You have a great machine and the perfect trailer for towing it, I would like to recommend the e-track system with tire bonnets or tire wrap straps, it is the most secure way to haul expensive UTVs. Once your set up is in place, it will be quick to load and tie down. Enjoy your machine and safe rides!!!
Hello and Thank You, the E-trac is a great tie down system. The Mule has been a fun machine for me, and I use it daily on our property but once in a while it likes to see some new trails LOL.
Thanks for Watching
First thing I did after I bought my trailer was to cut the tailgate off. Built a custom wooden 6x10 inch removable board for the back of the trailer. Then bought a set of ramps. Warn winch. 2 spare tires. And the tool box from harbor freight. Both batteries fit perfectly. It would really suck trying to get one of those ATVs up on the trailer if one breaks down. Your lucky to have a winch on the front of yours. Nice video.
Good evening and Thank You, it sounds like you set your trailer up right and I agree a broken machine would be tough to load these utv's are heavier than they appear LOL. Have fun out on the trails and Thanks for Watching
Be careful Joe, I know that you guys have earned a little play time. All I have ever seen is you and the Mule working! Enjoy.
Good Morning Marty and Thank You , Our Vacation was a lot of fun , got to see the grad kids and take all of you guys on some really cool trails . I hope you enjoy the upcoming videos and ,Thanks for Watching
I am enjoying your videos. Looking at getting a mule for our family. I haul some heavy equipment, tractors, skid steer, 4 wheelers etc. If I may suggest, weld some heavy D rings on to your trailer. Use 2 short chains with snap hooks to tie each rear corner of the mule down. Make the chains the exact length you need, drive the mule on to the trailer but not all the way up. Hook up the two rear chains (to the hitch chain loops) and pull forward to tighten them. Now use two 2” heavy duty ratchet straps to cinch down each front corner, get the ones with the snap hooks. Takes
Good Morning Mark and Thank You . Thanks for the great advice I did install D rings and a couple of mods to the trailer after this trip was over . The Mule is 1900 pounds and I don't want it moving should there be a problem on the road . Thanks for Your Comment and
Thanks for Watching
I really like that trailer. My ramps are fixed and stick straight up. I feel like there costing me fuel economy with wind drag.
Good Evening and Thank You . I thought they had a great idea of being able to load from the side or the back I like it when something is made easy and practical . Thanks for Watching
Cut my ramp off on day one.
Can't wait to see the Mule out on some trails! Really like that trailer too. I have a 14000lb 20ft deckover which a little overkill for hauling our Mule..lol. A trailer like yours would make a lot more sense. Safe travels, buddy. Look forward to seeing the action!
Good Morning Josh , Wow with a trailer like yours we could haul 3 Mules and a couple of mini bikes 😁 That would be a road trip LOL . It would look good rolling down the Highway as well . Thanks for Watching
Not good practice to tie the suspension down it would much better to strap tires down and let the suspension move freely while driving down the highway!
I watch these videos and I'm amazed that people think it's okay to put all the weight ahead of the axle on the trailer, That is never a good idea and not proper loading.
What do you think happens to that cable and strap every single bump you hit when your suspension compresses?
Hey David, The Mule is a big machine to get strapped in. It is tough after riding and the suspension heats up too. Thanks for Watching
Haul Rite Utility Trailer model that you purchased? Great video. I like the way you explain and edit your videos.
Good morning and Thank You. HaulRite build's a great trailer this 6-1/2 x 12 hauls our side by side very well and the removeable siderail/ ramp is a great idea. Have a good day and
Thanks for Watching
@@AskDaddyjoe Keep up the good work. Just needed trailer model number.
And never use the hitch to secure really bad on gears
You are going to damage your winch, it is not made to hold the UTV, it brakes the gears of the winch
Another very helpful video. As I have not picked mine up yet, I have not had the opportunity to trailer it yet. Did you pull your front wheels up to the railing? As I have an FXR, shorter wheelbase, it will be different of course.
Thank you, yes, I have the front tires against the front rail, and since this video I installed D-rings in the trailer floor to help strap the Mule in better and the FXR will trailer nice for you.
Thanks for Watching
Mule to heavy for single axle trailer
Do you buy your brand new or used
Good morning. Yes we bought the Mule and the trailer new as a package and have had good luck with both. Have a great day and Thanks for Watching
Did you ride on the highway to get to your destination?
Hello, I haven't put 5 miles on the highway with this one, but if fuel prices keep rising this is my first choice LOL 😊. Thanks for Watching
@@AskDaddyjoe haha, what I mean is did you have to drive on the highway with your truck pulling the trailer with mule on it to get to your destination?
@@jaredcep😊 yes we hauled the Mule to St, Joe State Park they have 450 miles of trail riding and camping, it was a fun place to visit.
@@AskDaddyjoe with that being said, how did the windshield hold up on the mule going at highway speeds on the open trailer? Thanks 🙏🏼
@@jaredcep very well you do have to keep the folding part of the glass closed and rubber clamps around the post of the Mule, but I hand no problem with the glass staying in place
What size trailer
Good evening Brandon. This trailer is a 7x12 and a 2000-pound axle and tows the Mule with no problems. Have a good weekend and
Thanks for Watching
Really a bad job of securing your load. Suggest you check with your dealer on how to do the job correctly. You are going to kink your front cable. The strap you used is too lightweight for the load . It’s cheaper to pay from a really good strap then dealing with you load breaking loose and possibly killing someone. Not trying to be a jerk. If I saw you driving in front of me I would speed up to pass you so I would not be in harm’s way.
Never hook your winch cable or any other cable around itself, 100% NO NO. It will kink and ruin your cable and progressively loosen itself with each movement of the mule, especially when not using wheel tie down method.
All wrong
She ain’t going nowhere slap is a must.
