P1000m5 What did you add to/do with your Pioneer 1000 5 today?

[rickoshea]

You're braver than me. My state says 8 to 12 inches for a small car. 12 to 15 for a pickup. I usually wait until I see pickup trucks on the ice before I venture out on it.

fun fact,my pioneer on tracks is .88 psi down force. an average human is 16 psi.still, not a smart move on 4" of ice,but it is only 2' deep for a long way out at the #7 public boat access.

Started my electrical project, 2nd battery installed, all 2ga-4ga wires run. Will finish up the accessory wires tomorrow.
Then it sounds like I’ll be doing the same to my buddy’s pioneer 🤣

patched a couple holes in the bimini top and pulled off the front door nets.i'll put them back on when the doors come off in the spring.not much riding the last few weeks,lake isn't quite thick enough yet and the snow is iffy,and i can't get up the access roads to the snowmobile trails cuz the roads are all ice and it's sketchy pulling the honda on the trailer.

walked out to the middle of the lake today and drilled some holes. 8" of hard ice all the way across so it was doughnut time.tore it up for about an hour. 🐓 💩 neighbor wouldn't come out with his tracked maverick.had some weak a$$ excuse of having to work instead.it needs about a foot of snow on it to make it interesting.did a lot of powersliding on about 1/2" of snow over the ice.new doors worked great keeping the snow out of the cab.hopefully be the end of next week the ice will be thick enough that i can ride on it without a lifejacket under my coat.it's a little puckery on only 8".should be well over a foot by next friday as we're about to get a crazy cold snap of highs of -10.

scooted across the lake to the north side winter trails this morning after drilling holes to check the ice thickness and spent a few hours clearing trees from the trails because the lazy ass snowmobilers are too inconsiderate to clear the whole trail,not just enough for them and nobody else to get through,and breaking my chainsaw in the process.if you're going to pull out a saw to clear the trail,clear the whole damn trail.rant over.

I'm on both a snowmobile club and an ATV club. As a snowmobiler we say the same thing about ATVs as they only clear the trail enough for the ATV and not enough to get our groomer through the trails.

Added lift assist to the trailer that carries my 1000-5. Was getting really sick of lifting that heavy duty tailgate that takes much strength to lift. Now I can lift it with one finger.

fun fact.you absolutely can do cyclones on a frozen lake with tracks on your pioneer.
