I won't get rid of my Pioneer, but I won't get a Talon, too many better options out there for a sports buggy. I think the P1-5 rules in the UTV class though.
I don’t sell anything....😉

That's odd, I aways skip a couple of mowings in the fall and leave the grass tall in the yard for the winter, mowed yesterday for the first time this year, grass clippings every where, then the rain, no grass clippings can be seen or picked up on your shoes, it rained hard.

It appears to be a battery that I replaced last week just shorted out when I put the winch load on it to pull out of a mud hole....... It will not take a charge and my machine was dead which means no shifting even if it runs......
we got it started and I got out of the hole.... but then it died again and had to tie two can ams together to get it back to camp..... worst mess I ever created.....Gonna get new battery and clean up and label wiring so that it is not such a cluster next time ......
i was figuring helicopter to get it out..... awesome bunch of folks wouldn’t quit and we got it on trailer........I owe some guys big time......

There’s smoke on the water this morning, and today, the boat that we’ve waited 6 months for is suppose to be ready for delivery. Hope it’s not too chilly out there, but either way, I’m going to get it if they get the dealer prep all done...👍

Yeah, I’ve got 5 Crape Myrtles that I still don’t know about......

It poured rain up here last night. All night, right until 9:00 this morning. No more snow around. Haha. Should be able to take off the plow now.
And I won’t sell my 500 either. It’s perfect for the trails around the camp. And it goes everywhere I want. Love it.

Probably burnt out their belts towing you out. My brother has a can am 1000 special edition something. And he used it last year to take his firewood from the front of his house to the back of his house. Didn’t get the five cords done before his belt was smoking. Not a Honda. Haha

Didn’t you just say it was going to be 70 today. That’s beach weather up here.

Nope, not even close, and there was three of us with pioneer 1000’s that didn’t want any part of it. He broke down at the worst place possible to need a tow. The trail was so rough and steep there that it took us 2-1/2 hours to move 12 machines 100 yards and luckily Pilgrim made it up that under his own power as we got it running just long enough for that. But the next several hundred yards were still a long, fairly steep set of stair step rocks, with mud in between and running water.....

Both Can Am’s are just fine however...

Meant to tell you, I have one Japanese maple at the lake house in Hot Springs and it made it through that bad weather a few weeks ago just fine, farther north than you....not sure why. But I did have two shrub bushes die.....😡
I thought mine where dead but I belive they'll pull though.

You run dual batteries, my winch runs off the secondary battery.
