Honda Pioneer 1000-6 Farm tough? Or just another broken toy? You decide! 

Josh, what is the MSRP? Cool machine! Seems to meet the needs of your farm, and most other jobs it's designed for.

I just put 150 miles on our 23 Pioneer 700-4 for our farmstead and it's been a blessing. Not having to pull a hand cart with bales of hay in all the rain like we had in California this winter made it worth its weight in gold. Collecting and putting out the temp step in posts for moving the hotwire goes lickity split now too. With the 4 seat all the kiddos get to have a blast riding around on it too.

When I worked at the Motorcycle Shop back in the 70’s we always did a thorough “test drive” on any three-wheeler that came in for service. The four wheelers hadn’t hit the market yet. Try as we may, we never broke any of those three wheelers.

I appreciate this. There isn’t much information on RU-vid on this. Just media rides mainly. I am getting this unit for trail riding mainly. Thank you for this video!

What I get all the time is "why don't you just buy a Jeep?". As it turns out, I have two Wranglers and two 4x4 trucks. They are not interchangeable!! The SxS treads so much lighter and will fit places even my 2 door won't go. I never realized I needed a SxS so much until I bought one. There is a reason they have become the modern day farm truck.

Just caught this vid Josh. Them are great machines and I had a blast on our Montana Honda Pioneer trail ride! When you own land, an ATV or UTV is a MUST HAVE!! Booyah!!

Good review! I just bought one at the local cycle shop after our old Ranger 800 Crew bit the dust. It's still at the shop putting a roof on, windshield front receiver hitch and other stuff but I really like it. It's for my 240 acre farm here in Texas and I think it will do the job. Thanks for posting.

Nice info, Josh. We don’t use our UTV as much as I thought we would. I’m glad we bought used - new prices are a little crazy.

If you end up buying it from Honda and tagging it you will need that 60 mph. We drive our Can Am Defender on the road a lot. When we need to run down the road for diesel or take the trash off it's the handiest choice. I really like what they have done with this latest update.

That Honda is a nice machine, Josh. I hope you work a deal to keep it with you, my friend! Loved the cows' response at the end! Lol! Wooooo!

Great video! I grew up on my Grandfather’s 150 acre beef cattle farm in WV! In the market for a 6 seater side by side. Really like the pioneer!

Good morning Josh, that is one beautiful side by side

I want one but dont even need it. I just wanna take it for a spin in my town by the alfalfa fields and trails.

Ride Red!!! We only run Honda ATVs, some only need occasional carb cleaning and wear items. Honda also sells very convenient and cost effective “service kits” including all of the Honda oil, filters, and what you need to do your own services. In total I have 7 Honda four wheelers and a dirt bike for the family with the newest one being a 2004 Rubicon. The rest are way older but still do what they need to for the family, farm, and trails. My goal is to sell and upgrade some of the 2wd to get Honda 4wd four wheelers so we all have 4wd. Other than that the Honda Pioneer 1000-6 or the Honda Talon SxS will be my next new or newer Honda purchase. I wish there was a U.S. manufacturer that could compare to the reliability, functionality, and quality that Honda provides, but there isn’t. Having shaft drive vs belts are a major differentiator. Who wants to have to carry a spare belt with them in case one fails when miles away from civilization? Not me! I hope to start creating informative videos and experiences of our life and progress on our farm in the future. (I would not be trying to compete with Josh) Josh is an inspiration and gives me the drive to make changes. The main similarities would only be that it’s a farm, a veteran, and similar mindset when it comes to care for the animals, preserving and improving the environment. Keep on rocking it, Josh!!! 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

We use our Polaris Ranger on our 6 acres *constantly.* We find it indispensable for working on our property. It's definitely a work tool and not a toy.

Quality and versatility…plus some fun thrown in.

Modern pickups have become too loaded with bells and whistles (not to mention the exorbitant price tag) to make a no frills honest to goodness work truck to beat around in. People around where I live in rural Missouri drive their SxS's everywhere-including my small town. The savings on gasoline and not having to license them is worth it. (The ones with A/C, power steering, heaters, et cetera are the ones that make me ask why the owner didn't just buy a pickup LOL.)

Nice unit there, Josh

Out of all the stuff you showed my fav is the tie downs in the bed. I have an odes china sxs and I installed tie downs iny bed but factory ones look so much nicer.

My 2008 Honda atv is a work horse. I couldn't do near what I have to do without it! Between it and the 20kw whole house backup generator...I don't know which was the better buy!?

I'd love one of these. Looks awesome

Hey Josh thank you for the video I enjoyed it and when you go woo to the cows I do the same thing like you do that's the cow song woo and I like it

I like Honda as well- we have an atv. We are curious about the 1000. Thanks for the overview. The only thing I am disappointed about is it does not have an electric dump. I hope they make it an option!

nice machine.....kamikaze made......

The cubbies you mentioned in the tailgate are actually there in case you put a tag on the vehicle to make it street legal. You can drill the holes & attach the nuts inside there.

Pretty cool.. stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My 2009 Kawasaki Mule 4010 has been a tank. Absolute tank with that industrial 650cc motor. It is a big part of my property care and fun. Not fast. Maybe 34 mph tops. But pulls like a mule and seats 5. Also folds rear seat for additional two foot of bed. Very convenient. Alas it is nearly time for a new one. Nothing wrong with this one. 1785 hours and plenty of life left. Likely go with another mule workhorse. However I am gonna look around. Checking out Honda and Kubota. Thanks for going over machine. Looks like the right fit for SRF.

How is it getting to the oil filter?

