P700 Rincon reliability vs Pioneer reliability

[Slackjaw]

I owned a 2007 Rincon for 13 years.
It was a great machine. I bought the pioneer because it used the same engine and transmission.

My Pioneer hasn't been in service a full year yet and has spent more time in the shop than the Rincon did it 13 years.

Not a great track record. I'm REALLY hoping the gremlins get worked out. We aren't even confident enough to take the pioneer off the property. Total letdown.


Rant over.

I don't believe Honda quality is what it used to be...but, I've now had 3 Pioneers (2 700's), and outside of squeaks and rattles, they have been dead reliable.

What's been the issue(s) with yours?

My 700 has done everything I've asked. I've done 1 oil change so far and upgraded skid plates after I hit a stump. 🤷‍♂️

That sucks. I have a 2007 Rincon that I bought used in 2010 and a 2014 Pioneer 700-4 I bought used in 2016. Both have been super reliable. Hopefully they get yours figured out. I'm also curious to know the issues yours is having.
