Josh, what is the MSRP? Cool machine! Seems to meet the needs of your farm, and most other jobs it's designed for.
The MSRP is "If you need to ask, you can't afford it. "
$25,000 about, more than what I paid for my Mercedes Benz 😂
Used maybe, but the average new car price is getting close to $50K.
$23,500 which is super competitive for this kind of machine
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Thanks Josh. I appreciate your response.
Gotta have fun when you are working, or what's the sense?
What I get all the time is "why don't you just buy a Jeep?". As it turns out, I have two Wranglers and two 4x4 trucks. They are not interchangeable!! The SxS treads so much lighter and will fit places even my 2 door won't go.
I never realized I needed a SxS so much until I bought one. There is a reason they have become the modern day farm truck.
When I worked at the Motorcycle Shop back in the 70’s we always did a thorough “test drive” on any three-wheeler that came in for service. The four wheelers hadn’t hit the market yet. Try as we may, we never broke any of those three wheelers.
I just put 150 miles on our 23 Pioneer 700-4 for our farmstead and it's been a blessing. Not having to pull a hand cart with bales of hay in all the rain like we had in California this winter made it worth its weight in gold. Collecting and putting out the temp step in posts for moving the hotwire goes lickity split now too. With the 4 seat all the kiddos get to have a blast riding around on it too.
Modern pickups have become too loaded with bells and whistles (not to mention the exorbitant price tag) to make a no frills honest to goodness work truck to beat around in. People around where I live in rural Missouri drive their SxS's everywhere-including my small town. The savings on gasoline and not having to license them is worth it. (The ones with A/C, power steering, heaters, et cetera are the ones that make me ask why the owner didn't just buy a pickup LOL.)
I appreciate this. There isn’t much information on TH-cam on this. Just media rides mainly. I am getting this unit for trail riding mainly. Thank you for this video!
If you end up buying it from Honda and tagging it you will need that 60 mph. We drive our Can Am Defender on the road a lot. When we need to run down the road for diesel or take the trash off it's the handiest choice.
I really like what they have done with this latest update.
Good review! I just bought one at the local cycle shop after our old Ranger 800 Crew bit the dust. It's still at the shop putting a roof on, windshield front receiver hitch and other stuff but I really like it. It's for my 240 acre farm here in Texas and I think it will do the job.
Thanks for posting.
Nice info, Josh. We don’t use our UTV as much as I thought we would. I’m glad we bought used - new prices are a little crazy.
I want one but dont even need it. I just wanna take it for a spin in my town by the alfalfa fields and trails.
Just caught this vid Josh. Them are great machines and I had a blast on our Montana Honda Pioneer trail ride! When you own land, an ATV or UTV is a MUST HAVE!! Booyah!!
That Honda is a nice machine, Josh. I hope you work a deal to keep it with you, my friend! Loved the cows' response at the end! Lol! Wooooo!
We use our Polaris Ranger on our 6 acres *constantly.* We find it indispensable for working on our property. It's definitely a work tool and not a toy.
Amen! Some folks think a small pickup could take the place of this...I assure ya it wont...you know that for sure
Great video! I grew up on my Grandfather’s 150 acre beef cattle farm in WV!
In the market for a 6 seater side by side. Really like the pioneer!
Ride Red!!! We only run Honda ATVs, some only need occasional carb cleaning and wear items. Honda also sells very convenient and cost effective “service kits” including all of the Honda oil, filters, and what you need to do your own services. In total I have 7 Honda four wheelers and a dirt bike for the family with the newest one being a 2004 Rubicon. The rest are way older but still do what they need to for the family, farm, and trails. My goal is to sell and upgrade some of the 2wd to get Honda 4wd four wheelers so we all have 4wd. Other than that the Honda Pioneer 1000-6 or the Honda Talon SxS will be my next new or newer Honda purchase. I wish there was a U.S. manufacturer that could compare to the reliability, functionality, and quality that Honda provides, but there isn’t. Having shaft drive vs belts are a major differentiator. Who wants to have to carry a spare belt with them in case one fails when miles away from civilization? Not me! I hope to start creating informative videos and experiences of our life and progress on our farm in the future. (I would not be trying to compete with Josh) Josh is an inspiration and gives me the drive to make changes. The main similarities would only be that it’s a farm, a veteran, and similar mindset when it comes to care for the animals, preserving and improving the environment. Keep on rocking it, Josh!!! 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
Good morning Josh, that is one beautiful side by side
12:50😊😅
Very nice
Quality and versatility…plus some fun thrown in.
