    The capability of a mule is way more than this guy tested for. I have literally never gotten a mule stuck in the mud been working with them for over 10 years. But he is right if you like to go fast on trails. This isn't the buggy for you, but if you want to get there, pack out your gear and whatever else this will do it and do it well.

    Good review. We bought a 2023 XS,FI,XC. We love it on our farm and added a bed liner, trailer hitch and roof. Work horse all day and plenty fast enough not to mention legendary reliability and the best warranty in the business. No one else has 25 years of producing a proven utility vehicle made in the USA

      Roll cage air intake on my 2024 does not have a bug screen covering the two holes. This mule is replacing a 2005 610 mule, that is still a workhorse.

    What if something goes wrong? I read reviews and watch videos all the time about Kawasaki not doing an adequate job with standing behind their products. I went round and round with them myself on two products. Issues were never resolved. 3 dealerships went out of business by me. Shady business practices. I refuse to buy any Kawasaki products myself for that very reason. Apparently, many other people are seeing issues about this. I realize every company has some type of quality control issue now and then, but how you handle those situations determines the reputation of your company, dealerships included. Average "Joe" can't afford most of their products without going into more debt, especially with financing. Q? want or need.

    My buddy has this exact machine, he runs wi th us with our ranger mid-sized, and a canamechanical special razor. It's a tough little machine. It's slow but it goes everywhere our machines go. For the price point as these have creeped up drastically in the last few years, you can buy a cfmoto uforce600 for just a few dollars more. So pick your poison and enjoy.

    The only thing missing is... the left hook! You didn't take it into the woods the way you took the Pioneer 520 a while back. Is it because the mule can't do that stuff, lack of time, or some other reason?

      Search Mule Bercomac on UA-cam. I put chains and a snowblower on mine. Works amazing. Be sure to have a trickle charger on your battery though as it does discharge when not in use. My cottage is off grid so I use a solar one and hang it vertically to keep the snow off it

      @@andrewsbbq lol you must not have had a new Honda lately. Their quality has gone way down. I had a 2020 pioneer and it was the biggest turd ever. Had multiple problems with it. Rear shocks were built wrong from the factory. So 2 weeks old and down for a month waiting on new shocks. Then at 6 months the fuel pump died. Plus it had a handful of recalls for steering and brakes. Sold it and bought a Kawasaki Teryx and haven't had 1 problem in 2.5 years and 1200 miles. Plus the fit and finish was way above Honda

      This Mule is a bit too bare bones and underpowered to be worthwhile imo. It’s an offorad golf cart.

      Well, an off road 4x4 golf cart with low-range and a dump bed for the price of a mid-range atv. A LOT of storage, VERY simple mechanicals. 2 seats vs one seat too. Any SXS you CAN afford is better than every SXS that you CAN'T. Within its capabilities it's great. It's the spiritual off road version of an original VW Beetle: low-power, Spartan simplicity, reliable, fixable. Cheap enough to be modable. There are much, MUCH more capable machines, no doubt about that. However, used appropriately it can be a good machine. Cheers.
