Thanks for doing the back-to-back love/hate videos. Everything is always a compromise, and seeing both sides of the coin makes it a lot easier to pick the best compromise for the job.
We bought the honda pioneer 1000 6.....love the transmission, power steering, and horsepower.....im 48 and love the comfort of a full size utv😊....fyi, for as the gas peddle go to autozone n get the aluminum peddle set....put largest peddle on gas peddle to reduce leg fatigue....paint it black.....truck bed lock latch pin, add 5/16" ID fuel tubing or vinyl vacuum line to stop bed rattle and keep a bag of the 8mm pin fasteners.....theyll pop up time to time.........😊
Hey brother! Just wanted to say thank you for putting in the time on these videos. I've watched both the things you like and dislike. You did a great job.
Appreciate you taking the time to comment, and glad you enjoyed them. If you want to see anything specific, or have any questions - just comment! Looking to keep the Pioneer content coming!
Honda is just GOOD. Just got a 2025 like this in green. I love it already. I'm happy I went with the usability rather than the" my side by side is the biggest and fastes" factor I saw alot in shopping around. Not sure what that is good for other than cost and continued cost. Yeah, you can go real fast sometimes. I guess that's good.
I just bought the exact same machine for our family. I purchased for the same reasons you listed... 4 seat capability with a compact chassis. I also picked up the factory full poly windshield and full hard top that covers both front and rear seats. Honda durability and longevity are also a plus. Some of the shortcomings are probably tradeoffs that the engineers made to keep the costs down. All in all, I would definitely recommend. Thanks for the videos!
@@ChoresOnTheFarmChannel I also did not love the price. But while my dude was checking on accessories I walked around and looked at Yamaha and Polaris machines. That actually made me feel a lot better about the Honda.
@@ChoresOnTheFarmChannel that was literally the selling point for buying Honda. The transmission. Second was reliability. Then they snuck me over to the 1000-6 after I got out of the 700 and that was that.
good stuff, thanks for posting. i'm looking at these machines and your video is really helpful. Prices are nuts, but you only live once. You made a really good point though. Helps to offset getting hyped up for these things.
Glad you enjoyed it. I addressed that in previous comments and a separate video. This is one of the first videos I ever made. Very uncomfortable watching yourself back for the first time. I picked up my own vocal mannerisms, and tried to make light of a couple of the things I was self conscious of.
When you have this in manual mode does it have any hold back on a hill my dad has a 2014 2 seat pioneer it doesnt have any hold back on a hill, but other than that he has had zero issues with it right now its going on 23000 miles still honda strong
To be honest I rarely use manual mode. 75% of the time I am riding, at least one of my kids is sitting on my lap. Shifting is just one more thing to think about. I think the main benefit of manual mode is going to be hauling/towing or real dicey terrain where you want to keep it in first. Maybe drag racing too… but unless I am going against a golf cart, I’d probably just take the L. I will try it out next time I am hilly and alone. But even if that issue is there… wouldn’t change my decision.
Wait, what!? 😮 It still has dump bed capability with the flip seats in back? Just after 15:39 Content creation idea... Show us more about the back flip seats and dump bed?
One of the first videos I’ve ever made. Felt pretty awkward. Picked up on my own repeated speech tendencies. Tried to make light of it with self-deprecating humor.
You should be paying around 17k out the door NOT including sales tax for a Deluxe trim. That gets you EPS, paddle shifters, and better looking wheels. The base model should be about $1,500 cheaper. Planning on doing a "trim level" comparison including pricing and features soon!
Check back when I am freezing my butt off around November. I don't love the cab kits I have seen for it, so I haven't looked too hard at a heater (yet). I have a rusty chevy pick-up for brutal days, and lots of sweatshirts for bearable days. That may change!
I have seen a couple of Priuses pulling a trailer that would disagree. Lol. Just picked up a dedicated 2" recovery shackle for the Honda - might try to do a video on that soon.
Awesome Question! I might do a comparison video on the different trims. There are minor differences, but a lot of them are cosmetic (Bigger front bumper, different wheels, camo pattern). The biggest difference is the factory winch. 95%+ of my riding is on the farm where a tractor and tow strap are one phone call and less than a mile away. Couldn't justify spending two grand on a winch that I would likely never use.
I personally didn’t go wit forest or trail was I didn’t want the i4wd crap, idk if it’s the same way on the 700 my my 1000 once you go over the deluxe it all has i4wd
HAY BOB THE BUILDER HERE AGAIN HOW DOSE YOURS HOLD A CHARGE MINE WILL HAVE A DEAD BATTERY AFTER 8 TO 10 DAYS OF NO USE THIS IS CRAZY AND SHOULD HAVE BATTERY DISCONECT IF THEY KNOW THIS WITCH THEY DO AT THE DEALERS THANKS BOB
I've been in louder. You can carry on a conversation cruising. If you get into the throttle it can be a little much. It isn't an electric EZ-GO - but it could be worse!

I have a 24 2 seater forest 700. We love it. My kid rides his mini jeep. We are very satisfied.

Great to hear! Hope it serves your family well for years to come. More content coming soon!
Be sure to service air cleaner regularly if running in dusty conditions.
I have one. It's been bullet proof.
Great review sir! Very informative. I think I found my target machine. The 4 sear capacity in the shorter wheel base for my trailer was key. :)
Nice ride. I just got the 1000-6 deluxe crew and it’s incredible. Climbed right over a bigass fallen tree on day 1.
Would have loved to have the power of the 1000! It is an awesome looking machine. Didn't love the price!
@@ChoresOnTheFarmChannel I also did not love the price. But while my dude was checking on accessories I walked around and looked at Yamaha and Polaris machines.

@@tonym2513 you also have a REAL transmission. I think you will come to appreciate when the other guys are snapping CVT belts.

Great video! Thanks for the detailed review 👍
Thank you am hunting for a either a Pioneer 700 or 1000. Appreciate your help.
Good video, lose the voice effects, it gets tiresome.

Thank you, couldn't agree more.
Could go without the speed up slow down effect
Been addressed multiple times in the comments.
Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it.
your fuses are right where? you opened the hood but I didn't see where the fuses were.
Honda the best.
Are there aftermarket tires that are more roadworthy and not so aggressive?

Will do! And yes. The seats in the upright position lockout the dump feature, but once they are folded, easy to dump.
@@ChoresOnTheFarmChannel that’s awesome that it can actually dump too if needed! Thanks. I think this is what we are looking for. 👍
Good details. The continual slow-mo repeat through the video is DUMB, and anoying.

What is the ball.park price on a 700-4?

@ChoresOnTheFarmChannel okay.
Does anyone make a heater kit for the Pioneer cabs yet? (That you know of)

Currently looking at the 700-4. Glad to find this video. A buddy said to check out the 1000 for increased comfort.
1 1/2 reciever is absolutely useless on anything!! Nice color!!!

Why didn’t you go with the Forest?

@@joshuarossi6691 Nope! The 700 gets plain old “dumb” 4wd across the board.

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 700-4
Damn noisy with the doors on it