My 2008 Honda atv is a work horse. I couldn't do near what I have to do without it! Between it and the 20kw whole house backup generator...I don't know which was the better buy!?
The cubbies you mentioned in the tailgate are actually there in case you put a tag on the vehicle to make it street legal. You can drill the holes & attach the nuts inside there.
Thanks, very helpful
I'd love one of these. Looks awesome
Hey Josh thank you for the video I enjoyed it and when you go woo to the cows I do the same thing like you do that's the cow song woo and I like it
Nice unit there, Josh
Out of all the stuff you showed my fav is the tie downs in the bed. I have an odes china sxs and I installed tie downs iny bed but factory ones look so much nicer.
I like Honda as well- we have an atv. We are curious about the 1000. Thanks for the overview. The only thing I am disappointed about is it does not have an electric dump. I hope they make it an option!
Im pretty sure you can get electric dump. But at the extra cost, power steering is a more useful feature
nice machine.....kamikaze made......
Pretty cool.. stay safe 🏴
Great video keep them coming please
Very Nice Unit!
Thank you for sharing
🤗🇺🇸🏆🙏
Deli Man can't afford it. haha. You need it; you need it! I'd get a Honda 4 wheeler. Maybe my neighbor will think of me. :) But not the plan... His opinion of his, if you take care of it lasts like forever.
Look 👀 like an awesome machine
I'd like to see farm work done with it, cultivating, planting, mowing raking
My 2009 Kawasaki Mule 4010 has been a tank. Absolute tank with that industrial 650cc motor. It is a big part of my property care and fun. Not fast. Maybe 34 mph tops. But pulls like a mule and seats 5. Also folds rear seat for additional two foot of bed. Very convenient.
Alas it is nearly time for a new one. Nothing wrong with this one. 1785 hours and plenty of life left. Likely go with another mule workhorse. However I am gonna look around. Checking out Honda and Kubota. Thanks for going over machine. Looks like the right fit for SRF.
Check out Bobcat. They have 0% for 84 months 22K for a diesel 6 seater which is actually a Polaris Ranger relabled.
I wish the beds on these utv's were a bit bigger!
Howdy Josh, Dickinson,tx
For tough work and for the money I’d go for the Kubota X1100C. Tight cab, hydraulic lift with high capacity, heat & AC, efficient diesel, good clearance. Maybe not as fast, but fast enough for maintenance work in tough terrains.
Another vote for kubota x1100c. Just a great all around smooth operating machine. Hydraulic power steering, limited slip front and locking rear, independent front and rear suspension. The enclosed cab is outstanding! The Honda dual clutch transmissions are very jumpy at slow speed. Even during this video you can see the op head bounce around due to jerky acceleration.
Honda is just better, I have a Kabota tractor, and it does that great, Honda to get there.
Cows are looking good hay❤😂🎉😮😮😅😊
How much did anyone pay....I got mine in December 2023 in San Diego. Curious for the cost in other states...why no one mentions ADM dealer markup. Buy used no sales tax no extra crap but also no history...
One option that attracts me to the Kubota is the hydraulic dump bed because I would need to haul and dump soil, rocks.... and want to be able to dump them easily. Can you dump a heavy load with these type beds, or does it have to be done by hand or, do you need to make sure the loads heavier towards the back so the bed will tilt when released? Thanks
You can buy an electric dump cylinder if it’s not a factory option. It may be an option, I’ve never looked into it
Does that have a "turf" mode in it? A lot of the higher end ATVs and UTVs have an option to unlock the rear dif for traversing finished turf.
My 2014 1000 does.
yeppers..it has turf mode
Good morning Josh its awesome that you do honest reviews
Whoooo have an awesome day on the farm
How is it getting to the oil filter?
I know Honda pays you well for these commercials but that’s not why most folks are here and they’re here for the video. Have a great day.
this is not a commercial and honda did not pay me Eddie. This is my honest review of this handy machine after 6 months on the farm
Will it run down 30 in crop rows without running over the crop? Diesel?
I don't have to open a rear door when opening the dump bed. Give it a try.
Question, the 100mile initial service, did you do your valve inspection or got adjusted ? Or just replace oil and filters? Getting ready for my initial service in my 1000-6 as well. Thx
They want $750 for the 100 mile / intial service here in San Diego CA...
