i dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the login password. I appreciate any help you can give me.
I have this exact model and it gets beat, from haul feed for the cows to hunting elk and deer in SENM I have 460 hours and 2800 mile and have replaced the belt 1 time and it was still good. It runs through rocks and mud it is definitely not a speed demon but top speed is roughly 42mph. It gets amazing fuel mileage I get about 170-190 miles out of the tank. My 2015 rzr xp4 1000 gets about 120 miles per tank but of course it has a 1000cc instead of 812cc. If you use your machines they all will have issues at some point but if you do the recommended maintenance it will last forever.
I love all your videos man you do such a great thorough job! Can you please do a review on the Kawasaki Mule Pro-FXT? It's really a very unique SXS in that it has the capability to transform from a 6 seater to a 3 seater with a full size bed so that it retains a reasonable lenght. I think it's very trail capable while still being able to put in a days work and may be something lots of people would be interested in!! Thanks!
Thanks a lot for all the cool reviews you do Stephen. I think you cover most of all the important aspects of these utvs very well. It would be really cool to see you do a review of the Kawasaki Mule FXT 6 seater. I'm sure it would take some of that front to back bucking out and I wonder how it would handle with 6 guys!
I have a 2017 Mule Pro Diesel.Very good machine. The only bad flaw is the air cleaner inlet above the rear axle. Those engineers couldn't find a worse location. I clean the air cleaner on each fill up. A different inlet is needed.
These things do well in all terrain... but you will never get all that mud out. Been there done that. Ill never go in deep mud again after dropping all the skid plates on my teryx 4 to clean.
Yessir that is a good review,...I agree on the weird idea of no front storage bin,..really Kawasaki? I noticed that the front axle has what appears to have a 'no-slip' diff.that's a good idea as is the lockable read diff. That would be a bonus for driving on your lawn,...no grass tear up when turning. The bed has segmented walls on three sides ?? What's the use of segmented back wall,..there's no way to use divider's front to back as the tail gate has nothing!. But, that too is good as nothing will hang up in those groves when dumping. Speaking of the bed,...I agree too that the steel bed floor will need a plastic or rubber liner,..or it's going to look like a rusty and dented old anchor very soon. As it is NOT a trail/speed rider makes it a decent little 'truck' for running around the farm, or where ever. If we need a trail runner, then we would have to go to CanAm/ Polaris/ Yamaha etc. for those.
Yes Chris, I wish that Mule had this feature,...I probably would have now if it did. My Suzuki King Quad back in 1988 had a front locking diff,.. I owned one, it was a helluva machine, if only it was a larger machine! My '09 CanAm Outlander has a limited slip (known as a Viscolock system) in the front axle too.
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 The rear-seating folding down into the bed makes the Pioneer's pretty much useless for anything other than trail riding, so it's neither a true trailer blazer or a utility vehicle. The Mule's rear seat transition is much more thought out.
Would y’all do a review on just the Kawasaki Mule Pro FXT? More people would be to buy that model vs these expensive ones. I’d also like an updated review on the Mahindra Roxor with lockers
The steel bed is a flaw? No. The steel bed is awesome. In fact, every person who’s ever looked at mine says they wish theirs was made the same way. And I can deal with muddy door handles. Don’t forget your purse for the next video.
johnboy3100 nothing will break before 3 years so its useless nothing will break before 5 or 8 years. After 8 years shit will break. But mules are reliable. Very very reliable
Thank you for demonstrating the importance of wearing a crash helmet at speeds lower than walking pace :) Health and safety has now migrated into You Tube world! When will the Government regulations and interference just leave us alone to have fun and live our life.
For resale it would be better to have something like Rhino liner which won’t look worn and beat up plus it would be less slippery for cargo though it will obviously depend on what you hauling
VicJackpotRider pioneer is better off road mule is better at towing and hauling 2k lbs but i think it can tow 3k lbs all day long everyday and still not break the axle
Great video. By the way, that locker button is for the front locker; not the rear. The rear locker is always engaged. You can tell when you were going through that mud that the front was completely locked up. I love Kawasaki for their true 4 wheel drive
I had a mule fxr pro Had it for about a year and was in shop a large part of the time. Did u here him mention that the engine is China made and not a true Kawasaki engine. I don’t think I heard that and there’s a goo d reason for it. It’s a piece of crap. Traded it for a Yamaha Grizzly and love it not one issue with it. Thinking about getting the Yamaha wolverine X2 with the 850 power plant in it. So to all u Kawasaki fans out there good luck.
Head Carter I traded the Kawasaki mule pro almost 10 months ago. In the last 10 months Kawasaki has sent me a total of 5 recall letters. Each letter had at least 2 Areas of concern to be fixed. It was a 2018 so if anyone out there has one and haven’t received these letters u may want to check on it. It’s a cheri or cherry or what ever !!!!
If the engine is a gasoline 3-cyl 800cc (812cc) or a 4-cyl 1100cc (1083cc), then it's most likely the Chery engine. Chery engines are used in a few "brand name" SxS along with several off-brand SxS. That engine brand is relatively common in Asia (of course) along with Africa and South America. The John Deere 825i uses the 800cc engine. The Kawasaki Mule Pro FX uses the 800cc engine.
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 So, taking off the Chery valve cover and putting on one that says Kawasaki makes it a Kawasaki engine? Do your research. It has the same specs (bore, stroke, etc) as Chery engine.

