Pulled the trigger on a 2015 Pro FXT LE last week. Should be delivered Saturday. Loved the ride and the power and saved a ton of money over the Kubota 1140 (which is still a great machine). Changing the bed is a cinch as well as the ride is super smooth. Room for 6 is great too. The diesel is coming but its limited to 30 MPH and has less torque than the gas engine by 10 ft-lbs, so why not get a 2015 close out. 4500s Warn winch too. Should be great.

That's what I have (pic posted in #65 above). I love it, great machine, more than enough power. As you mention, the ability to go from one row to two in 30 seconds is fantastic! I leave it in one row mode almost all the time, and use it to haul stuff around our ranch in the bed. But when we have guests, I can go to two row, six person mode in no time.

I don't have a winch (no need where I am), but did have a glass windshield added. I've found myself wishing for more airflow, at least in the summer (TX, 100+ degrees). I'm sure in the winter I will appreciate it more. I'm going to figure a way to get it on & off quickly, and store it so it can't be damaged.

Enjoy!!

Great looking machine. I went with the red LE model. Folks have asked for price, so listed below is my machine. No sales tax since I purchased out of state and free delivery to my home.

Awesome! I love mine so far. Not knocking Polaris at all but this fits my needs so much better than the 900 did. It's so smooth and comfortable and also well built. It took me a while but I finally found a great deal for an LE. $13,399 OTD with no sales tax. I had one dealer quote me over 16k for the same machine, no lie. It sure pays to shop around.

Almost ready for the first 20 hour oil and trans fluid change. So far, impressions, ton of power, super quiet, buttery smooth suspension, and tons of pulling power. Excellent turning radius. Superb seat comfort. Love the LED headlights and the Warn 4500s winch has been fun to use to pull down some dead trees. Converting the bed from short to long is a cinch.

CVT is a bit noisier than I would have expected. Wish I could have had the bed sprayed with LinX as I'm not so sure I'm going to like the bed mats (not sure if the bed would open and close with a layer of LinX sprayed in there (anyone sprayed their beds, let me know). Floor mats could have been thicker rubber with sides and channels like what you'd have for a car, to catch muddy water. I'd skip those if I had to do it over. Wish it came standard with a 2" front receiver. Only real down side appears to be its width, which is causing me to have to go back to trim out some more trees in our forest trails to our hunting spots.

Just joining the ranks with our new Mule Pro FXT LE in red.

Now the fun begins to add mods !

Interested in how many have done the front diff and transaxle fluid at 20 hours ??

Congrats - looks great
I did change all my fluids at 20hrs but will say they all looked very clean!

Expect to hit the 20 hour mark in the next 2 weeks and have already done some research as to the fluids. After checking with my Kawasaki dealer and calling the Kawasaki customer line (spoke to Candy), I confirmed that even though the unit has a limited slip differential, an LS or limited slip differential gear oil is not required. A 75W90 or 80W90 GL-5 gear oil will do fine. I wanted to make sure the owner's manual hadn't accidentally left off the "LS" when it defined the gear oils to be used.

That being said, I'm going with 100% synthetic Motul 7100 4T 10W40 for the engine (JASO MA2 and API SN) and 100% synthetic Motul Gear 300 75W90 GL-5 for the front diff and trans.
