P500 New 520 Finally Landed

[jroot327]

The 520 I ordered in December finally got here yesterday. Picked it up with new 26” Mudlite 2s, Honda hard roof, and the front bumper. Added a Warn Axon, crossroads 3d glovebox, and EMP under hood storage when I got it home. Going to put it to work this weekend at my hunting property.

RED was 1 st. All other colors followed hopping to catch some of the Glory ! --- & Honda hopes they sell.

Yeah I've had a bunch of this stuff sitting in the house waiting to go on it when she showed up. Took it for a spin around the neighborhood. Going to a fun little machine!

This is what I'd use mine for! How strong is that bed where the straps attach?

Great looking rig you have there. I have some of the same questions. Do I understand that the dump box has no metal side panels or metal box floor frame? If that is so it's just a matter of knowing the limitations of your equipment. I am waiting for my P520.

So did those bungee cords keep the firewood from falling off on the way back? 😜

The bed sides did flex a bit with this much or more wood in there, and where the bungees are attached wouldn't be strong enough to use ratchets. You'd probably want use the metal hooks on the base of the bed for that.

The bed sides and floor are all plastic. So just make sure you arent throwing the wood in there. There are metal attachment hooks on the bottom/base of the bed if you really needed to secure something down.

Haha. This load survived the whole way back, but I just putzed back to the cabin. There were 3 more pieces I was trying to get on this load, but they wouldn't balance with just the bungees holding them. Machine handling seemed fine though. Super impressed with it so far!

Regarding the plastic bed... I'm looking for a rubber mat to put in it. I've seem some thin ones but I'm afraid if they are not thick/heavy enough they will blow out while I'm transporting it. I will probably be going to the Tractor Supply Store (farm supplies, etc.) this week and will look around to see what they have. I would hate to buy a piece sized for a pickup bed, then have to waste 3/4 of it after its cut. Anyone have other suggestions?

Think a 3/8 horse stall mat will be fine, with a cooler and chain saw sitting on it?

Tractor Supply has horse stall mats that are very heavy. I use several of them around the house, lasted for years.
