    We just bought the Pro MX not the LE...we have 27 acres and live stock...checking fences...it appears to be worth the money...the extras are nice...we are retired on SS income, so we will probably rig our own plexi-glass windshield ourselves...nice review and we took it out this morning...I am short (5'1") and I have to sit on edge to reach the petals...so not that comfortable for an older short lady...but it's not built for us...hubby is the one that does the outside farm work and that's fine... If hubby is down, I can drive it to do what things must get done for the animals...just not an all day driver due to my size.....
    dealer threw in the roof for us...sweet deal and drove out at 10,800.00 USD...love the regular hitch and plan to get a haul unit to take behind like you showed...we are a small homestead and this unit seems to fit our needs great! We are not youngsters that love to go high speed mudding...so extra speed was not a factor we were interested in...hubby's son wants a polaris for more speed...but it's a 1 yr warranty and more $$...but that's the young generation...us Oldsters want reliablity and getting the job we need done...thanks!

    Bought one of these two days ago. I have lots of experience and time in the seat using Kawasaki mules. You will not find a more reliable and powerful work machine....Period! Great review! Another fun fact is that Kawasaki has the best warranty hands down. 3 years. No other UTV brand will stand behind their product with this kind of warranty.

    I like that you don’t have to floor it to get the machine moving like other CVT’s that require 2000 rpm to engage.
    You barely have to push the throttle and it moves easily without the lunge of high rpm CVT transmissions like the John Deere that we tested.

  • @michaelcarter8789
    @michaelcarter8789 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I honestly think the tilt bed is for getting to the engine. The reason is because if I had a lot of wood loaded I would rather unload and stack it from the bed than bend over and pick up from the ground. Maybe with sand or gravel but with a shovel you can get a few skoops and easily get it to dump or if you are going to haul a lot of sand and stuff get the hydraulic lift.

    Nice review as always. I really like this pro Mx. That engine is from the Kymco line. Very solid engine very torquey been around a long long time. I have a Honda pioneer 500 and while I do like it a lot there’s something’s I wish were different. I had a Kymco uxv 450 it was solid well made I miss it and kinda wish I hadn’t traded. But I wanted proven long term reliability and parts availability. Kymco very underrated though. If this were out I may went that route. Honestly the only machine that really fits what I want is the midsize ranger. But I can bring myself to buy a Polaris ranger with such questionable and debatable build quality and reliability

This is why i primarily when to honda but after a couple months of ownership and getting to test drive other utv’s my honda felt like it lacked a little bit of everything. Such as; power, had some unpredictable handaling under load, was too bulky, stock tires where junk to say the least and it was far to « engine noisy » i therfore needed something smaller with similar capabilities which led me to the pro mx. So far i love it’s compact size and it is much more capable then i thought it would be. Hope this answers your questions

    Everyone needs to now that this motor will foul plugs during cold weather, only happens below 40 degrees here and a new plug will only last 5-7 days when I make daily trips around my farm doing normal chores and stuff. Kawasaki’s only answer is don’t run it for short trips, as soon as you start your motor rev it high to get it up to temp and also use low gear on short trips. I call total BS and not happy at this point.
