Testing out new Dump Bed on Mule 2510

[TvJab]

Installed a dump bed kit on my 1995 Kawasaki Mule 2510. Boy do I wish I would have done it years sooner. Well anyway here is a video with its first dump the tractor loading it is a 2017 Massey GC1705

Looks like it worked good, which dump kit did you use? I also have a 2510 that’s been a great tool

I bought a kit on amazon for $699.00 from Extreme Metal Products. It only took about 1.5 hrs to install by myself.

here is the link to it Amazon.com: P/N 12971 Kawasaki MULE 4 (2wd) and 4 (4wd) Bed Lift: Automotive

One of the few UTVs I know of where the passenger can stretch out. I love that.

My original Kawi Bed lift that I installed did not meet expectations. Filled the Bed with Elm firewood and it would not dump. I would still not like to be without it though. It's awkward to lift the bed by hand.

yes, I agree its horrible to have to lift the bed, especially the mule since the bed is solid metal compared to a lot of new ones with plastic beds.

Is your 2510 a diesel?...

Too rich for my blood. For 7 bills I can dump the bed myself. Does it open the tailgate automatically?

Actually, it's 8 bills now... When the bed is full of horse poop it's too hard to raise... We have a JD Gator 6x4 with a hydraulic lift bed for that purpose, but need the Mule for backup...

I also have a 2510 Mule. The bed is hard to lift by hand if there is really any weight on it so I generally just use my tractor loaders.

We have the 400cc mule, only hard to hand dump if the manure is soaked from rain or we fill it with DG or sand, which is rare since we have the tractor for those tasks 99% of the time.
