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

Read that NERF bars help displace water and helps the flotation factor.

I guess that is the answer to the question that was posted a few years ago about how to make a P5 float.

I'm coming back to the forum, sold my Argo Centaur and will pay more attention to my P500.

Ordered Camso 4S1 tracks , now they have sweet prices from the atvtracks.net plus 250$ promo from camso, total comes to 4550 shipped. Will post once install them .

Got to play in the snow real pleased how it went. Now it's time for more snow!

Ran the machine up to the bank tonight to pull some cash before they closed. All the drive thru lanes had cars waiting but the atm lane was clear so I wheeled in there. Unbeknownst to me a robbery just happened inside and when the crooks came squealing around the bank in their mini cooper getaway car they chose my lane, probably thought they could squeeze through. Apparently they got wedged between the median and the nerf bars and got stuck. Couple minutes later the cops showed up and hauled them away.
Checked for damage when I got home, just some scratches and stuff but I did find a 1/2" hole in one of them. Guessing they shot at me, nerf bar must've blocked it. 😏

Those nerf bars have proven to be priceless! I wish they would make some for a 700.

These nerf bars are getting to be legendary. Just can't believe the bullet didn't bounce right off though😆

First ride for the wife's new 520. Sure was a good time to break it in.

Added a OEM Honda rearview mirror. Have side mirrors, but they take a beating. A lot of the trails we ride on the sandhills of Florida are really tight.

Did the reverse lever defeat this evening.

Took the machine out back tonight and saw heavy smoke. Turns out the neighbor behind me was burning brush and it was getting out of hand. Raced over there to help him and before long I was being surrounded by the flames. Jumped in the P5 and punched it for the property line. Once I got out of there and stopped I was surrounded by little critters with big sad eyes. Turns out the nerf bars were the perfect size to get their furry little paws around. If I had room for another set, more could've made it out. 😏

That is freaking hilarious and accurate!!

2 days in a row had to plow snow. Went with the Kfi 66" plow, so glad I went with this system. Sure beats shoveling my driveway by hand!

 

[Alaskamatt]

So these little machines aren't only little tanks, but also will work as a small log skidder..although probably wouldn't last long doing much of it. I dragged 2 trailer loads of cedar logs out of my bosses swamp a couple days. I'm using the poles for framework on a roof I want to build over my deck. The 500 would drag 2 at a time just over 20 foot long without to much trouble. Left her in low gear and she grunted them out and never complained. I become more impressed with these little machines everyday although I'm not sure if I work more now or less since I got my 500.

Played in the snow. Got 9" pretty much overnight. Southwest Idaho.

I've been building a lot of fence on a new cattle lease I picked up. I haven't paused to take many pictures so I'll try to get more next time. This P5 is the ultimate workhorse. I'm really happy with the improvements I've made - aluminum bed, toolbox, 2" hitch, front bumper, Elka shocks, Tusk tires etc.

I also had to move a squeeze chute around. Its well balanced on the toter trailer so the P5 handles it very well. It weighs about 1,200 lbs.

Took the P5 to a nearby trail we ride that requires crossing a big creek. We do it all the time and it's no big deal. It was warm enough today to get some melt off though and the water level must've been a bit higher than normal, seemed to be moving faster too. About midway across I started breaking traction and the next thing I knew we were being pushed downstream. I could feel the machine tipping side to side but heard the nerf bars bouncing off the rocks, they were keeping us upright. Grabbed my folding shovel and tried to use it as a paddle to steer us to the bank but the machine was too heavy and the current too strong, I couldn't hold it. I was starting to panic because I could hear the waterfall around the next bend. Quickly I stuck the shovel through the nerf bar and used it as a make shift oar lock, now I had a rudder. With that and the tires spinning like a prop we made it to the edge.
Must've lost my bag of jerky in all the commotion and watched it go over the falls as we were climbing out. Nothing I could do to save it though. 😢
