No grunt, no spin stump pulling today. Kinda did think it would fell like towing.

I needed to check where I have to install some drain pipes to make it easier to get the tractor through the woods. Figured it was much easier to jump in the SxS and make a loop around.

Been using my Can-am pretty much daily around my place. Putting a lot of miles on it. Can't believe how handy it is, hauling stuff around, spraying Mormon crickets, spraying weeds. Love this thing!

Nice! I think I just rolled 100 miles tonight, only had it for about two weeks. It is a nice machine, with a great ride.
What is the pipe on the roof, I never saw anything similar.

They ride even better after removing the rear anti sway bar.

Mine had nearly 4000 miles on it now.
There's actually 2 pipes up there. One of the things Can-am could have done better(at least on this particular year/model) is the location of the OEM air intakes. Both intakes (belt and engine air) are under the bed of the unit. Here in the desert, this time of year a lot of the roads and trails develop silt beds - very deep, very fine dust. All that dust kicked up by the tires gets sucked into the belt chamber and the air filter housing - it can completely plug up an air filter in 20 miles of driving. Can-am sells "snorkel" kits that move the air intakes up high - but they are super expensive and obstruct the view through the rear view mirror. So I made my own "snorkel" kit using 2" ABS pipe. Only cost a few bucks and now both air intakes breathe from the top of the windshield. Since I made this mod I've not had to clean out either the belt chamber or the air filter. It may look weird...but I don't care!

I could get used to the appearance, especially knowing what it does.
Our Club Car 1700D uses the driver's side boxed frame rail as the engine air intake and takes air at the very front of the rig near the radiator. Not sure how many makes do that?

No problem like that with our 2019 Honda 700-4. Like mentioned before, may need to check your radiator and coolant level.

As I recall, that's how it is on my HiJet, too.

Not a good place for something that could see deep mud or creek crossings in our neck of the woods. Any thing below at least seat level is likely to suck water in my uses and I don't go looking for mud. When we flash flood even tractors do some wading to clear obstructions in creek or ditches to allow the water move.
