P1000m5 What did you add to/do with your Pioneer 1000 5 today?

[ToddACimer]

Started looking at my rear winch mounting location. I couldn't visualize a bolt in solution today but I can visualize a more permanent welded on mount above the hitch.

I think you and @ CummingsPusher are the first.
I also thought somebody had built a mount plate that plugged into the receiver, for portability.
Great ideas!!

I hate the slop of receiver mounts and there's no way I could give up that departure angle. I had a tiger tail strap and it would drag on everything.

Good point.

Take it out and put it in the bed until needed? They make battery cable connectors that I'm sure would work for the power.

Don't see one, but using a battery hold down is a good fire safety idea I think. One easy way to do so is to use a cinch strap (nylon strap with cam type lock). I cut mine to length and attached to compartment side walls with hot melt glue. That was after testing strap adhesion on scrap piece of plastic to make sure shear strength would be adequate.

I cut the strap off of a Coors Light cooler bag and sheet metal screwed it to the plastic.

Looks good.

I was originally going to use these: Bimini pad eye using rivet nuts and screws, as I was concerned wood or sheet metal screws directly in the plastic might pull out - but then I got lazy and reverted to the glue - sigh.

I would have never winch backwards from here but this was one of the few time I got stuck this year. I'd say most times, I'd never get the winch in the receiver if it wasn't there before I got stuck.

In this particular spot we winched forward 2 full cable lengths and tied off at least 5 or 6 times with a snatch block. The ruts were deep

I cut two small slits slightly larger than the strap itself in the bottom of the AUX battery box. I fed a 2' long piece of double side 1" Velcro through one, around the underside of the box and back into the box. I dropped the battery in and then cinched the Velcro strap tight around the battery. This way, I don't have to worry about glue adhesion or rivets/screws pulling out.

Put some vinyl lettering front and back and added auto backup lights….View attachment 309529View attachment 309530

It’s in the works. Didn’t get to that point yet. Thank you for looking out though! It needs done.

Didn't do much, just went up on the mountainside to fix the solar panel on the gazoobee in my back yard. Beats climbing up there.

Great. Tip, install everything loosely, adjust with rubber mallet.

 

[Red21]

Great tip. I watched a couple of You Tube videos and they said the same thing.

Finally having a snow-day here to try out my plow setup. Not much snow but since I've never plowed before it was just enough to figure things out. Now it's time to play with the other toys!! I smell 2-stroke!

Saw your set up and thought I'd pass on a prior link. One of the reasons I use a dolly is to drop the blade onto wood and not have the skid pucks chip the cement garage floor. Just an idea.

I'm thinking about going with one of these on the Pioneer

Thanks for the thought but if you could see the damage a carbide tipped snowmobile stud does to concrete you'd see there's not much hope left for my garage floor. It keeps the weather off the toys and the mud off my feet so all is well. If I ever have a new garage a lot more care will be taken.

Added a simple suicide knob to my P1k5 today.

10 bucks at local farm ranch store.
Now I can steer and run my winch easier with my left hand, while shifting / turning blade with my right.

bolts in the pkg are just long enough to engage the nuts when fully tightened down.
