Oh, come on JTW. How can we trust a guy who posted about a zillion times before he even owned a P5. ;)
Of course I have never owned anything with a automatic transmission. Never have never will.
Actually it be known
until he masters the BBQ
the "17" p5 belongs to his
wife...
haha

Thanks for all the advice. I just drove a '16 P500, it is a fun machine. I'm giving my Rancher a week or so to sell and then either way I'm buying the '16 in blue.
Sounds good

You won't need a week to sell a rancher. Sold mine in a day, and my foreman in 2. It will be gone in no time. Then you'll have some cash to burn on accessories :D

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat , after all that waiting to get your p5 ?

WHAT don't you like about it ?
I find myself riding harder than I expected.. I don't like to thrash on my stuff, particularly when it's not built to handle it. There is a lot I like about it bit being my first side by side I see some error in my original thoughts of what would be best for me.

These little tractors are not for everybody. There ugly, poor suspension, missing features, bullet proof and affordable.
I like it a lot.. and I may not trade. But if I can trade up without being raped I think it will suit my family better.

Tough decision when its more than just you and the much better half.
