In the market for side by side. Narrowed it down between the pioneer 1000 or defender Hd9. Looking for pros and cons of both. Any info would be helpful in my selection process. Noise, speed, reliability, ride, all of it.

Honda. Not even a question. Especially for reliability. It may not be the fastest or smoothest but it won't leave you on the trail stranded. No belt to break. Real transmission and gears. Every oil change also changes the trans fluid as they run in the same fluid. I had a pioneer 700 and it was amazing. Now have a talon. Never any issues on either aside from maintenance. Just my 2 pennies as a 24 year veteran mechanic.

I do all my own services end repairs.

But the B.U.D.S system from BRP is a crime. Have an can-am ATV and a skidoo snowmobile, both standing still because I can't read the ECU.

Had a lot of silly troubles with the ATV from new. Not nice to standing in the middle of nowhere and the thing will not start. And suddenly after a few minutes is starts like there was nothing happened. 

Never a BRP product for me again.

 

edit: I wrote DESS intead of B.U.D.S.

Honda is a well-made machine as most all of Honda products, but I'll warn you that the cab in the P1000 gets hot from the engine heat. If yd need a windshield, make absolutely sure you can open part of it for much needed ventilation.  Can Am did have a reliable rep when I was shopping 5 years ago, but Honda rep can't be beat.  Polaris has many more machines on the road (trails), more dealers, and more accessories available.   I own several Honda machines including a P1000 primarily because they just keep running year after year.

The P1000 is not sporty, but it is a great workhorse that you can certainly use on the trails.  It has plenty of power.  I don't think you need the paddle shifting unless you're really into "playing" in the dirt which some people seem to enjoy.

      Howdy new member here . My hobby's Rabbit dogs , gamefowl . I'm retired from my real job but I stay busy with the hounds and gamefowl . So to help around the farm I ran across an old 2007 CC Big Country 4x2 to haul feed , water , sprayer and my sorry a$$ .It is in pretty good shape , 781 hrs. good plastic , tires, ect. . But as anything outside and 18 years old it needs seats ! The thing I have found wrong mechically the Diff. Lock Acturtor is broken where it mounts to the bracket ( partly why Im here ) . Hoping someone here can help  ! Just my wish list but Id like to find a roll cage and a composit/plastic top for it Im thinking I'll need a donor to salvage these things from ( again partly why Im here ) .Is there another brand that uses this same actuator? If anyone reads this and has or knows of any of threse parts PLEASE HOLLER !!

      2005 Cub Cadet side by side front axles
      By Robbie Wyre
      I'm working on a 2005 Cub Cadet side by side and I'm trying to remove the front two axles.  I have a slide hammer puller on the inner joint and with all my strength they will not budge.   Anyone have the same issues and is there something I'm missing or a trick of some sort to pull these out?   Any suggestions please and thank you.
