2022 Can-Am Defender HD10 XT Honest Review!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 тра 2022
- We purchased the brand new 2022 Can-Am Defender HD10 XT side by side. We have had it for a few weeks and have developed a strong opinion on the machine. This video is an honest review of the side by side. We also go over all of the specs of the ATV and why we chose the Can-Am over the Polaris. We have enjoyed using this ATV on the farm for numerous projects. We have also had fun with it off roading on our dirt trails here at Collins Country. I will add that this side by side is very spacious and gives us a lot of leg room! If you're tall, buy a can-am! Let us know if you have any questions!

Great review 😁
The montage at the end was ❤️🔥
+@jayesh5131 thank you!!!😊
Best review I’ve seen yet. Thanks for being real.
+Gerry Mitchell No problem. We try to just be honest and helpful to people. Have a great weekend!
Great review, I'm actually looking at this very model now. Hauling the family Christmas tree at the end was great!! LOL
+Steve Roper Thank you! It really is a great machine. We regret not buying one sooner! We use it almost every day on our farm… And yes. We will be hauling a lot more of those family Christmas trees 😆
Great review. Thanks for posting it!
Welcome! And thank you!!! Have a great week!
Great review. I have the same machine but in Oxford blue. I love mine. I got a 72” cam am plow fir mine since I live in northeast PA. Went with a can am hard coat poly front windshield. This is a beast. Glad I went with the hd10 vs hd9. I did have 1 issue with mine. At like 50 miles I couldn’t start it. It would just click but not crank. Had it back to dealer for warrant and it was a bad starter. Other than that love this machine. I also live on a 130 acre farm and it is so useful. My wife loves it for cleaning up around our house. Thanks for sharing
+Brian S Awesome! We haven’t seen a blue one but I bet it looks awesome! We love the machine too. It’s amazing. We use it everyday. I’m glad they fixed the starter. We haven’t had any issues yet and I hope we don’t get any! Enjoy your 130 acres! I bet you live in paradise:) Been to Pennsylvania many times and love it!
Preciate the in-action segment at the end. That tree pull was impressive. I need something for tree and snow work here in the Sierras and I am pretty sure I need to go HD10…
+Harley662006 Hey there! If you’re wanting something for tree and snow removal I would go with the HD10. We have done so much work with this machine already and it hasn’t struggled at all with anything!!! And the Sierras??? That’s awesome! It’s beautiful out there!
Great video guys i just ordered one for fishing and hunting
Awesome! You will love it!
Thanks for the great review. I have just ordered one of these with the double cab. They look awesome and can handle anything. We have a large property so I love the inclusion of the winch to help us (mostly my guy since he seems to get into situations that need rescuing) get out of any tricky situations.
Awesome! You will love the machine! We really wanted the double cab, but we needed a smaller machine with a good turn radius to get everywhere on our property (especially in our woods and around trees to pull them out for our sawmill). That is why we chose the single row of seats. Anyway- Congrats on your machine. You and your guy will enjoy it! It's built tough!! What state do ya'll live in?
@@CollinsCountry We have 400acres in the Hunter Valley (NSW, Australia). We do have a 2017 Can Am defender and love it, but really wanted more grunt and more space for showing friends around.
+Faith Hynoski Oh my goodness. That is AMAZING!!!!! We have never been to Australia but it’s on the bucket list for sure!!!!!!!! We are always amazed at the people we meet from all over the world with our little UA-cam channel. Enjoy those amazing 400 acres and the new side by side. I bet your land is beautiful!!!!
Great review!
Thank you!!!
Thanks for the video! I think I made up my mind
Welcome! Glad we could help!!! This really is an awesome machine!
Thanks. Good information.
+Gene Nowell Welcome!
Excellent review and quality video. We just bought a 2023 XT HD9 after test driving it and the Honda Pioneer 1000 5. So much smoother and ergonomic, but yes the power steering squeal is noticeable. Does this fade or get worse over time, or do you just tune it out eventually? Thanks for the great content, best video on this model I’ve found yet.
It’s funny you ask. I don’t notice the squealing at all anymore. I’m not sure if I got used to it or it’s not there. I’ll pay attention to it tomorrow when I drive it. lol thanks for the kind words. Enjoy your sidexside
I'm looking at the xt hd9. I'd like that you explain the differences in trim or models. That was helpful. Like to get a windshield and half doors. Possibly a rear window as well. That tailgate rated at 250 lbs that raises questions though.
+Joe Ellis Glad we could help! We had trouble finding these details and specific review information when we were looking to buy a side by side, so we though we would share it with other people. Honestly, we don’t like how cheap the tailgate feels but the rest of the machine is built so well that it doesn’t bother us. We have loaded the back with rocks and dirt, etc. the tailgate hasn’t been an issue… But if a nicer, stronger tailgate is available we will probably update it. We just haven’t found one yet… Good luck on your hunt for an awesome machine.
How do you find the under carriage to hold up? We had a kubota and it was too small so we were always replacing bushings. We just bought and defender xt hd10 at auction. Low miles. Crossing our fingers it hangs together. We farm and will put about 5000 miles on a year.
Great Review!! I have two questions that I consider with every possible side-by-side UTV purchase. Noise Level & Engine Heat Shielding. Can you carry on a conversation with the passenger? And is there enough heat shielding to prevent a hot seat and hot cab area? The way the seat folds up on this model, I don't think a hot seat would be a problem, but what about behind the seat? Thanks
Thanks for watching our review. I still really love this sxs. Noise level is not bad considering the engine is right behind you in the cab. I can easily carry on conversation with the wife and kids. Honestly it did surprise me how quiet it is. I was expecting it to be louder. That being said, if you have the bed of the side-by-side in the dump position, it is really loud. As far as the heat is concerned there are zero issues. Seats do not heat up at all. If anything heats up it’s the dump bed. Hope this helps.
