My Defender HD 8 is 3 yrs old. It is used exclusively on my horse property to carry hay and manure. I never walk out in the morning without wondering if it will start. When it does, I don't shut it off. My experience so far is I would never take this out to the desert. My dealer keeps saying it is the can am fuel pump. He says they are junk. Keep replacing. I would never recommend it. If anyone a tip or two, I'd appreciate a come back.
