Any input on new Pioneer 500 ?

[nc redneck]

I bought the 700-4 a few months ago, really like it. I have 2 tractors for serious work and understand the Honda 700 or 500 is not a workhorse like Kubota or Kioti. Looking for input on possible 500 owners or people like me who are looking hard at it.
Thanks

Don't have a Honda SxS but the 700-4 is a nice looking machine. My one friend bought one a few months ago and is also very pleased with it. The 500 sounds decent (especially for the price) but I just can't get past the front end. Looks like they forgot a piece of it. Figure the aftermarket will take of that soon enough.

I have a Pioneer-2 that I ordered and took delivery of a few weeks ago.
For the entry price of a 500 it seems like a nice machine but my biggest concern about it is how tippy it looks.
I am waiting to see one in person to really pass judgement on it.

For the price and what I believe demand will be I already put a ( refundable ) deposit on one. Only reason I got my 700-4 camo 2 months ago is someones financing fell apart. I told dealer I could buy in 24 hours ( and did )
It will be by far not the best race machine, but it is a Honda and it will be hard to break it. I am to old to try to bust a off road vehicle 2 or 4 wheel.
Any thoughts or experience with 500 wanted.
Thanks

The 500 has really grown on me recently, enough that we been thinking about adding one to our stable. Anyone have any exp. with them and any issues with them being tippy?
