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

[Jshell3]

I cut down a 30 foot or so tall pine today to drop across a road that I wanted to block while being gone for a couple weeks and it started to fall the opisite direction that I wanted it to. So I stopped cutting through and got the P5 and hooked my winch to it, backed up what I considered to be a safe distance and pulled it over, but about 5 feet of the top branches of the pine slammed on top of the roof of the P5! Though I had to cut the branches off the P5 to get out from under it, no damage at all was sustained to the roof (or anything else for that matter) such is the thickness and durability of the Honda roof.

Good. Because I bought the Honda roof today... and was trying to come to terms w spending the money..

I hear you brother, I thought the same thing when I bought mine, but they are so thick, I bit the bullet and did it and it's been through hell besides what I posted above. I promise that you'll not be disappointed J!!!

I would have had a hard time paying for the Honda roof but my dealer included it for free when I purchased my P5. I have been very pleased as well. It is a nice quality item.

Blueberry got a roof today...
Tho, I must say, "There's no reason this should cost more than $80."

$350!?!?

Well, I bought one.
So Honda win.

No, you won, you're now blocked from the sun and at least some rain.

Emphasis on SOME rain lol I had my 5 year old nephew riding with me one time and it started to rain. He said we would be dry because of the roof. Needless to say we got soaked. It probably wouldn't be too bad with a windshield but its too hot for that in FL.

I installed a Moose 2" receiver on my P5 last night. I wish I would have done this sooner!

P500 - Anyone install a 2" receiver?

Indeed the emphasis is on "some" and qiute a bit more with the windshield that can be removed and reinstalled in moments.

Went to load my P5 today and s***, no ramps! So I had to improvise, an 8' gate and a couple of cattle panels with a hay bale under the center for support!

And that my friends is why it's important to have stuff around, you just never know.

I put a race mirror in, one of those segmented ones. I mounted it from the moose roof. It is as wide as the inside of the cage and lets me see everything behind me, I highly recommend one!

Sounds great, just remember to have some fun out there too. Can't just be work every time you go to the cabin or mama will get tired of going, lol.

Without the Machine and it's Superwinch this thing would have been a booger to drag up the 10' high bank we had to drag him to. In Arkansas we have to catch him with a hand snare before we can dispatch them. We stalked this boy for 6 hours before we were able to snare him. In all it was a 10 hour hunt until we got him to bank. He was 12'3" and about 750lbs.

Wow!
