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

[100Acre]

Where did you get that and how much did it cost.

Looks like a PulPal made for recovery gear good for self rescue from deep sand etc. much like a land anchor
Pull-Pal winch anchor, foldable land anchors for 4x4, Jeep, ATV, UTV, off-road, all-terrain-vehicles

Words of wisdom: Please carry a fire extinguisher at all times!

Without going into too much detail, Saturday I was pulling my rough cut mower and cutting down a field when I noticed smoke. Brown grass had collected between the skid plate and the engine and ignited. I had two water bottles with me and before I could do anything, the grass underneath was on fire. I had stopped the engine and left it in gear so when I tried to push it out of the way, it would not move. Tried to turn it on and put in neutral, but the wires were toast by then. My house was a good half mile away. My wife was with me so we grabbed the phones out of the glovebox, grabbed my tool bag and ran while calling 911. It took less than a minute for the plastic and tires to be on fire.

I did manage to disconnect and move the mower away before we ran. It suffered minor damage.

On another note, my new 700-4 Deluxe will be delivered tomorrow.

If anyone is near Clarksville, TN, I have two Strongmade bumpers and a box which can probably be salvaged. Sell real cheap! Rollcage and wheels might be salvageable.. no idea about the engine or transmission.

Man that sucks! Sorry to see that. My first thought was that you must have had a Polaris sticker on it.... seriously though, glad no one was hurt. Good luck with your new machine!

Wow..... So glad no one was injured.

Just ordered a KFI winch mount and Terra 35 winch. I hate wiring and electrical, but with the writeups on this forum I should be able to get it together.

Well that's one way to lighten a 500!

So sorry @swinn glad you and your wife are fine. Thanks for the heads up!

Just a thought, maybe you can make this story its own thread so all forum members might find it easier. Seems like very important info to me.

Mount and winch arrived today. Got them mounted up. Hope to wire it this weekend.

Has anyone had any issues with overheating after adding there winch here in front of the radiator? The KFI mount seems pretty popular, so I'm guessing it will be ok?

Received and mounted my Bimini top today. Took her for a drive in the rain with giant raindrops smacking me in the eyeballs. It was awesome!

Looks good bowtie! I have the KFI plate on mine too, never had a problem overheating. Gives it a little more protection if anything.
