P500 What did you do to/with your Pioneer 500 today?

[HUCK]

Same thing, you taped that off?

Nope thats toooo hard . Sprayed the paint in a small container then applied it to p5 with a #3 paint brush . Turned out very well and took minutes rather than hours .

Very cool, I'll give it a go sometime.

Took it out for a night ride around the property.
LED light bulbs in headlights were surprisingly brighter than I thought they'd be,
especially with the snake eye covers. Pods and bars turn it into daytime. Fun ride!

Started clearing my property in Pioneer TN for construction with the P500 and a Swisher 52" trailcutter mower this thing will eat some saplings now.

The setup :

Underbrush before, can't see anything :

Looking good! I hope that your relocation is stress free. BTW, has anyone heard from @bobbyhill lately? Hope his move to the Eastern Seaboard went well.

I've been shopping all summer for a used pull-behind brush cutter.... Expensive litter buggers. I've got about 4 acres that needs knocked down every month or so and I feel like it would be much more fun doing it with the P5.

 

[rubicon05]

I assume that is a rough cut mower and not the finish mower....I have a 60" swisher finish mower but want a rough cut mower instead...

Yes it is a 52" rough cut mower. It is set for approximately 6" cut height for handling brush and saplings. Pretty impressed with how it ate the taller saplings about 8ft high.

Sorry if you already mentioned it somewhere else before, but what LED's did you use and where did you get them, and, what was installation like. Oh, and one more thing, is mama getting concerned with how much you're investing in your ride lol?

Ha ha...yeah I've heard a little chirpin' the last few months. She knows how I am though, did the same thing with the truck...go ape sh** til I get it the way I want it, then I'm done. Gotta make it mine and unique.
I did post it somewhere, JDMaster 880 if I remember right. Got them off Amazon. They were super easy to install, just plug and play. I read alot of bad reviews on here about LED bulbs but I don't think these are bad at all.
And what about you, Mr. Two Battery set up? That Wasp is lookin' pretty fancy!

Right, I had read so many bad reviews that I had basically abandoned the idea of LED's for the OEM headlights, but after yours I will reconsider. I'm so DONE with the major expensive mods. The LED's, the front skid plate of some fashion and I'm still toying with ideas for storage in the cab, but none of that is that costly in money, but time. Thankfully, mama has been on board with all the mods, in fact it was her idea to get the 4 Franklin sound bar, she wanted the roof and windshield as well as the glovebox. The dual batteries she was indifferent about, but only because she doesn't understand all that.

Women are funny, they don't know they want something until they get it.
When I put my Magna Flow exhaust on the truck I told the wife 'jump in, lets go for a ride'.
When I started it she said 'you went and made it loud' with a disgusted tone.
As soon as I hit 3 or 4 grand on the tach she said 'ooo that sounds cool'!
Now I tell her to complain AFTER I do it!

I never tell the spousal unit what I paid for something, I google the item, find the highest price then find the lowest price buy the lower priced one then tell her how much I saved. Total cost is never brought up just total savings.

Sounds a little sneaky, but effective I suppose.

Drove few trails today near Kings hills area. Also decided to try new way of strapping. Just across. Worked very well.

[solrus]

Lock manual brake (this will lock from moving forward). Let it be in Reverse (locks rear wheels from going backwards). And strap across from bouncing.

You picked a good place to stop, that's for sure!
The strap placement is a great idea, I'll use that if you don't mind.
Trailer looks like it was built for your P5, very cool.
What is that on the passenger side firewall? Looks like a heater...
if so, how well does it work?

 

[Montecresto]

The terrain in those pics looks totally different than most of the pics you've posted. How far did you have to trailer to get to the Kings Hills? Like trigger said, good place to stop. I always put it in reverse when stopping at cliff edges, I've jumped in before and stomped the gas thinking I was in reverse. That strapping method is good, I usually strap twice just in case of failure. Btw solrus, did you u-bolt your skids at the outside of the frame, and if so how'd you protect the nuts on the bottom?
