I intend to use my Talon on the farm.
Which would you choose to take over a chiseled field the Pioneer or a Talon?

Taking lunch or a certain tool the Talon will work fine, but that being said the Pioneer isn't leaving either we will use them both.

If people are buying Talons to do anything other than trail/dune ride or race because "cool factor", then that's on them for buying the wrong machine.

Common sense says you wouldn't buy a RZR, YXZ, X3 or KRX to do yard and farm work...
Maybe we just like to do yard work fast!

All you Vivienne Engineers are so full of it 🤣 Half the " issues" brought up are not an issue with the 1000X version or a Pioneer1000, yall bought the wrong model based on bigger spec sheet numbers.

I'd adopt a version of the Honda civic cvt for both the Talon and the P1k. CVT for those who want it and its advantages, but with fixed "shift points" emulating a 6 (or 7 or 8) speed for those who like ripping through the gears. And a manual diff lock on the talon for those who want it.

Tires are expensive, and driveline bind breaks s***.
Does any brand make a sport SxS with a selectable rear locker? What have you broken because of this rear "driveline bind"? Sounds to me like you bought the wrong type of machine for your actual use and that a Pioneer or Jeep would have been a better choice. No?

Polar-ass offered some RZRs with turf-saver rears. Not in the high zoot models IIRC.