@@zrayray3054 A few of us are starting to get together with different snowmobile clubs in the muskokas now and getting ready to present a side by side idea. The hardest part is dealing with all the private property.
For 15k this is one big pos. It doesnt tow or haul more than a pioneer. And its not any beefier in the axles or diffs. Or is it? Can u measure diameter of axles and size of diffs?
hows The transmission in that pioneer? LOL! The mile is beefier, in every aspect. If you want to go fast, get another machine. If you want reliability and something well-made, there is no better option over the mule. Period.
Clinton the trans in the 2019 pioneer is amazing and is beefier and tows and hauls more. No belts to snap. Only oil changes. Pioneer is better in everyway. Pioneer 1000 is way way beefier dude. You are insane if u think otherwise it tows and hauls more and is faster doing it. And works less hard.
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 The Pioneer is not beefier than a Mule. What are you smoking? The Pioneer is a SXS with an identity crisis... it doesn't do anything great in any category.
I'm going go agree with everyone else. You are talking out of your rear end. The pioneer is better in several categories, but far from your seemingly favorite word "beefy".
Oh look you've owned one sxs and now you're an expert in all things sxs. When did the first Honda pioneer come out? Oh that's right 2016, not even long enough to brag about. The Kawasaki mule has been around for 31 years. They have more than proven their reliability, hell they invented the sxs world. But you own a Honda so....
Good job on the review... I'm in the early stages of research on these units in both models, 2 door & crew cab... The engine is Chinese, but what isn't in today's times, sadly? I'm still researching the long term reliability on this engine as well as the CVT on these units... I'm not sure about the ground clearance on these rigs either, they appear a bit on the low side & the tires themselves look a bit smallish to me... I agree, the doors are flimsy with incorrectly mounted door handles on the outside. The short WB makes for tighter maneuvering but sacrifices riding comfort. I live in extremely steep terrain & backing up with a loaded trailer is a serious consideration for me with respect to CONTROL & on that score, there is a SAFETY concern with these side X sides... Bill on the Hill... Vermont, USA... :~)
William Farr The engine is very reliable. Same engine in the John Deere gator and others. CVT is reliable and is a proven design. Ground clearance is not great, but for a work machine that you can have some fun with on trails, it’s perfectly fine. The Mule is not a sport machine.
I have the 6 seater version of this machine and the engine braking is considerably better in low range which is really all that matters for Trailering or big hills in general. I've covered 100 miles in Pottsville PA in the Famous Reading Outdoors and I can tell you this machine can handle Anything out there except totally insane hillclimbs that only 1,000's can do.
No front diff locker. Not good just that alone is a no sale. As soon as u get in a rough spot and that one front wheel comes off the ground u will immediately only have 2 wheel drive. I have a message for all manufacturers of UTVs and ATVs STOP LEAVING THE FRONT DIFFERENTAL OPEN DAMN IT.
Haha what a waste of time putting that patch back in. For ever one that's going to watch that patch video just break off that steal cable so it not so long and use that as a plug lol
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 I had a 2016 6 person. Less than a year had a rear shock brake, seat belt buckles all rusted, you can't get to the oil filter, the 820 motor dosent have enough power for heavy hauling. Brakes were terrible in the cold, it would not stop while plowing. Mine had a full cab which was very cheap and did not keep weather out.

