fly Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Spent a lot of time researching the options and went with this 2019 Mule 4X4 with Fuel injection and a 5.5 X 10 foot trailer to haul it. Was going to get a Yamaha Kodiak 700 for a sale price of 6500.00 but ultimately went with the mule. Sacrificing the fun factor and paid 1000.00 more for practicality. Test driving it this weekend. Hoping it does well on the hills and creek crossings. Might end up with a small tractor but it will be a couple more years due to space limitations at my current residence. Borrowing my buddies tractor this year to get a fall food plot in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly Posted August 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Had it out on the trails today. It did what I needed it to do. I had to do a little digging at a couple creek crossings but all in all it worked well. I had a little trouble shifting from Low to reverse when at an idle - I just hit the gas a bit in low and it shifted very easily then. Seems to be normal and common for a lot of utility vehicles from what I found on an ATV forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Was reading another guy's thread on another forum about the Mule. Seems it is a love it or hate it machine. I have NO personal experience with them. The maintenance guys at one apartment complex I deliver to have had one since I started going there 14 years ago, so...………..must be some testament to the durability.

fly Posted August 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 So far so good - it really does well on the creek crossings. It's certainly isn't a speed machine and to be honest isn't much to look at. However, it does exactly what I need it to do and hopefully will do it for many years. Got my clover/mix seed from amazon this week and my field is almost ready for planting. Can't wait to see the results in a couple months. My expectations are not real high given this is the first year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