Hi..... Josh nice to see you love watching your videos homestead you are great I really enjoy watching your videos homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐕🐈🐄🐝🐠🐟🎣 🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
I have a John Deere 620i Gator. When it runs it is a great vehicle but I am not impressed by its quality and will probably get something else when I replace it. I have always had good luck with Honda products. Owned many of their motorcycles.
HONDA PIONEER AND NEVER LOOK BACK!!!!!!
Let miss Stoney ridge drive it
she drives it all the time
For real bro.. 2:44 that’s an absolute dump truck of a perfect sitter she got! Well done!!!!!!! 10/10 id risk it
I like the extra seating, but I just of something. You can't dump the bed from the driver's seat, can you.? I guess it's not a big deal. I wonder if there's a way to make that work for Honda or any of the other manual dump with extra seating.?
There’s always a way! I can think of a few. Without an electric dump bed you will still have to get out of the buggy to latch the bed back down
Some people have commented that heat from the engine gets into the cab and is uncomfortable in warmer weather, is that still the case? Thanks in advance.
I have a 22 1000-5, and the engine heat in the cab is still an issue. Nice in the wintertime, but not so much in the summer time.
I have a 1000-3 & taking the doors off in the summer has definitely helped. Makes a world of difference. Still wish it wasn’t an issue at all.
Wondering if the switches are backlit? The rmax and wolverines do not..
nope not backlit
I can't decide between a Honda Pioneer or the Can-Am Defender Pro with the huge bed. I really wish Honda made a SxS with the bigger bed and it'd be a no-brainer for me. I'd throw money at them but am looking at the Defender Pro because I need the bigger bed for farm/construction/ranch use.
when it comes to a bed that long...you may as well just buy a small import pickup truck brother...save your money and get the honda for smaller jobs and hauling people
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer appreciate the reply but I’ve looked into that and those little trucks are not tough enough for the mostly off-road work I’m doing. That is, if you’re talking about the Asian mini-trucks.
Honda has made great strides to catch up in the side by side game. They’re still not the best option, in my personal opinion, but there is no doubt they‘ve always made some of the highest quality stuff.
No loud belt chatter with an automotive style automatic transmission or unreliable and frequent belt replacement😊
@@melissasmess2773 no argument there!
The Honda Pioneer should come with a cows horn to call in the cows with. Like the diner time pied piper of cow horns.
👍
Someday.
Way too much money! Used compact pickup, the way to go. Doesn't even have weather cabin, and at least a 6' bed and I own a Honda four-trax, but I m always going to my "POORLY" made 1998 DAKOTA,just seems to always start, don't see too many '98 Honda cars out there. Just my opinion, great money maker for the manufacturer, though😊PS the Dakota only had "1" payment. GO MOPAR
you simply cannot get a compact pickup into the places that a side by side will go. Once you've owned a sxs you'll never look back my friend....it's hands down much more useful than a little pickup...smoother and much more lightweight
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer keep on telling yourself that haha I'll be thinking about you when it's freezing rain or 95° and you got a nice hot butt and a large monthly payment. Ps make wider roads you'll thank me later. I'll stick with the Dakota and Four trax in the real world
Does the bed have a hydraulic assist to dump when loaded? In your video it sounds like a lift gate on a mini van. Instead of the DC accessory outlet in back would be nice to have a 110 plug for a power source. Those type outlets are kinda getting extinct. since the door openers are on the inside, I'm guessing the don't have a full door kit with uppers?
you can get a power dump if you want it...my opinion is it's not worth the expense
Was hear
Wooooo!
The only possible issue I saw during the video is the open brake reservoir getting damaged if trail riding, maybe an upgrade to a metal tank for durability.
Honda has this pretty well engineered, but it's interesting that you can see the brake res right there under the fender
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I'm sure they do but yes I agree, I don't see this off-roading hard enough for that to happen in 99% of cases anyway.
Have you ever used any attachments on the back or pulled anything with it?
Attach a heavy duty electric winch?
yeppers....you should see me pulling the wood chipper in this vid
Like your videos,
This was a little too much Honda is quality. And you said the same thing about Kubota last year, I'm confused.
