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

[Russ989]

View attachment 166150 Took it out for its first ride since new shoes traction is amazing still need to get the right psi in them it’s a little bouncy at 8psi and get the 1.5” super atv spacers installed. Highly recommend the sunf tires though.

They look good.

Thanks Russ it’s coming along pretty well now. Dropped the psi down to 5 today and it’s like having a tiller for tires lol plus made the ride 10x better

I ran 6psi all of the time on my 700, I think I ran 8psi on my 500.

I tried 8 and it was like a brick lol 6 was almost right but 5 hit the sweet spot may do a little more playing but for now I’m content

I’m glad you figured it out, trial and error seem to be the method most use. Lol

Well it could be worse when I got them mounted at Walmart of all places the guy told me he put 15-20 in them and wouldn’t air them down bc he said it would bust the bead I’m a former mechanic and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that one out well for them on the 500 went to air them down two rears had 45 and the two fronts had 38 psi in them the guy is lucky he didn’t blow hisself apart lol

Finally got a few things installed. I got the locker in, stick stoppers and rock sliders on.
The locker is great. I'll have to see how tuff it is to steer in 4wd. It seems manageable now but I haven't properly tested it out.

Looking forward to a good ride over Thanksgiving. Have a feeling I'll be shopping for a power steering kit next.
The list is never ending

I have a beaver on my property. I helped him get a tree down and got a little trophy for me. I think this is ironwood. His choppers won’t last long gnawin through this tough stuff.

Nice buck, good hunt.

You should consider a trailer. I've been using an OXCART and really like it. OxCart - Do More. Lift Less

Thanks for info. The back of property is too tight of access for trailer, and the trailer has become my water wagon for the P500 to pull from the creek. Appreciate the P500s size to maneuver right up to the working area, good things do come in small packages.

My P500 chewed some wood today also. Too fast keeping up with the Rancher, too many trees. Don’t air down too low.

We went riding today and went across a 50” wide cattle guard and slide sideways and the front tire fell against the side of the guard. The tire was wedged so tight that it would not move, we got out and found a 3 ft. 2X6 board and pride it up under the axle and was able to push it out by hand. No damage was done.

Hunting in North Carolina. This Florida boy is freezing his back side off. Ain't it great. First buck for the year. Not large but it's meat for the freezer. The hoist worked great. The factory hitch is to low for the down support to work. I think I see a Moose hitch in the near future. I could modify the hoist but what fun would that be. Yep. A new hitch for Prudence.

Nice winch hoist, never saw one as a non-hunter. Agree on the Moose 2 in, pleased with mine.

They also work great for lifting heavy loads into the truck. I also use it to load my generator in my truck. The up pipe pivots.
