What I Tried and What I Bought

[TWO GUNS]

hunterridgefarm,
That machine will be a good machine for you. There is a man who owns a construction company down here that has two of them, and he loves them. You made a good choice for hauling items and folks with. The trans mule will tote much !!! The RTV is a good machine also, I own one, but when you have many things to haul, the trans mule is the one !!! You will like that machine !!!!

two guns

I went for the 3010 Trans 4 Mule as well.
This thing is a real work horse on the farm. Almost as much as my Kubota L3940 tractor! I also put a hydraulic lift on the bed to make dumping a breeze, and also installed a 3000 lb Warn winch.
Nothing can stop me now

Trans Mule

I am able to haul people and tools. The engine is very quite and folding the rear seat down and expanding the bed will be great. I wanted the RTV but no matter how I looked at it and put down on paper my list of needs the mule came out on top.

I will pick it up Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. I let you know if I made the right decission after a few weeks or months use .

The Mules are very well time tested and should prove to be fantastic for you. It should be both very durable and reliable for years to come. Let us know when you add an RTV1100 with A/C to go along with it. Nothing like having the best of both worlds, huh?

Hope you enjoy yours and get as much work from it as we have from ours. Good decision!

We had a 1991 Mule 500 and just sold it and got an 08 610 Mule. I don't have any doubt that you will love it.

Thanks for the kind words. I have not had much time to post, trying to get everything in the ground so the lack of rain can kill it .

I attached a pic of the Mule arriving home. I have about 25 hours on it as of today. I know I made the right decision. I have extended the bad and loaded it down with fertilizer and seed and it does great. Once I was at the field with my son and my wife calls down on the radio to tell me some friends want to come down. I move the bed, flip the seat up and my son goes to get them.

I have not used it on trails so the 4x4 has not been used much. Low range seems to pull good and high range is about as fast as I need it on the trail going to the field. Part of my drive is very steep and with 4 people in, a couple VERY BIG it pull just fine. Now it won't do 25MPH going up the steep drive but it goes up faster than I thought it would.

I did buy a canvas top for it which helps in the hot sun. May go for the hard top later.

Dargo the RTV is in my future but I may need to go for the Cab tractor first!!
