New guy from Ohio

[Buckeye33]

Hey all, just wanted to say hi from Ohio. Been lurking around here trying to gather information on a new toy. An opportunity to finally acquire a new toy has somewhat unexpectedly arrived and I’m hoping to make the best decision I can. I’m looking at a 500/520 or a 700 Pioneer. I figured my 2002 Rancher was getting lonely. I have 3.5 acres and access to another 3.5 acres to take my 7 year old co pilot on some putts and perhaps use for some hunting. So far I’m really impressed with the amount of information and the really friendly people here. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Welcome from Mississippi. Dont count out the P1000 in your decision.

hey - welcome..........

just a friendly reminder, pics get you in with the Kool kids - potential machines, existing machines, - just saying

While I would certainly like a P1000, a short drive with my friends Viking showed me the size limits in my woods. Hence the focus on the 500 and maybe the 700. All the trails here and my neighbor were originally for 4-wheelers and then slightly enlarged to fit my little Kubota tractor which is about 59 inches with the deck on. I’ve already lost too many trees to the ash borer so I don’t want to cut any more trees than absolutely necessary.

Howdy from Oklahoma Buckeye and welcome to the club. I also bought a P5 because of the narrow trails that I ride on. You can't go wrong with any of your (Honda) choices. 👍

I can understand that.

Welcome to the club from BC. Good luck with your purchase. Buy a red one because they’re faster!

Look at the size specs between the 700 and the 1000 and I bet you’ll be surprised. They’re not much different. The 500 of course is much smaller.

I'm a noob and also from Ohio - just bought a 700. Enjoy!

Welcome from Ohio. One thing about the 500, you can get around the woods better. Plus, if you decide to do some trail riding in Ohio, most of the trails have a 50" limit, so the 500 is the only one that will fit. Food for thought.

Welcome from the mountains of WNC
The 500/520 is a very capable machine, you will find lots of uses for it on your property.
Good luck and remember when you get one…

Welcome from The Great Lakes State. Not to be confused with being a great state though, unless you are a commie then you will love it here.
