Looking at Pioneer 1000

[Big Muddy rancher]

Hi Folks, I'm a rancher in southern Saskatchewan. Been a Honda man for ever but finally looking t a side x side.
I am 6'3" and most of it's in my leg. Does a Pioneer have enough leg room to be comfortable? I have had a knee replaced and it's doing pretty good but I do like to stretch out once in a while.
That is about my only concern with a Pioneer as I know the built in reliability of the Honda's
Thanks.

How long are your legs ? 6.3 only tells us how tall you are.

Our resident tall guy @100Acre has both a P5 and P1k-5. He also just recently had both knees replaced. He'd give you the best real world advice I imagine. I don't think you'd have much trouble with the 1k though.

I'm 6'2". I don't have an issue with the ergonomics. It's not as comfortable as a talon but it's WAY easier to slide in and out of to do yard maintenance. It has a bit of stretch room. I don't bump my knees at all.

I wear 36 inch inseams on my jeans and they don't touch the floor. I'm longer in the legs then the body. The floor to my knee in sock feet is 24 inches.

6"5" 35 inseam. Had the pioneer 1000 3 for about 9 months now . Have made 4 trips to Hatfield McCoy trails for a week at a time. Each time we ride from dusk to dawn and get a little aggressive sometimes and I have only one issue is that my knee will rub the door sometime but install a knee pad with velcro problem solved. Great machine.

Thank you for the reply. With Covid lock downs and limited SxS out there it has been hard to shop around. I'm about 200 miles to a Honda dealer so not easy to go look.

I’m 6’2, same type of build and have no issues. Mine is comfortable but there’s not miles of leg room for stretching, I’d find one to sit in and test drive first.

I'm only 6'0 tall but we do use ours for farm,yard,trailer pulling work and love it, especially the turf mode when turning with a load. Welcome from Mississippi.

I'm 6'1" ish with no issues in a 1000-5. I really like mine and use it for everything from moving trailers, to driving around the neighborhood, turf mode is a great feature.

It would be tight

A 1000 will have more room than the 500 & 700’s. I cannot say for the 4 seater Talon but I do not fit well in the 2 seat talon. I’m 6’9” +- because of my bilateral knee replacement. Hope it helps and good luck.
Side note, a gnome or many will fit in all aforementioned machines...

Welcome from Northern Illinois! My problem with the Pioneer isn't with riding legroom it's the times when you're stopped and b.s.ing. My 700 feels cramped. The 1000 is better but when I sat in one still wasn't impressed. I'm 6-0 and have chronic pain though...so I'm rarely comfortable anywhere.

 

[Big Muddy rancher]

Thank you all for the replies, I missed the only one available in southern Saskatchewan.
Is the 3 seater the same in the front as the 5 seater?
I know a fellow not far away that just won a Pioneer 1000 5 seater so will try and check his out so I will know what I want when one does become available.

 

[P1K5Dave]

Yeah, the 3 seater is exactly the same as far as front seating. Only difference is the pop-up seats in the bed.

I'm 6'1" 215 and I ride comfortable. My buddy that rides with me all the time is 6'4" 350 and he's never had any issues. He was totally cramped in riding in my nephews RZR though.

 

[P1K5Dave]

Oh, and he drives it a lot too. Fits him pretty well for his size
