[@ricks.1092]

I just purchased a Honda Pioneer. I went with Honda for 2 main reasons. One Honda's have an excellent reputation for "Reliability," and second a year earlier I purchased a Honda Rancher ATV and the ATV has been rock steady. We (wife, kids &me) purchased 207 acres and build our dream home on it. We spent a year on just the planning phase, where the house would go. How much of the land the house sits on is flat (graded). And which parts trails and other graded areas we were going to do. Initially I used the tractor as a means of getting around or the riding mower. These tools just didnt cut. So we got 2 ATV's and then realized a UTV would be best for things like tree trimming with a pole saw, maintaining the trails. There's always something to do when you live on a lot of land. Mind you my wife nor I are not ranchers/farmers. We just wanted to reside on a lot of land to hand down to the family for generations to come. My wife is a Veterinarian and she moved her practice from suburbia to rural area. Which is actually been better for her practice due to house calls for farm/ranch animals. I still work in Nashville and have to commute about 80 miles to the hospital....I'm a surgeon at Vanderbilt U, Medical Center. I wish we moved here sooner. We love living out here. Working on the property and maintain things my stress relief therapy. We do have some animals on the property, e.g., a few cows, a bunch of Kiko and Pygmy goats, 2 Turkey's and so forth. The all roam freely. The property is fenced where needed and of course the trees/woods provide a natural barrier. Even Abby the Doberman runs around playing with the goats. But she mostly stays in the backyard close to the house. Abby is an inside/outside doggy. When you reside on a lot of land, people don't realize the equipment/tools you need. My Kubota tractor is the price of a new car. So if you want to live on a few acres or more. COnsider the expense in acquiring these items.

[@kdegraa]

Yeah farm equipment is expensive. I think this one reason why a lot of land is going back to bush. Land owners don’t have the tools needed to look after it.

Honda's are bulletproof.

If you use them, it's a moot point.

[@christopherallen9615]

Great video. You gave some good well-thought-out pros and cons. To be honest I think the cons aren't that bad. I think Honda is probably as reliable As It Gets. I'm a big fan of Honda. I live here in Kentucky where everybody has multiple four-wheelers and UTV's and such. There are a lot of polaris's running around. Is die hard as some people are I've never heard somebody say Polaris is reliable. They just buy them because it's a popular name. I think if not for the RZR, setting a trend, Polaris would not be a very profitable company. Just my opinion based upon a long time involved with off-road stuff. Thanks again for the video.

I’m not going to pay for an engine rebuild on a brand new sled.The next season the piston broke and Polaris said sorry they would not extend the warranty. I took the sled to another shop had the engine rebuilt and traded it on a new Yamaha mountain Max. Told Polaris I would never own another product of theirs because they don’t look after customers.

I have 2017 700 4 love it very good work horse. Not good for trails because of width 60inches most places 50inches limits, so I bought a 16 Polaris 900, like it for that been lucky not major issues, if I had to get rid of one it would be the Polaris, need my workhorse more.

[@MOUSEBOWEN]

Awesome outstanding video. Thank you so much for sharing

The doors have a rubber stopper, it can be turned to stop the door rattle.

Great review, Thank You.

Still have my 1995 honda fourtrax 300 two wheel drive:)

The Polaris is a great machine, as long as you don't take it seriously. Polaris would better to be sold as a walmart or tractor supply side by side. Once the problems started with the Polaris, it was like you said, a train wreck. It stayed in shop more than my house. When we planned a ride, the Polaris would always stay home because nobody wanted to walk out the trails. But one thing you are right about. The Honda ride sucks. It rides like a steel horse. But, like it's been said, a poor ride beats a proud walk any day. If you have been fortunate enough to own a Polaris with no problems, my advice is, go play the lottery, your luck is better than most. Great video

Love my pioneer, the only down fall for me is the bench seat gets a bit uncomfortable after a few hours. I use for trail riding and work.

