Farm UTV's.....Mule or Ranger...or other?

   / Farm UTV's.....Mule or Ranger...or other? #131  
I had a customer that was a Kawi dealer and got a good deal on mine. I got the electric/hydraulic lift for some work I did and had to put it in myself. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! First Load of wood, and it was too heavy to dump. Now it just pretty much gets used to tilt and clean out the bed.

Curious, in that picture of the loaded Mule. Could you dump that?

^ yeah he just said it dumped without any issue. Which mule model do you have?

The electric dump is no speed deamon, but it dumps without any issues.

2510 Diesel. It was a new lift kit in the box from Kawi. The reliefs just give out and it won't lift bugger all. I thought they did it intentinally to protect the bed. For one thing, they don't lift it in the middle, so twisiting could be an issue.

That is not my experience at all. I'm excited to use the tractor to put #2 and put dirt in it and dump that.

It's not fast. But it will sure be nice!

Post that video you shot of it dumping. That will settle the question.

I wonder if there could be a way to adapt a second setup of the same electric/hydraulic ram on the other side of the bed, to balance the load and double the dumping power?

With the biggest bed of any UTV, the mule pro is the most viable at being actually useful as a material hauling/dumping machine. But is it really cut out for that?

Google photos link to the video. that is totally raw and unedited footage as my wife shot at and as I was confused all get-out as to why my bed would not dump.

And then it hits me, I looked up and I realized that the log is under the headache rack.... so I climb onto the machine get the log out from under the headache rack and throw back the big log that I dumped off the bed while thinking that I needed to lighten the load.
