I'm really wanting to buy the P1000 EPS. My concern is with the clutches. This thing will be used for a true utility 75% of the time. Hunting, farm use, pulling trailers 1500-2000Lbs at slow to moderate speeds. I know yall are tired of reading about clutches but I don't want to make a costly mistake by buying a machine not suited for my needs. I really like Honda though. Thanks for yalls input.

The clutches are a warranty item. I had mine replaced and the only sucky thing about it is having your rig sit in the shop and not having it. Evidently the clutches are only failing on a minute amount of machines, and the story goes only on the 2016 models.

Im happy with mine. The only thing that could make it better is some lower gears and the gas pedal being a few inches further forwardser. I moved my tires but the pedal didn't follow. Poop.

I have a 700 and I love it. But if the 1000 would have been available I would have bought it.

Love my EPS but I wouldn't use it to haul/pull a lot of trailers around. I have tractors for that.

I have a 1000-3 EPS and use it just as you intend, with the exception of pull trailers often, but I do pull a few, all with no problems and I love my ride.
