I love my mule. I have a two seat 500X2 polaris, but for around the farm I wouldn't take anything for my mule. My only complaint is that I feel the rear springs are not stout enough. I see that they made some heavy duty springs, but the price is like $76 apiece, which is rather high. But, I want them, so guess I'll order them and see how much it helps out.

My cousins came over and we put five adults, and five kids in it. haha I wonder if that had anything to do with my springs going a little week. I was bragging on the machine, so didn't want to say anything when they all started crawling in and sitting on each others laps.

I took it four wheeling with them, and went everywhere they went, but the trees kept hanging on the roof during tight squeezes.

Seriously though, I really love this machine and consider it "for the money" the best utility vehicle out there.

 

we have several Mules at the railroad diesel shop where i work. we have over loaded those things worse than that and never had any problems. these may have the heavy springs from the dealer, but i doubt it. anyway i don't think you hurt it a bit. very reliable work horses. wish i had one.

Thanks for the info on springs pro rider. Maybe I didn't hurt it and it is my imagination.

 

You cant kill those mules. We sell a lot of mules, mainly the 3010's. Only probs we have are user errors, especially the big companies that use them around the job site. They dont know how to use them and they jam them in gear while moving or givin it gas. Other than that, bullet proof. They finally came out with a full cab for the trans 4x4! Looks sweet. And Kawi is supposedly makin a mule to compete with the rhino. I'm waiting for that! I'll keep yall posted.
