  1. i can attest, you are not winning any speed contests with a mule.....................
  2. was always told, whether true or not, that you should run regular in small, air cooled engines..............premium produces too much heat..............
  3. not familiar with this "evaporative system"...........can you share details.......out mule has been pretty reliable...............
  4. kawasaki mule with cab, rig up a heater, add plow and you are set......
  5. just went thru this with 2015 mule......seems choke was out of adjustment. which caused rich mixture, which fouled plug, which caused missing, stalling, hard starting.....................rule of thumb. keep several spare plugs and fuel filters in your tool box......this is getting to be an annual thing for me.........
  6. glad you have good luck with yours Joe..........i know a lot of folks on this site like the utv's that are meant for off road fun, that go fast......my mule is used around the house for work related stuff, so speed isn't that important............and the prices must have gone up significantly since i got mine in 2015, i didn't pay anywhere near 20 grand, including cab enclosure, winch and plow..........
  7. not recently......when i bought our mule in 2015 it was pretty pricey...........then add on accessories.........but if you saved several thousand to purchase an off brand, and it implodes in a short period of time, with no one to support it or fix it, are you really saving money......believe me,, i understand about spending the extra $$............. when i told my spouse how much i was spending on the mule, with blade, winch, cab enclosure, i got the "look".............
  8. scrap that off brand. buy a honda. kawasaki, kubota.............................
  9. 2015 mule, when shifting, the unit must be completely stopped, and engine at idle....otherwise, i get the same grinding .........
  10. 2015 mule......i run a portable generator in the bed when plowing, with a small electric heater in the cab for warmth.....to keep the windshield from fogging, i have a small 12 volt fan that directs air to the windshield.........that keeps fog at bay....for the exterior, i have no windshield wiper so i carry a squeegee to keep it clean....been using this method for several years, works like a charm.........
  11. suggestion, keep a couple sets of the plow foot pads in your garage.....i usually break one each year, and they do wear out
  12. mackc, he asked about unit running to get power to the port, that is why i responded as i did........................
  13. cliffyk, just curious.......why do you say the coleman 400 doesn't have enough power to plow snow, if a snow plow could be located?...........my mule is a 400, and it does an excellent job plowing...........
  14. mackc, do you have an enclosed cab? is your muffler in good shape? are massimo's air cooled?.............these types of utv's are never gonna be "quiet" until the do away with gas and go electric............
  15. our mule has windshield and complete cab enclosure......engine noise isn't an issue as i normally have "radio headphones" on (and engine is only single cylinder 400 cc).....as for less heat in summer, windows down and i have a 12 volt fan for air circulation.........as i mentioned before, i use portable genny and space heater for heat, plus use the fan directed toward windshield to keep "fogging" to a minimum while plowing snow..........i am not familiar with cfmoto u force, but i am sure you can "mcgyver" something..........
  16. what are you trying to accomplish.........?..............keeping warm in winter?.....if so, you will need a heat source.......i use a 2200 peak watt portable genny in bed of mule, hooked up to a 1500 watt space heater..............works great......no additional insulation
  17. can't say about hisun, but on our mule, key must be on for power port to work......
  18. is it getting fuel.....when my mule started that crap, i changed the fuel filter and it was perfect
  19. how will these mirrors work if you have a cab enclosure?......a mirror would be a nice feature, especially when plowing snow
  20. our mule did exactly the same thing, but ours was a plugged fuel filter.............new filter and some seafoam in the tank and problem was solved.................but i see you changed the fuel filter, so hope you get it fixed.........
  21. anyone out there ever install a small inverter in their mule to provide electrical power for a radio, fan, etc........thanks in advance
  22. welcome to the mule family...........love ours....................since we bought it, i added a soft top with doors, windshield, winch, and a snow plow...............also, i rigged up a 2200 watt generator in the bed to provide power for an electric heater and small fan for plowing in the winter.......as for the brake issue, we have had none........as for the power issue, you have to remember, if same engine as ours, it is only a 400 cc single cylinder, putting out only about 14 horsepower..........my zero turn has almost twice that much..............and never sell the locking differential, low range, and 4 wheel drive short................i have been in some pretty deep snow, and it has performed great everytime..............i do wish it had a windshield wiper and a rear view mirror..............best of luck to you..................ps. we have had it since 2015..........so far, no issues..........................
  23. in my kawasaki mule, i use a sam's club battery for lawn mowers.........keep it on a tender when not in use, especially in the winter months..........usually get about 3 yrs or more out of the battery.....................
  24. funny.....................
  25. while we are at it on the topic of plows, i use a moose 5 ft blade............this year, i am having an issue with the blade pads breaking off............seems they are being made cheaper................lost two of the "mushroom" ends yesterday..........i just took them off until replacements come...........................anyone else have this issue..............i am mostly plowing 2 inch snows on concrete or blacktop driveways.............
