I was looking back at some of the posts over the past week, and saw you were having trouble with yours, and it was in the shop.
I have been using the heck out of mine the past few weeks, so I feel your pain about not having it.
Good luck.

Heck No!!!
Have had to borrow one from a buddy.
It seems that the guy I took it to is using it as a training tool.
Took a good running atv in with a small rear axle leak, now I have a non running atv (in many parts) with no rear axle leak.
He admits to "checking" a few other things, but swears he did not do anything wrong.
That might be up to small claims court to decide if he does not make me whole real dang soon.
🙁
Heck No!!!
My ATV went into the shop a few days before your first post with a similar small axle grease leak. First thing the ATV guy said was that grease is not supposed to come out there.
That alone told me it was not a simple fix. The seal is inside the gearbox.
I've been putting off a few projects that require off road travel farther than the F150 can go. Must start them Monday after Thanksgiving whether fixed or not.
If the guy did not do such great work with a guarantee, I would be complaining.
Heck No!!!
Sorry to hear that. An ATV is almost as crucial to a solo surveyor as a robot and RTK.
Heck No!!!
Sure hope you guys get 'em fixed. I've gotten so spoiled by mine that I don't know what I'd do without it.
Heck No!!!
Say brother, I feel your pain.
I feel like I have a personal relationship with my 13 year old ATV.
I loaned it to a fellow surveyor & buddy & it got broken.
It was in pieces for probably 2 months.
I was able to borrow one for the time.
I was glad to get her back.
Hopefully you can beg, steal, or borrow until you get yours back.
It sure would be nice to avoid court.
