Hello, new member from southeastern lower Michigan

Hello from southeastern lower Michigan.

Bought a house on 10 acres of woods last year.
Researching a SxS to drive around the property, harvest some wood and possibly plow snow.
Considered a Kubota because did not want a CVT transmission.
No Kubotas to be found in the area.
Discovered Honda Pioneer does not have a CVT so looked closer.
Hard to find anything negative about Honda Pioneers in my research.

Contacted all the local dealers within two hour drive and none had any Hondas in stock.
As it so happened, one dealer that was very close did have a sold 700/4 Deluxe in the showroom I could at least look at.
I was interested in a 700 two seater Deluxe.
Arrived at the dealer and salesman was showing me the sold 700 and I saw a 520 a few units away.
Thought that this is the size SxS I need. The 700 seemed to be bigger than I wanted.
It was available so I put a refundable deposit on it and went home and did some more research over the weekend.
Convinced myself this was the SxS for my needs.
Went back after the weekend and bought it.
It will hopefully be delivered sometime next week

Looking forward to blazing some trails on the property.

Oh, it is red.

Welcome to the forum and congrats. Don't know about "blazing" trails, it is a P5, but it will get you into places that only a quad would fit otherwise. Be sure to post up some pics for us when you take delivery.

Welcome from da U.P, I spend a lot of time in D Metro,which to me is anything South of Bay City and East of Lansing, visiting customers. Lots of info on the site for the P5, I've got a '16 and no matter what I've tried I can't kill it. 🤣
