Picked up the new honda yesterday. Just gotta get the insurance on today then take it for a spin around town. It fits in the back of the pick up. Will take it for a ride into the cabin soon. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2024/07/full-21521-224966-dscf6107.jpg)

Pretty cheap,I know the local dealer pretty good. It was a new 2023 model so he knocked of 2g on the price from a 24 model. Its a Pioneer 520 the smallest side by side they make-perfect for my needs.

I haven't been in a new one, know several people who have the older ones, good machine, only as wide as the big fourwheelers, so they fit a lot of places the bigger side by sides don't. I don't know about the new ones, but my complaint with the older ones was that my knees hit the dash in them, if I rode around in one too long I wouldn't be able to walk when I got out. Still if I was looking for a side by side rather than a fourwheeler, that is what I would be looking at first, second would be a used Arctic Cat Wildcat Trail, same width, but like so many other models, Textron discontinued them after they took over Arctic Cat.

How much snow can they handle?
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
