Honda pioneer

Does anyone run one, how has it stood up to farm use.

Just looking at an alternative to gator/mule as I feel they are getting to heavy for being an atv.

Neighbours just bought one ex demo converted to lpg, says it travels very well as it’s a lot lighter than some of the diesel gator type machines. Very wet around here so a big plus.

I tried one on demo, awful thing, cab was naff, so much noise it was ridiculous, getting back in the gator was heavenly

I have had a demo and have to say I liked it, I know it’s not gator comfort but I feel it is more of an atv, where these other things seem to be too heavy so you may aswell use a Landry, also this wet season they are just making a mess.

I feel the Honda is basically a 2 seater quad and a safer option than a big quad.

Just seemed like a bit of an American dune buggy/ horse paddock taxi type thing to me, definitely isn't a proper work horse like a Honda quad is, if your set on one make sure it's ex demo or second hand because I think it would blow a serious amount of money in a short space of time

Get one on demo would be my advice. We sell them and they are fantastic machines, they really do tick the boxes. Powerfull, quick, maneuverable and not too heavy

So did I, all of the above plus windscreen leaked in down dash then all down your knees!
No power steering and no diff in the rear, just tore things up when turning.
Bought a Can-am, couldn’t be happier so far.......fingers crossed ?. Worlds apart.

I do like the rear brakes on the pioneer being on the drive shaft not in the mud and wheel hubs.
