I'm not going to say wether or not your damage was self inflicted or not. I would guess he mud where you are is probably a lot more clay based than where joey is. I have said multiple time to different people that I think some of these rigs are stronger than others. I've backed up the side of "mountains" granted these are the ozarks so some would say they are hills, but either way, this was before I heard about all the issues. Being I had the very first 1000 my dealer got, I've had it for awhile. We got it right before hunting season so it got used going slow through tight trails and hauling people and animals up and down hills. Now that I know more about the limits of the machine I'm more careful, but I've still crept up rock ledges and other things with no issues whatsoever. I'd say their tolerances on something internal in the trans have some big variances. Some machines just go through clutches and some don't.

I agree, and that's what I've been saying and people keep shutting me down. Some of these rigs ARE doing better than others.
Had I known the machine couldn't handle bigger tires, and crawling over things, Couldn't handle anything to do with muskeg ( Muskeg is really just water, and under the water is regular mud and crap loads of dead grass. We do have peanut butter mud that's basically pure clay, but I wasn't in it ) I mean there's so many rules that these other utvs don't have. I really wish this just had a cvt. Personal opinion, and certainly not the popular one.
Anyways, this post isn't to talk crap. I'm just saying I think it's a fantastic machine for someone who wants to motor around hard pack, maybe crawl around on some rocks, camp with the family, tow stuff around the farm and occasionally go through some minor mud( you states guys have different stuff, take what I say with salt). Does awesome in snow. But the things it can't do are simply the things I do. It just can't handle the places I go. It's not that the places we go are super hard and bad, it's just not designed to handle the things we are doing. It's the design of the transmission. The gearing. The way the clutches work. I just don't think it's the tool for my job
I think I'm gonna leave it at Honda and have them sell it. I have boot camp and tech school in a few months anyways. When I get back in 2018 new stuff will be out. Maybe something cool will happen. Maybe Honda will release a sport utv. Or fix the current problems people are having with the pioneers.
And idk if this matters, I was in sport mode while stuck.
I'll report in whatever the mechanic tells me, though I think all he will say is I burnt them to crap like he did last time.
