The one thing you can count on, it's not IF they break down, it's WHEN. My main concern when purchasing anything mechanical is "Are parts readily available and can i get a service manual/ or support from the company. Personally, i would go with the honda, because i know the name and other quality machines they make.

From what i've been reading on other forums about the Pro FXT, they're well worth the wait.

Got it figured out, she has an arena drag with electric cylinder on it that she pulls behind it, the controller box on the Kubota for it was burnt up and shorting to ground. on a side note, I will now NEVER buy a kubota UTV.... Customer service at the Dealer and Kubotausa.com is horrible. I'll take my mule over them any day.

looking back at that picture again, it looks like someone put 3 allen head bolts in it. then above you can see a regular Hex head, weird. you might check to be sure they're tight.

Welcome to the UTV Board! Where's the oil leaking from? Maybe a post picture. we'll be glad to try and help you out.

since they didn't use a gasket most likely they used a RTV sealant (liquid gasket) The only solution i can think of is to take it apart, clean both gasket surfaces with brake clean and Rubbing alcohol works good at removing that stuff. and a razor blade is good for scraping paper or RTV gasket off. I prefer to use Permatex Ultra black sealer. good up to 500 degrees F, https://www.permatex.com/products/gasketing/ultra-series-gasket-makers/permatex-ultra-black-maximum-oil-resistance-rtv-silicone-gasket-maker-4/ And for any surface that comes in contact with Gear oil i use https://www.permatex.com/products/gasketing/gasket-makers/permatex-gear-oil-rtv-gasket-maker/?locale=en_us

Me and my dad working on a neighbors RTV900, battery tested bad by autozone, replaced. next day the new battery was dead. So something has to be draining it.. We noticed when we set the multimeter to continuity (buzzer) and with the battery removed, if we touch one lead to the + wire, and the other lead of the tester to ground/bolt on frame and i turned the key switch to battery ON position we got continuity from the positive wire to the frame... bad key switch?

I did some reading on Warns website and they said that a 3000 pound winch draws around 198 Amps AT 3,000 pounds. I highly doubt i'll be pulling that much, i guess the accessory wires should be able to handle enough load amperage wise? According to the wiring diagram there is a 20 Amp fuse protecting the accessory wiring. I don't know if i'm overthinking or what. Electricity isn't exactly my strong point. EDIT After Youtube-ing some videos, i guess the best bet is do a set up similar to this straight from the battery, https://www.amazon.com/Winch-Upgrade-Contactor-Switch-Wires/dp/B076F9XTGY/ref=sr_1_13?dchild=1&keywords=UTV+winch+wire+kit&qid=1599529196&sr=8-13 The only task the battery has now is starting the mule. and other than that it's being charged by the stator. Probably just ought to be sure the mule is idling while i use the winch.

Might try here, https://www.performance670.com If not you ought to try and get in touch with the YouTuber RedBeardsGarage, Or, Cars and Camera's .They're the brain to pick on all the predator engines.

It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to do donuts in your neighbor's yard, that's the time to do it

here is the size wire of the electrical accessory hook up,

Warn 3,000 lbs, 3.0 ci didn't see any other numbers on it.

I can't recall right off the top of my head, I'll have to go look at it.

Glad to hear it! Good luck!

I can't remember off the top of my head, I'll look through my manual.

I believe its 59302 in the bottom right corner, appears to be splined. I took mine apart awhile back and my manual explained it very clearly. Though our two drive clutches are designed differently . But i think you're next best bet is going to be a service manual https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=mule+2500+service+manual&_sacat=0

My uncle has a Warn winch he used to have On his gas Yamaha golf cart, he said I could have it if I wanted it, I'm just not quite sure how to hook it up, wiring wise. I have no other electrical accessories that are tasking the alternator (15 amp) And I can still buy the OEM winch mount or fabricate one myself. The mule has 2 electrical accessories hook ups, but it's a fairly small wire, not sure if could handle the load.. I even though about welding up a plate as there is plenty of room to mount another battery for the winch only either under the bed or under the front dash/firewall. And using a deep cycle battery and keep it on a tender. A winch would come in handy for moving larger limbs or stumps or sections of a tree when I'm by myself. Any info how to proceed is appreciated. As most of you know, Mule 550, ksf300-c5.

check your oil level, be sure it isn't over the fill mark, or smells like gasoline.

Welcome!! I don't know much about the 4010, but the next best step is to get a Service manual. They're worth their weight in gold. here's 2, https://www.ebay.com/itm/Kawasaki-Service-Manual-Mule-4000-4000-Trans-Mule-4010-4010-Trans-2009-2020/313087423908?fits=Year:2012&hash=item48e576f5a4:g:XmEAAOSwGhBdXqGA&redirect=mobile www.ebay.com/Kawasaki-mule -4010-service -manual

if the alternator is not in plain view/belt driven, most likely there are copper windings behind the flywheel that produce current for charging.

Ah, you've got a good point there.... It seems to me I wouldn't want any wear particles being pushed back into bearing surfaces, only clean oil,... I guess the Engineers at Massimo know better than me.

I would think ,with that motor not having a filter, using a non detergent oil would be better, detergent oil holds the particles in suspension in the oil until it gets filtered out, usually engine's with out filters use a non detergent so the sediment and junk settled in the bottom of the oil pan/sump. Thoughts?

I see that the 700 has an Idle Air control valve...could be that, it happened on our car onetime, wouldn't idle,. i would locate it and see if there is way to test it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Idle-Air-Control-Valve-IAC-Delphi-Sensor-For-HiSUN-400-500-700-800-1000-UTV-/363085163926

Is the engine surging? RPM's Raise and Lower quickly?

One thing i forgot to mention. i saw alot of people mention to stay away from the Orange Dexcool coolant, specifically when using in ATV's or other small equipment.
