I was under the impression that the 570 Pro+ is just a software limited 650 Pro+ nowadays? Plenty of poke even in the 570, it'll eat my Polaris 570 as an appetizer.New quad fetched today. changed a bit earlier than planned to take advantage of the 5 yr warranty if done before the end of this month.
CanAm 650 Pro instead of a 570 Pro, and it’s a completely different beast. Updated suspension geometry means towing capacity even better and very much more stable in turns. Oh, and another 11hp, not that it needed it.
Had a tracker fitted on this one too, as too many are getting pinched now.

The 570 Pro is indeed a downrated 650 V-twin. The 570 is 48hp and the 650 is 59hp, but I agree the 570 has never been lacking in power. The 650 has a new suspension set up and is 2" wider, making it a very different ride. Rated towing capacity is up from 590 to 750kg, but I'm sure that's only ever meant as a guide....

See mums going about in Vauxhall corsas with 3 kids in back!
My wife would agree with JP1. Remember first time we went away on holiday with 1 baby for 2 nights. She completely filled the back of a discovery!

Small kids seem to accumulate a horde of stuff with them. Tiny baby no worries. Time you start putting a pram, bike, two bags of nappies, porta-potty and a travel cot in the car you will be wanting a Volvo estate... Been there.

My womans sister has 2 kids and a vauxhall corsa.
Hoping 1 child in this will do us a while but I'm already seeing the mountain of gear arrive day by day in the babys room when I get home each day, amazon delivery guy must be on first name terms by now!

Yeah, brings back memories. Also get used to apologising to the bin men for the overflowing bins full of nappies.

I used to have a Mk5 Golf GT tdi, absolutely loved it, brilliant car, till her that must be obeyed declared it too small for "family life"
Got an Audi A4 Avant now, does the job but doesnt do anything for me. if I have the choice when i go out the house I take my Hilux.
Sometimes she fills the Audi with kid paraphernalia as well.

needs a new spout there's no loop on it
Do you need one to fertilise apple trees? Visited a cider apple grower in Brecon, pretty sure he used one at a low pto speed and it slung a slug of fert out at the end of the spout travel.

it will do that job well I'm not sure if the length of the throw is adjusted by the rpm or the length of the spout