[@joegelencser2571]

With all due respect Hey buddy no need to be angry just stating the facts I'm 60 years old I've had hundreds of different machines including Honda I own a brand new Honda Africa twin the same engine that's on your full Wheeler don't get me started this isn't about arguing this is about facts God-bless everyone

[@RedToolHouse]

But your facts are wrong. Or so incoherent I am not sure what you are stating.

[@deere3321]

Our Pioneer now has 1000 miles with no issues. I traded a Polaris Ranger for it and have no regrets.

[@deere3321]

Update...We just hit 3000 miles and no problems. No regrets and I don't miss all the problems we had with the Polaris.

[@FAFO_24]

everyone I know who rides have had nothing but problems out of Polaris and Can Am. I've heard nothing but good things about the Honda

[@mikechrisman2076]

Well guys I got a 2016 Pioneer no issues great machine bought a 2021 defective u joint on the propeller shaft drive line fell out 114 miles made noise since first mile all stock back roads on these miles Honda did fix it nocharge

[@shanehayes6048]

There you go with those sounds again Troy. :-)

[@bombidude]

Good choice. Honda all the way

[@jarrodforet3557]

U mentioned about draining other battery but you can put a switch for a sylanoid to put both batteries in use,or switch off and only run on one battery,when you need 2 flip switch

[@mattdill499]

Great video! We’re you able to get the Super ATV plow hooked up on your Honda? I’m in the market for a SxS and one of the main things it will need to do is plow snow. Also love to see you review your plow and winch in a video sometime.

[@michaelcarter8789]

Key words when they work. I agree.

[@trevorh2436]

My dad bought a Honda rancher electric hand shift in 2000 and it had enough miles on it to go from Mississippi to California and back before it got sold

[@adrianlecuyer]

Anyone that's owned machines for years will tell you Honda and Yamaha are the machines to go for for reliability I've never been let down on Honda or Yamaha

[@tacomafishermen9416]

031987 and Suzuki

[@chaddewitt2836]

One of the cons I was expecting you to have is the extreme heat that comes up from under/behind the seat. I have a 2018 and it is really bad in the summer. I put an aftermarket heat shield kit on it and it barely helps. I have a fan kit that I haven’t put on it because I’m not sure I want to hassle with it now. Other than that I like the machine but it’s kind of a big deal so I’m not sure what I’m going to do.

[@earlfletcher4814]

Love the honest review keep up the good work

[@corgily]

Thanks for the video!

[@normanserena8617]

I'v had hondas of one kind or another since the middle 60s never had a bad one, if you want to sell yours call me.

[@Tony-bi6my]

Loved the indestructable honda quad. Unfortunately ride was very rough. Now we ride yamaha Grizzlies. Plastics brake easily, have had no belt issues. You you hold the throttle to the bars it accelerates smoothly and quickly no waiting for shift. We switched from the Yamaha viking to the Ranger due to the fully enclosed cab, heat and a/c in the cab. Awesome cab, but repair bill's through the roof. Mostly on clutches.

[@scenicdriveways6708]

As far as I know, HONDA is the only all gear driven ATV/UTV on the market. The other brands have belt drive and I don't like them. The only other UTV I would consider is the Roxor.

[@frootz1013]

Great follow up review. Thinking about selling my somewhat reliable gator 825i and buying a “23 pioneer 1000 deluxe to go along with my 1200hr “15 Honda p500(replaced starter)... How about another review, if you still have it...? Also because I love the ‘Friday night fights’ comments 😬

[@frootz1013]

Ha! Perfect! I should’ve been more observant. I’m gonna get one and that’s that! Keep ‘em coming- maybe Honda just might give you one .. 🤞 Thanks

[@hoffmanfamily_homestead2381]

I have a Honda car and love it. Not 1 issue and 150,000 miles so far. However as far as side by sides go I have a Kubota RTV and that thing is a workhorse. No issues at all and it's VERY strong. I even used it to pull my MILs SUV out of the mud. I also have a Kubota BX25 tractor and love that as well.
