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

Air filter replaced on one, rear axle replaced on another.

Need to change diff fluids, do I drill holes in the SSS skid plate?

I got stuck in a snow drift at -5f. Didn't realize it was so big and hard. Lots of fun digging out.

Yesterday I put on my tracks (Camso X4S) and today, after clearing the driveway for the 3rd time in 2 days I took it for a spin around the yard. Even in the fluffy stuff with no base it did just fine. I just kept it in 1st and putted around- no drama. I live near the Buffalo Bills stadium- hopefully enough people can clear their parking yards to fit everyone! Go Bills! 🦬❄️

Camso tracks are great. Don't have them for the P5 but use them for sled dog trail grooming on the Kawasaki Prairie 360. Have groomed several thousand miles of trail. Some of you may have seen this before. Would have been warmer grooming with the P5 yesderday. Low temp -13 high was -4. It was a chilly ride.

Seriously, there is a hole for draining the oil, but not for draining the diffs. Not terribly interested in removing the skid plate.
Curious what others have done.

I'd drill a hole personally. You can remove the bolt from the top but then it'd be a frickin mess.

That's likely what I'll do. Hopefully won't have to remove the Moose hitch.

Yep, too messy to just let drain out and around the skid. If I was at camp I could park it in my bonfire pit and do that! (jk)

Could just unbolt the rear of the skid and bend it down but it'll still be a mess.

True. Still have to address for the front as well, though. I'll prolly get out the hole saws, or a large paddle bit.

No room to get an oil dry pad between skid and diff?

Maybe; I'll have to guugle what that is! 😆



Hmm, maybe . . .

Shows that a p5 can go just about anywhere for anyone wondering if they want to get one.

I would try that before I drilled a hole in the skid plate

Snowed last night and today. Was dreading coming home and having to plow again but when I pulled in, it was done already. As I was finishing my PB/chocolate concrete mixer from Culver's, I texted the wife and said "what have you been told about touching my sh!t?" She came back with "believe me, I know better than to touch your stuff after the last time, it wasn't me". So wth?! No one else has access to get into that garage but it was clearly my machine that did it, I can see the BH tracks left behind. It's bone dry and sitting on the tender like it's never been moved.... 🤷‍♂️ crazy!
While I was checking it out though I did notice a couple new scratches on the nerfs that need touched up... odd. 😏

POIDH...

Late Jan in Montana and I’ve not had to plow. Yet. Took a ride into the Tobacco Roots and stopped at 8” and went for a hike.

Last night when doing some work in the back sheep barn that has no electric I started mine to use the lights for about 15 minutes. Worked nicer than using a head lamp.