For tough work and for the money I’d go for the Kubota X1100C. Tight cab, hydraulic lift with high capacity, heat & AC, efficient diesel, good clearance. Maybe not as fast, but fast enough for maintenance work in tough terrains.

I know Honda pays you well for these commercials but that’s not why most folks are here and they’re here for the video. Have a great day.

Great video keep them coming please

Thank you for sharing 🤗🇺🇸🏆🙏

How much did anyone pay....I got mine in December 2023 in San Diego. Curious for the cost in other states...why no one mentions ADM dealer markup. Buy used no sales tax no extra crap but also no history...

Very Nice Unit!

Look 👀 like an awesome machine

Does that have a "turf" mode in it? A lot of the higher end ATVs and UTVs have an option to unlock the rear dif for traversing finished turf.

Will it run down 30 in crop rows without running over the crop? Diesel?

I wish the beds on these utv's were a bit bigger!

Good morning Josh its awesome that you do honest reviews

One option that attracts me to the Kubota is the hydraulic dump bed because I would need to haul and dump soil, rocks.... and want to be able to dump them easily. Can you dump a heavy load with these type beds, or does it have to be done by hand or, do you need to make sure the loads heavier towards the back so the bed will tilt when released? Thanks

I'd like to see farm work done with it, cultivating, planting, mowing raking

Deli Man can't afford it. haha. You need it; you need it! I'd get a Honda 4 wheeler. Maybe my neighbor will think of me. :) But not the plan... His opinion of his, if you take care of it lasts like forever.

Cows are looking good hay❤😂🎉😮😮😅😊

Question, the 100mile initial service, did you do your valve inspection or got adjusted ? Or just replace oil and filters? Getting ready for my initial service in my 1000-6 as well. Thx

I don't have to open a rear door when opening the dump bed. Give it a try.

Howdy Josh, Dickinson,tx

I like the extra seating, but I just of something. You can't dump the bed from the driver's seat, can you.? I guess it's not a big deal. I wonder if there's a way to make that work for Honda or any of the other manual dump with extra seating.?

Wondering if the switches are backlit? The rmax and wolverines do not..

Some people have commented that heat from the engine gets into the cab and is uncomfortable in warmer weather, is that still the case? Thanks in advance.

Let miss Stoney ridge drive it

Hi..... Josh nice to see you love watching your videos homestead you are great I really enjoy watching your videos homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐕🐈🐄🐝🐠🐟🎣 🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍

I have a John Deere 620i Gator. When it runs it is a great vehicle but I am not impressed by its quality and will probably get something else when I replace it. I have always had good luck with Honda products. Owned many of their motorcycles.

Honda has made great strides to catch up in the side by side game. They’re still not the best option, in my personal opinion, but there is no doubt they‘ve always made some of the highest quality stuff.

For real bro.. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="164">2:44</a> that’s an absolute dump truck of a perfect sitter she got! Well done!!!!!!! 10/10 id risk it

The only possible issue I saw during the video is the open brake reservoir getting damaged if trail riding, maybe an upgrade to a metal tank for durability.

I can't decide between a Honda Pioneer or the Can-Am Defender Pro with the huge bed. I really wish Honda made a SxS with the bigger bed and it'd be a no-brainer for me. I'd throw money at them but am looking at the Defender Pro because I need the bigger bed for farm/construction/ranch use.

The Honda Pioneer should come with a cows horn to call in the cows with. Like the diner time pied piper of cow horns.

Does the bed have a hydraulic assist to dump when loaded? In your video it sounds like a lift gate on a mini van. Instead of the DC accessory outlet in back would be nice to have a 110 plug for a power source. Those type outlets are kinda getting extinct. since the door openers are on the inside, I'm guessing the don't have a full door kit with uppers?

👍

Have you ever used any attachments on the back or pulled anything with it?

Was hear Wooooo!

Way too much money! Used compact pickup, the way to go. Doesn't even have weather cabin, and at least a 6' bed and I own a Honda four-trax, but I m always going to my "POORLY" made 1998 DAKOTA,just seems to always start, don't see too many '98 Honda cars out there. Just my opinion, great money maker for the manufacturer, though😊PS the Dakota only had "1" payment. GO MOPAR

back to 240 lbs? 😉

Isn’t the kubota a diesel, if so it has a different drive train, hydraulic I think. Its advertised not for speed, plus how many spots on a farm is speed safe?

60 mph across the farm? Does that really make sense? That's freeway speed.

Someday.

Like your videos, This was a little too much Honda is quality. And you said the same thing about Kubota last year, I'm confused.

Everyone I know that bought a pioneer has sold it in two years or less

Hop on your horse 😂

Just needs a machine gun mount for some of these crazy people who just pop in demanding stupid thoughts of what they think are right.

I would spend $30,000 for a great UTV for off roading fun but a $3,000 beater pickup for ranch work is all I want.

Honda foreman 500?

Definitely a broken toy. Mine took a dump after 300 miles. And honda want warranty it. If you buy make sure your gonna leave it in the garage and not drive it.

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 1000-6

not impressed with mine at all. bed squeaks and at low speeds across rough ground its not a comfortable machine at all and extremely jerky. very outdated

200th viewer 👌

Way way too much of a Honda commercial. I mean how many times did they require you to say "Honda means quality"?

I have a 2018 Limited. Love the mechanics of a Honda. But, Honda is about 15 years behind the others for accessories. The heater is junk. The cab doesn't seal worth a dam. Cold air comes through the shifter holes terribly. No full windshield that folds up. Could go on about accessories. I can tell you for a fact Honda is loosing a lot of sales due to this. Guess they are too busy designing and building jets.

You make a video on anything and everything must be bored
