 tractor but spraying and spreading is done with the U1000..
You should talk to your friend at 3Seas about a clutch kit and get your handy neighbor to help with installing it. Would make a good video, especially if he makes a couple tools for it👍

[ronfohran]

You’re able to take the top section of the door off for summer riding.
My doors came with a second set of seals that seal up just the bottom section of the door.
It’s a very easy switch over.
There’s guys also removing the center hinge pins and installing roll pins and then you’re able to remove the entire door jeep style.
There great machines!

Great review - lots of detail on pros and cons

[scooter]

Great in depth review on both your machinec. CF Moto sure seems like a brand to seriously consider.

[michaelshea]

I agree, take care of the equipment. It's an investment and should be treated that way. I live in Montana and I own a 2022 CFORCE 600 Touring and a ZForce 800 Trail and I ride them everywhere. It's a way of life here. Thank you for a great video.
