Tilt Bed

Measuring 98.3cm wide, 65.8cm long and 25cm high, the Pioneer’s super-convenient tilt bed can carry up to a hulking 204kg. The  bed has convenient slots that you can use to insert a divider, useful for separating loads. Plus, an assist strut and tailgate that opens flat make tipping easy.

TOWING

Small but mighty – despite it’s compact size, the Pioneer 520 features a heavy- duty receiver-style hitch giving it an impressive 454kg towing capacity. Making it great for towing tools around the farm, or carrying equipment across a landscape.

Independent Suspension

Fully independent double-wishbone suspension all round means you get a smooth ride, even over rough terrain.

Side-By-Side Seating

Durability doesn’t mean compromising on comfort. The Pioneer 520 offers bench-style seating, individual backrests and seatbelts for both driver and passenger. And with front opening doors, it’s easy to hop in and out.
