I am currently looking at a CFMOTO Uforce 800.  I want it to push snow (1/2 mile long dirt driveway with hills) and some for recreation.  As I research, I continue to encounter general bias from local repair shops and ATV users concerning the fact that it is Chinese manufactured and parts are nearly impossible to obtain if something breaks.  I am certainly concerned about reliability, especially during the winter months.  However, I also know that there is simply bias because of the country of origin.  Can anyone provide their experience as far as problems with repairs and getting parts.  Thanks

I...and most owners have never had any problem getting parts. CFMoto is a global company providing product and parts to all countries around the world. If is true however that the pandemic...and recent stresses on our relationship with China has altered things a little. But not that much. With the good understanding of the machine and good maintenance practices, these are decently reliable. Never be a Yamaha, Honda or Kawasaki though.

So far so good, haven't had issues getting parts thru dealer. Now I have to admit that aftermarket accessories are harder to find, but I think that will chance some in coming year as more of these are out there. I was skeptical when I bought mine, but for me it was the right decision, sense I can work on my own and also do some fabricating, and so far it geos where I want it too, and have no problem keeping up with other brands.

I've purchased parts from the dealer, and from CFmotopartsusa.com.  Haven't had a problem getting from either.  Now, the latter does not have every part for every machine, but they've had what I was looking for, shipped quickly and reasonably priced.  Then there's alpha-sports as well.  There are not a lot of online places to get parts, but I've found what I needed.
