    Roger.....any probs with it at all? I am really trying to decide between the Polaris and the kawasaki, and have been a bit turned off by the 6 mo warranty offered by Polaris, and some things I have read online...I really can't make up my mind on this.....

    Chad you may want to ask around to people who hunt with the mule. It seems it's weight is a problem and are always getting stuck. My cousin works for a pipeline company and the one they use is always getting stuck on the ROW's. Others I have talked to have said the same thing, that goes with the Kubota's also. Just what I'm hearing.

    The weight on the Ranger is a bit more, but the ground clearance is better on the Ranger...from what I hear, you must get a lift and bigger wheels/tires for the mule, which would put it higher than the ranger, and about the same cost wise....

    Nope, No problems at all. It is a Gator XUV with 2" lift kit and 27" Vampires. Absolutely awsome for what I want in a rig. Not the fastest of the bunch , but "true" 4x4 and will climb a tree and payload capacity it very good.............................Roger

    I don't think any of the people I talk to about the mule had a lift kit, May be your answer.

    Re: Hunting UTV's (Chad)

    chad, jmho.....we have 7 different mules when i was back home working at taconic, and each and every one was a migraine headache. not wanting to start, stalling, differentials and rears always going, rattle boxes too. i was thinking about getting one till we got 'em for work. positives, when they did run right, they would motivate. we also loaded the hell out of them things with supplies and misc. stuff and they did manage it with flying colors when running right. don't know if that was any help.