Both are quality but the kubota is very sluggish and louder
60 mph across the farm? Does that really make sense? That's freeway speed.
the top speed of a Lamborghini might be 205mph...but you're not gonna drive across town at 205 my friend. That's just the top speed of the machine. Typically we're at about 3-10mph on the farm
IDK what freeways you have but around my parts 60mph is rural road speed and freeways are 80+. Secondly, while he was just stating the spec of the machine, I have an 800 acre ranch and 60mph across fields and service roads in emergencies is not unheard of. 20mph takes minutes when seconds count... which happens more than you might think.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer SO - "typically" the Kubota is fast enough for the farm.😀
Also in NC. Where he and I live, sxs can be made street legal so 60 is ideal for road speeds
Everyone I know that bought a pioneer has sold it in two years or less
I’ve seen people sell their Hondas and buy Polaris or Can-Am because they think they look cooler and then they’re Polaris and Can-Am constantly breaks down because it’s not a Honda
back to 240 lbs? 😉
Isn’t the kubota a diesel, if so it has a different drive train, hydraulic I think. Its advertised not for speed, plus how many spots on a farm is speed safe?
the kubota is a tank for sure....but it's so loud that if you ride it around the property for longer than about 5 mins you need earplugs....it's a great machine but way too loud
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer so true!! the kubota diesel is loud, I can hear traveling before in sight. I do like the Honda a lot.👏🏻👍🏻
I would spend $30,000 for a great UTV for off roading fun but a $3,000 beater pickup for ranch work is all I want.
To each their own, but your beater truck probably won't have a dump bed and will tear up the grass and compact the soil wherever it goes.
yep....a UTV is much easier, lighter and handier than a little pickup...trust me I have one
Just needs a machine gun mount for some of these crazy people who just pop in demanding stupid thoughts of what they think are right.
Hop on your horse 😂
I am just being funny Josh 😊
Hello, Are you interested in testing our products? We would like to invite you to test the Rear Window Net Fit for your Honda Pioneer 1000-6
you can email us at stoneyridgefarmer.com if you'd like to discuss
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Hii, thank you for your kind reply. We already contacted, please check it.
Honda foreman 500?
yeppers....we have 2 on the farm
Definitely a broken toy. Mine took a dump after 300 miles. And honda want warranty it. If you buy make sure your gonna leave it in the garage and not drive it.
not impressed with mine at all. bed squeaks and at low speeds across rough ground its not a comfortable machine at all and extremely jerky. very outdated
hmmm...my roof sometimes creaks, and the bed squeaks if dirty and not lubed....maybe you need to drop a little lithium grease on your dump release latches? Not sure. I agree....the DCT can shift firm, and downshifts whether ya like it or not lol...still a great machine
200th viewer 👌
Way way too much of a Honda commercial. I mean how many times did they require you to say "Honda means quality"?
When I do an unbiased review of a tool, and it's a good tool...then I tell ya..if it's junk...I'll tell ya.....Every time I do a review on something folks seem to think it's a commercial....but it's simply my take on a tool buddy........Honda never asked me to say anything about quality...it's something that I truly believe and that's all there is to it. We've been using this machine for 6 months on the farm and 3 years on the ATVs every single day. Honda does mean quality!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer next time you make a review it better be the most uninspiring unexcited good review as not to provoke this guy. You should know you shouldn’t be so excited about a good product
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer - Nothing wrong with making a buck from sponsors good on you. Did they give the UTV to you for free?
Honda doesn’t make any junk. I’ve been fortunate enough to have acquired a 1983 Honda Shadow, 2000 Honda pressure washer & a 2007 Honda Ridgeline that now has over 400,000 trouble-free miles. I wouldn’t trade any of them for a newer anything… unless, maybe, it was for another Honda.
I’ve had Honda ATVs for 25 yrs and 2016 Honda Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe for 7 yrs . The best brand they make! End of discussion!
I have a 2018 Limited. Love the mechanics of a Honda. But, Honda is about 15 years behind the others for accessories. The heater is junk. The cab doesn't seal worth a dam. Cold air comes through the shifter holes terribly. No full windshield that folds up. Could go on about accessories. I can tell you for a fact Honda is loosing a lot of sales due to this. Guess they are too busy designing and building jets.
If you want a Can Am, Polaris or Gator...then get it done buddy. Remember, honda isn't known for luxury or bells and whistles...it's reliability, convenience and dependability. Honda Jet isn't honda powersports my friend...sounds like you need a polaris or something suitable to your climate...or maybe just buy a 4 runner
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer uh oh, didn't mean to trigger you. Sorry. Maybe you can get a puppy and find a safe space.
You make a video on anything and everything must be bored
I make videos on what I'm using or doing with my life buddy....and it's not boredom that drives it. In between farming, building and traveling all over the country...I make these videos for you
Thanks Josh. Really enjoy all the videos and get lotsa usefull info, insight and suggestions way down here in Curacao. Keep em coming!
