The 2012 Rancher 600 AKA Swat 600. Had a 500cc engine and was made mostly for a work UTV. Google 2012 CFMoto Rancher 600 and you will get more info. Here is one promo video I found:

perfect that is exactly what I was looking for?

anyone on here owned one?

I just purchased a 2013 CF Moto Swat 600 used. Not sure if there were only made for a few years or if it was a low production model.

I have seen the referred to as Rancher 600 as well. Like it so far. MP3 player is not working and I have no idea how to set the time on the clock.

4950kms when purchased. 5050kms on it now. Ride is very firm, won't be taking any jumps or anything like that. Similar to a Polaris Ranger mid-sized although the ride is not as good. It does have more features though (turn signals, horn, mirrors, etc.

Previous own replaced wheel bearings, tires, and brakes. Not sure if that will give some idea on how long these items will last (all replaced before the 4700km mark).
