Mule Questions

>>Check out GR manufacturing for cup holders<<

I checked it out, and it does look interesting. However, I'm a bit reluctant to drill all those holes in my hood/cowl. The other thing that's a bit irksome is they don't list any prices on the website nor do they tell you where to buy their products. I tried calling them, but got a recording. They have some interesting products, but clearly need to be schooled in the art of doing business.

My local dealer stocks GR products. I don't know about the cupholder. My 2010 came with them stock. . The owner of GR has posted on here. His user name is GR (go figure?).

Chris, I purchased the complete kit from my Kawasaki dealer and it cost about 5100.00 installed, very high quality kit and the heater works great, John

Fuel "mileage" update. At 44 miles and 11 hours the mule had used 3.5 gallons of diesel. So that's 3.14 hours per gallon and 12.57 miles per gallon. After two weeks that averages out to .50 cents a day to operate it on the farm. That's calculating diesel at $2.25 a gallon for off-road.

I think it cost more than that to charge the batteries on the golf cart I was using. I know the battery charger I used was a 17 amp charger so It was pulling 1875 watts when it was running. It would run several hours each night to recharge the batteries.

If I can operate the mule for .50 to $1.00 a day for fuel costs that will be great!!!! That's less than $400.00 a year. I spent $600.00 on new batteries and $350.00 on a used charger last year. Not counting the fact that the golf cart is sitting in my garage right now needing a $500.00 speed controller.

Electric transportation not all it's cracked up to be? Maybe you can go into business hauling fresh batteries out to stranded people in their electric cars on the highway when the charge runs down. Glad to haer the good things about the mule. I am looking for something for getting down in the woods along my fences for spraying and doing fence repair, etc.
