Honda Pioneer 520-2P Side-by-Side

Compact Size. Serious Farm Capability.

The Honda Pioneer 520-2P packs genuine Side-by-Side capability into a compact, agile package that's perfectly suited to New Zealand farms.

Powered by a 518cc fuel-injected Honda engine, the Pioneer 520 combines a 5-speed automatic transmission, selectable 2WD/4WD, independent suspension and a hydraulic-assist tipping cargo bed.

With seating for two, a narrow 1,270mm overall width and plenty of carrying and towing capability, it's designed to get you, a passenger and your gear into places larger Side-by-Sides can struggle to reach.

Powerful 518cc Honda Engine

The Pioneer 520 is powered by a 518cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine, specifically tuned to produce strong low-RPM torque.

Honda's PGM-FI electronic fuel injection provides easy starting and consistent performance across changing temperatures and elevations.

The engine is mounted longitudinally in the chassis, creating a direct path through the drivetrain to help efficiently transfer power to the wheels.

Automatic Transmission – Without a Drive Belt

The Pioneer 520 uses Honda's 5-speed automatic transmission with tough steel gears.

Instead of using a conventional belt-driven CVT, Honda uses a mechanical geared transmission designed to provide direct power delivery and dependable operation.

Choose automatic mode and let the Pioneer handle the gear changes for you, or switch to manual mode when you want greater control.

Selectable 2WD & 4WD

Honda's TraxLok system allows you to select between 2WD and 4WD depending on the conditions.

Use 2WD when conditions are good for lighter steering, then engage 4WD when you need additional traction across hills, mud or slippery paddocks.

Power is delivered through direct front and rear driveshafts for a strong, straightforward drivetrain.

453kg Towing Capacity

Don't let its compact dimensions fool you.

The Pioneer 520 has a 453kg towing capacity, giving you plenty of capability for trailers, equipment and everyday jobs around the farm.

Its torquey 518cc engine, geared transmission and selectable 4WD make it a surprisingly capable little workhorse.

204kg Tipping Cargo Bed

The Pioneer 520 features a practical rear cargo bed capable of carrying up to 204kg.

An assist strut makes tipping the bed easier when it's time to unload, while the tailgate folds flat for easier access.

The bed measures approximately 983mm wide × 657mm long × 248mm high and can be divided using plywood or configured to carry common items such as milk crates and buckets.

It's also compatible with Honda's Pro-Connect accessory system, allowing you to customise the cargo area around the jobs you do.

Compact 1,270mm Width

One of the Pioneer 520's biggest advantages is its size.

At only 1,270mm wide, it's designed to fit through narrower farm tracks and access points where larger Side-by-Sides can become cumbersome.

The compact footprint also makes the Pioneer easier to transport and store.

For farmers who want Side-by-Side practicality without moving to a large utility vehicle, the Pioneer 520 hits a useful middle ground.

Seating for Two

The Pioneer 520 provides comfortable seating for a driver and one passenger, making it easy to take another person around the farm without needing a second vehicle.

Compared with a traditional ATV, the side-by-side seating position also makes getting in and out straightforward when you're regularly stopping to open gates, check stock or complete jobs.

Occupant Protection

The Pioneer 520 has been designed with a strong Occupant Protection Structure using large-diameter tubing.

Integrated handholds, hard doors and roll-up side nets help create a secure cabin environment, while automotive-style three-point seatbelts help keep the driver and passenger securely positioned.

Independent Suspension

The Pioneer 520 uses independent double-wishbone suspension front and rear.

With 147mm of front wheel travel and 150mm at the rear, each wheel can respond independently to changing terrain.

That helps provide a smoother, more controlled ride when travelling across paddocks, ruts and rough farm tracks.

Disc Brakes Front & Rear

Hydraulic disc brakes are fitted at both ends.

Dual 200mm hydraulic front discs are paired with a 170mm hydraulic rear disc, providing dependable stopping performance.

Disc brakes also run cooler and are less susceptible to debris than enclosed braking systems.

Easy-to-Read Digital Display

A large multi-function LCD display keeps important information clearly visible while you're working.

The display provides the essential information you need at a glance without unnecessary complication.

Built to Work

The Pioneer 520 might be Honda's compact Side-by-Side, but it's still designed around getting work done.

A 518cc engine, steel-geared automatic transmission, selectable 4WD, 453kg towing capacity and 204kg tipping cargo bed give you serious capability in a machine that's compact enough to access tighter areas of the farm.

For properties where a full-size Side-by-Side is simply more machine than you need, the Pioneer 520 makes a lot of sense.
