P500 What did you do to/with your Pioneer 500 today?

[Caper]

The diminutive P500 did very well towing that trailer around all day - even pulled a few heavy loads.

Moooo.

Cool. But the bantam P5 has a towing limit....

Like 1000 lbs. 400 lbs on back.
The little train that could....

By balancing the load over the axle, P500 performing well to water the home riding track. Two laps per tank does it. Did add the Hefty 2 in. Receiver hitch for peace of mind.

The hefty receiver hitch is a great idea. I’ve seen several damage P5 receivers. Is that set up to keep dust down on the track, or something else?

I like the tank and cage. 275-300 gallons?

Where did you purchase it at? Did it come with the valve on it?

Nice job. Looks like it works .
Looks like the dust up here. Like baby powder dust.
How many horses do have. Are they race horses. My dad owned standards.
Smart as some people.

Powder dust fixed with water tank. Tanks come with valve, surplus at $40-75 depending on what came in it (food grade or not). Arabian horse in past, now just sxs and atvs for the back yard track. My yard got posted on news from the dead body found in the creek Saturday.

It’s too bad it got posted for that.
Do they figure from the flooding.
Beautiful. But I don’t see the pool.

Looking sketchy from circumstances, could be OD. Just finished up various hose connections for tank/pump, fire hose and nozzle just arrived so can use the P500 for watering landscape and pond. Like a mini fire tanker setup now.

Has anybody heard of a Rival aluminum skid plate for a 500. Are they any good.
A SXS one will be over $1300 by the time it gets here.
Can’t find much info.
Thanks

UTV Canada has it but there are no reviews. It looks good.
Trail Armor has a UMHW for everything but a Pioneer 500. Of course.
I wonder if anybody has one and what they think.
Thanks Tom

Retiring in 22 days. Can't wait! Now more time for getting out on the P5. Maybe get a bigger brother for P5 (Talon).

We went for a ride in the bush and then to the lake. In 3 hours we didn't see another human, just a moose, beaver, porcupine and a hawk.
I am overjoyed with my 8-ply TRAXION BH Clones, I needed 4wd twice. I am also looking forward to power steering that I just ordered today.

Good looking ride Tom, starting to feel like a different machine yet?

Today I swapped my Polaris Ace's 25s with my P500's 24s...for grins and giggles..but there is a noticeable difference in ride quality by going to a bigger tire.
