Just saying.. I would certainly get a power steering model. Having originally bought a 17 p500 and then trading it in within a month after doing a ton of upgrades. I went with the 1000-5.. I honestly haven't had a chance to really put it thru the paces as I've been on vacation this past week. But from my initial impression and having already been there. Spend the $$$ and get what you want. Power steering is a must on these things and the power is nice!

Sir:

May I inquire why you traded in your 500 so quickly in order to purchase a 1000? I presume you needed more room and power, but if there is any particular insight you can offer as to why you made that change I would like to hear it.

TIA

Basically I put too high an importance on the 50" wide machine.. I was trying to get a machine to be both 4-wheeler and sxs.. I constantly found myself wanting more machine and was at a point of putting more money into it to get it where I wanted it or just upgrade to something more suited to my needs. The family liked it and wanted to ride, so it was just an easy move. I found it too big for tight atv work and too small for being a sxs.. the missing of a front diff lock and my riding harder than I expected also played a part in it.

Thank you. That information confirms to me that I am heading in the right direction with my contemplated purchase.

You leaning towards the 500 I take it?

I would go 500 or 1000, both have great qualities. One of my best friends got a 700, seems to straddle the fence. Don't mean to offend anyone here just my 2 cents.

I agree smitty!

I agree smitty!

The 700 have the stability of a 1000, but seem low on power due to the additional weight, but if you don't climb really steep hills and don't have the need for speed, the 700 could be your machine.

Well, initially I was, but now I am pretty sure we're gonna get the 700 Deluxe. Just can't justify the cost of the 1000.

Ohhhh, it's well worth it! 15,500 for a 1000-5 deluxe, with a top. What's the price difference for the 700?

Yea , I know

I don't know if it the altitude that I ride in or what, but my 700 has not had a problem climbing anything that my pucker factory will allow. I mostly ride at Stoney Lonesome ORV Park in north Alabama, and as you can see on You Tube there are plenty on steep rutted out hills there. I have even stopped on a few to see what would happen. It just pulled right on up the hill.
Sure more power (and or more gears) would be great for wide open trails, but 44 mph is pretty fast where I ride mostly.

I haven't had the opportunity to use mine much yet, but I can tell you that it drug my teardrop trailer around like it was a rag doll!

I had a pioneer 700-4 for over a year and put over 1100 miles on it. But for yard work with out turf mod it would tear up the yard so I traded it on a pioneer 1000-5 and now I can do yard work with out tearing up the yard and I can haul , pull more go faster when I need to.

After riding yesterday, I love my 700. I test drove the 700 and 1000. While the 1000 would have been nice, The 700 works for me. couldnt cash out the extra for a 1000