Nice video. Did you ever try measure top speed ? Any steering wheel wobbling/shaking at high speeds?
I have never had it on real straight stretch to be able to measure top speed. I have had it up to 54 MPH and handling felt great.
I love my 2022 HD10 XT. However, that tailgate is flimsy. So are the plastic brackets the dump bed tilts on and those are the only place to mount a rear bumper. Adjusting the shock preload is easy. Plenty of power.
I thought I wanted a Honda Pioneer 1000, but the Can-Am seating position is a million times more comfortable for me. Oh and those side bolsters on the XT seats are very nice if you do any technical riding.
+ChipsterB Same! We love ours. It’s a nice machine but we definitely wish the tailgate was much stronger! It is roomy though and we haven’t taken it technically riding yet but we will:) So far we have just been using it in our farm…
Nice machine brother
+Light of God in Darkness Thank you! It is a nice machine. We love our sawmill!
It looks like it's really nice
+dixiecuddles fitness Thank you!!! It is!!! We should have bought it sooner but we are glad we have it now:)
I bet
i have a crew like it its great
+Larry Smith Good for you! It really is awesome!
Nice machine. I'm 6'1" and have a dad bod so the tilt steering is a positive. Lol
+Tom Keltesch & Everything Outdoors 😂 So do I, Tom. My dad bod loves the tilt steering!
Does it start while in gear or do you have to put it in park? Thanks
Good video!
You can start it in any gear as long as the brake is held in. Otherwise just in park.
Nice bit of gear. How many acres have you guys got?
+Build Grow Play Thanks! We have 60
acres in Kentucky…
@@CollinsCountry that's a good manageable amount
They make a 2 gun gun rack that mounts under the center seat on the hd10
+1st string CAN KICKER That’s awesome!!!! We need to buy that!!!
Hi,we have a series of UTV and ATV ,Truck and Jeep aftermarket accessories, now we are looking for some people to evaluate the can am defender led turn signal DRL lights , are you interested?
+summer lee Hello there! Sounds like something we would be interested in:) Send us an email with all of the information to our email at collinscountry13@gmail.com. Hopefully we can collaborate and test out the product(s)! Thanks!
How are the tires vs the turf? Do they rip up the lawn?
In 4WD they do tear up the lawn if not careful. Otherwise not bad. Obviously if it’s wet out you can tear the lawn up worse. I never notice anything here unless it’s winter. We have wet snows and rains and I typically tear up lawn in a few spot.
I just bought mines like 3 days ago. Do windshield come separately ? Doors as well ?
Yes. We bought ours separately
Is it the exact same as the xt hd9 as far as interior room?
Yes. The size specs are the same just different motor And HP
did you compare this to the sidekick 850 from Kubota?is it as fast
I did not compare it to the sidekick. I do love kubota products but…. My brother has the diesel side by side and I hated it enough to just not even give it a thought. Lol
Makes me want to upgrade from my honda pioneer 700, very nice looking machine
+Dusty Bowhunter Do it! It’s worth the money… But I bet your Honda 700 is nice!!!!
Can the sway bar be taken off?
What bar are you referring to?
Suspension sway bar for further travel to loosen suspension climbing rocks
@@cankicker6570 yes this can be removed for further travel.
@@CollinsCountry thank you for taking the time to answer my question
I wish mine would get here, I’m 58 wife says I’m like a 5 year old waiting for Christmas.
Oh man... Your excitement is going to be justified! I hope you enjoy yours as much as we do ours. We love it!
I looked at Polaris too.. but I went with the same as you... just waiting n waiting for delivery!!! Your video help lots... thanx
Seats in the bed for kids... 🙁
Other than that does the center of the hood raise up for access to anything?
+Road Dog Hey! We do want seats in the back for the kids. They are removable. It will be nice… Anyway- The front hood of the side-by-side is removable and there is small storage space there and I believe the bottle for the coolant in the radiator but that’s about it. The engine is underneath the bed of the side-by-side. The battery is located underneath the passenger seat. I hope that helps!
Can this be made street legal in Alabama
I don’t believe so. From quick google search looks like only can be used on roads if used for farming purposes. You could probably put a slow moving vehicle sign on the vehicle and get by with that.
How fast is it ??
I have had it up to 56 in a short span. Roads are too curvy to get going too fast.
@@CollinsCountry I’m wanting one I can ride on the road too, that’s why I asked, doing my homework before I drop the $$$ on one, but once cry once…
@@Hemi878 I understand that. I researched a lot as well.
I have a 2021 hd10 limited. It's not quick. But it's fast. I live in Southern New Mexico. Its road legal. I run 30" tires. Top speed at 6500 rpm 68 mph. It will cruces all day at 60. I use mine like another vehicle. Except one thing to be aware of . The cost of maintenance. And how frequently of maintenance. I have over 8 thousand miles on mine and don't plan on getting rid of it. Great machine!
Are you interested in product testing? We'd like to invite you to test the UTV cover.
+UBUY MOTOR Hello there! That sounds like something we would be interested in. Please email us at collinscountry13@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
@@CollinsCountry We have sent the message to you, please check your mail.
Please check your mail, we are waiting for your reply.
Trade it in for Honda pioneer 1000 6....
+Red Blue40RC We looked at all of our options, including Honda. Those are really nice but ultimately the Can Am was more of what we were looking for.
