Kawasaki's New Mule Pro MX?

[Milo]

.....So you all have the "Cherry" gas engine from China rather than the Japan sourced Yanmar diesel. I understand that the Cherry is a small car engine over on the other side of the globe and also I see that John Deere uses this same Cherry engine in the Gator series.

I went diesel because I am typically under 12 mph on my tight/twisty/steep property, but would that Cherry engine lug around well on steep hills and 6-8 mph with a couple thousand pounds behind the machine? Dang..... maybe I should reconsider this diesel..... The Cherry gas engine version goes what, 45 or 50 MPH out on the street?

The 3 cylinder gas engines are made in China by Chery. The 650cc single engine in the Mule Pro MX is manufactured in Taiwan by Kymco which was started by Honda. Kymco supplies engines for some of the major manufacturers as well as making their own motorcycles, scooters, UTV's, etc.

I've not driven a Mule diesel but I'll say the 650 cc engine really works well in the Mule MX. Plenty of power and torque yet much smoother and quieter than my previous Polaris Ranger which used a 500cc single. The MX seems equally at home crawling around on my trails at 4-5 mph as well as running 40+ when appropriate.

I have the gas Chery in ours and really like it. Gets great "mileage", never had a problem pulling anything - ALWAYS have run out of traction long before power. Now 45mph is optimistic - I know they say it will do 45 but around here with our hills, even on the road I don't know if I ever got to 45. 35 maybe 40mph is more realistic.
We bought our 10/2014 and have about 1000 miles on it. Normally just running around here and often very short trip with some BIG loads, (sometimes a trail ride of a few miles but a LOT of use around the house)so it is not easy miles and NOTHING has broke so I'm pleased.

Have any of you Mule owners found an active UTV/Mule forum?

I've looked and anything I've found is very inactive with very few posts (if any) showing up from 2019.

Is there a Tractor By Net like forum for us Mule owners....?

Never really found one - doesn't seem to have the following for whatever reason. Unfortunatally I have always had to search long and far to find any useful information.

That sux. I really like the collective intellect of a forum.

Same here - I find forums to provide far more useful information and options than about any other source on the net.