It's an off-road vehicle. I think the scratches in the bed would be the lease of any worries.
Facts!!! Guess he never heard of paint🤷🏻♂️
Scratches mean you’re using it for what it’s made for
Need y’all to do a review on the normal Mule pro fxt. Do more machines that aren’t crazy expensive
I like the way you do your reviews plenty of information and play not to serious.

The metal diamond plated bed really helps with getting calves out of the field
Please do a review on the Pro-FXT
The reason I would bye a mule is that there built good Quality. No one else has it.
I like the diamond plate cargo bed. A big thumbs up!!!!
Great video! Keep up the great work
You give really good reviews. Keep the videos coming. Well done sir
They probably over build it because they know people are going to over load it.
Great point about the Diamond plated bed. I would spray that with a Rhino lining coating if that were my Side X Side
Dan Conden u would make it rust if u did that
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 No you wouldn't, you just drill some drainage holes in the corners and then prep and spray the liner over top.
I have a 2017 Mule Pro Diesel.Very good machine. The only bad flaw is the air cleaner inlet above the rear axle. Those engineers couldn't find a worse location. I clean the air cleaner on each fill up. A different inlet is needed.
Show me how it plows and and winches. Thanks
I love your vids. Great presenting style.
You appear to have aftermarket Bighorn
Tires in it which will bite way better than the Duros that come stock
I have one. It’s great. West Texas , south Texas hunting rig. Works great.
i love your reviews. Could you do a review on a honda pioneer 500?
These things do well in all terrain... but you will never get all that mud out. Been there done that. Ill never go in deep mud again after dropping all the skid plates on my teryx 4 to clean.

Finally something worth the money

Great review!
I see your left arm is pressed against that hoop. Is it a hinderance? Or do they make a pad for the two of them thanks
I've just discovered TFL has other channels then TFL Car.... Loving all the content! Keep up the great work :)
No-one is interested in range or consumption in off-road?? I'd be curious about some of the SxS.
Chris York no one gives a shit. Mpg dont count
I wonder why they didn't make the seat fold up and down.
spray in bedliner great machine for work
The steel bed is a flaw? No. The steel bed is awesome. In fact, every person who’s ever looked at mine says they wish theirs was made the same way. And I can deal with muddy door handles. Don’t forget your purse for the next video.
I don't see the advantage of the steel bed over plastic.
Do you think it feels like a high end mule or a low end teryx?
I have a 2005 mule and the thing can go through anything but it throws parts a lot
Could you go over just what that 3yr warranty will actually cover????
johnboy3100 nothing will break before 3 years so its useless nothing will break before 5 or 8 years. After 8 years shit will break. But mules are reliable. Very very reliable

What is a ninch? I've never used one
Oh God forbid you scratch the bed bottom Jesus guy my truck bed looks worse than that
For resale it would be better to have something like Rhino liner which won’t look worn and beat up plus it would be less slippery for cargo though it will obviously depend on what you hauling
God i cant beleive how expensive those things are. You wont ever catch me buying one of those unless i come into some big money
supersparks wow you are very poor. I have the diesel full enclosed cab 22k and i thought it was cheap. Its called work and save.
Gsfbffx Pdhhdf that’s mean... And u said u had a pioneer. Not a diesel
If I buy one, do I have to wear the goofy helment?
Wish you would do a Stampede X review.
Where was your 12volt compressor!
How does the Kawasaki compare to the Honda pioneer?
VicJackpotRider pioneer is better off road mule is better at towing and hauling 2k lbs but i think it can tow 3k lbs all day long everyday and still not break the axle

Great video. By the way, that locker button is for the front locker; not the rear. The rear locker is always engaged. You can tell when you were going through that mud that the front was completely locked up. I love Kawasaki for their true 4 wheel drive
Locker button is for the back the front doesn't have one unfortunately
Chris Lawley untrue its fully locked 4wd full time. No 2wd
Oops I was thinking of my Teryx, not the Mule. My Teryx has a front locker so I figured the Mule would have one as well.
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 no it's not I just got rid of one and it was not full locked and would have 3 wheels spinning and one in the front doing nothing
Chris Lawley limited slip so sometimes it would spin 4 when going straight. On turns it wont
How it is compared to prowler pro?
47 HP to 38. The mule wins
Can you guys do a diesel UTV review?
I agree, I'm also interested in this model but with the diesel engine.
Kubota rtv x1100c is great
Nimrod Overpriced
Way cheaper than other brands with heat and a/c
Nimrod Cheaper? 14k for 25 mph. A ranger 570 tows as much as a kubota for 10 k
