P1000 Traded my P-1000 today

[Null]

Hate to say it but I just traded my P1000 in on a Can Am Defender XD10, May be the biggest mistake of my life but after going on a long muddy and hilly ride the other day, I really just don't like the way the transmission shifts when in auto mode. I know you can put it in manual but I bought a automatic and like to just gas it and go and not listen to the clunking and continuous shifting back and forth. Probably gonna make some enemies but I have really enjoyed this forum for what its worth. Im just a CVT kind of guy I guess. Only have ever had to replace one belt In my life and that's due to skidding big logs after a hurricane. 100 bucks later and about an hour and it was good as new. May stay on here and let yall know if the Can Am holds up to my expectations. Good luck with yall pioneers hope you get years of good out of them.

How much did they give you for the Pioneer on trade and what accessories did you have on it?

Different strokes for different folks - no harm no foul. Get what you like.

how do you like that defender?

 

[hondabob]

I think you will like it. It has a 3 year warranty. The first service is at 1,800 miles or 200 hours which is an all new standard for UTV's. Nearly everything is under the bed now so maintenance should be easy. They must have a high end oil and magnets on the drain plugs. You may want to route the air intake up under the roof from under the bed. Also the belt drive intake is on the side, I would route that up under the bed for clean air going into the belt drive. Other then the unfortunate air intake locations it should work great with good power. Good luck and let us know how you like it.

It's your money, get what works best for you. Good luck with the Defender.

Not enough lol 13500, I had a cheap winch and a half windshield and roof. luckily it was paid for so it didn't hurt too bad.

Thanks for the positive remarks lol. I do still own a Honda Rincon, Power washer, and lawn mower hahahaah. I love Honda products, just like Waylan said Different strokes for different folks.

I must say Can Am hit the ground running with that model. A friend of mine is looking at it to replace his Rhino and it has Polaris in it's cross hairs as far as cab features, storage, layout design. Yes please keep in touch on how it works out for you.

Happy Sunday!

I almost bought a red Defender on 29.5 OL2S one day. I was selling my Commander and walked in to the dealer and there she was lol. My buddy just bought one and had some custom stuff done on his. He loves it! He also just got sponsored by Quadboss. They gave him a set of tires to try out. He normally runs OL2s. He liked the way these performed and said they are very smooth

What turned me down on the Defenders was the front end of them. It looks like they took a Ranger and smashed it into a wall lol. But the inside is very well designed and honestly my next sxs may be a Defender. The reason I went Pioneer was because it wasn't belt driven. Best of luck to you man and post some pictures of your new beast

Sad to see the pioneer lose a customer I haven't seen to many but everyone has their own preferences. Hopefully you have good luck with the Defender.

Good luck with your new Defender . Life's to short to have something your not happy with.

 

[hondarock]

I think you will like the Defender. They are really nice rigs and ride great and are smooth and powerful and there is no jerking and solenoid clicking at every shift. The CVT will probably be more trouble free than the DCT also.

And it is almost like Honda copied the Defender in the looks department.

Who cares what you drive it's all about getting out there and off-roading and enjoying the outdoors and life !!

The Pioneer 1000 has hurt Polaris Ranger 900 sales and this defender will beat the Ranger 900 in every way. The 3 year warranty will hurt Polaris and Yamaha sales both with a 6 months warranty. If your doing huge tires in gumbo mud the defender should be great and you only have to be moving 1 mph for full belt hookup. They should have a way better belt drive then the Ranger 900. My 2013 Ranger 900 was probably the best then but it had too many design and assembly problems. I fixed everything and sold it in less then a year.
