I live in Western Montana and have a 2019 mule pro mx with the power steering, full glass windshield, soft cab, warn plow, chains for all 4 wheels, warn 3500 winch with synthetic line. I have almost 800 miles of plowing snow, driving trails and forest service roads and working around my property dragging logs, hauling brush, dirt, rocks ect. I’m overall very impressed with this machine. Small and nimble for those steep, tight trails, and plowing tight places, but heavy and powerful enough to pull more than you think it should be able to. It also makes hunting season a lot nicer. Only issues I’ve ever had were with the accessories, and those issues were due to truly heavy duty use. Not one single issue with the actual machine, from -15f and 3 ft of snow to 100 degrees running trails at 8000 ft. It just works. My friends machines made by that polar company. Always in the shop.

[@TrailPass]

It is no doubt a great machine! Glad you're getting some good use out of yours. Thanks for watching

[@joelmartin8312]

Glad to hear this! I will be picking up a eps le edition this week and will be doing the same!!

[@wg5768]

Great review. This is a true UTV. Kawasaki didn't try to please everyone when they designed this machine. They built it rugged to last,simple and reliable, note,single cylinder engine. I want to see more videos on this machine showing maintainence, any problems and improvements if needed.

[@douglasmilne7982]

Gr8t machine

[@thepassportvisacompany9062]

Also double handed tail gate latch’s are more durable & easier to fix if the load shifts to one side or the other. Superior design to single latch.

[@ryankiernan3628]

Great video man! Definitely not enough videos of this fantastic machine. Looking at one for around the farm to clear brush, tree lines etc etc. would love to see a future review and update as you out it through more and more work.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Best PRO MX review I’ve seen. Thank you!

[@Natschke_Family_Adventures]

Thank you for making me regret the farm/wooded property and giving in to my wife for a home in a subdivision. lol That is really nice. We had an old Mule back in the day and that thing was a beast, but nowhere as nice as this!

[@farnorthpicker56]

This is my number one choice to replace our ranger. Most of it’s life would be spent working on our homestead. We ran Kawasaki mules underground at the mine. They stood up incredibly well.

[@robertromero3314]

Great video thinking on purchasing one in near future,look forward on more reviews on the MX.

[@Halenko]

Great Review - Ive just gone out and bought one from my local Kawasaki Dealer based on your review.

[@Ironsja11]

Thank you for showing us this machine. I just picked up my 2022 Mule Pro MX EPS and I really like it!

[@jamesgraves1460]

Can't wait until I can say the same!

[@Ironsja11]

@@jamesgraves1460 You will love it, it was definitely worth the wait for me. I was checking the area dealer websites daily watching for a green or camo one to come in. A green one showed up and I drove quite a ways to get it, I had them add the Kawasaki roof and camo seat covers. It's an impressive machine and it's much bigger in person!

[@jeremykangas4021]

Thanks for the review, I pick mine up tomorrow. It should be interesting as I currently own a General and XP1000 as well as a Yamaha RMAX....but I want a workhorse so I cant wait to try out Kawasaki

[@TrackinTonto]

Very informative. Thank you!

[@markmax2023]

Nice informative vid brother! Thx.

[@daviddeblaker649]

I have a 2021. Use it on my property in Oregon mostly for clearing wood on muddy steep terrain. Put a roof on mine and jumped the seatbelt safety switch as I'm often in and out of it while working. It'll pull surprisingly large logs and stumps. I have an off road trailer rated at 1500 lbs and can load the trailer and bed with log rounds and it pulls it well. I have had some fueling problems with it, twice it has stumbled then died, wouldn't start. Pulled the spark plug, it was wet and black, changed plugs and it started right up. Odd for a fuel injected 4 stroke to do that. I keep spare plugs in the glove box now. Some belt squeal from the cvt tranny but its never slipped. Simple to maintain, built like its meant to work. Dealers in my are are asking way over msrp right now. Got mine 8 months ago but had to pay just below msrp.

[@alcopower5710]

How has it held up? Have you had any more stalling issues?

[@Misajoejoe1]

Really enjoyed your review!

[@TrailPass]

Thanks for watching!

[@jakewade7388]

Really good review. Thanks. Are you still liking it two years later?

[@jerrywilder9403]

Would like to see how it does on hills at low and high speed ,great video bu the way very informative since I’m in the market for a ITV.

[@markstokes6075]

The locking rear differential is also a plus its a great machine alot of torque when running in low range .

[@falconmessenger9136]

I have Kawasaki mule pro mx 2021 i round up cattle with it and also cut lot of trees for firewood

[@nelsonberryman4515]

Good job, helped alot, thanks

[@sethro225]

Nice job on the video brother I bought the camo model and did a plow kit I’m a licensed hunting guide and we have a Xmas tree farm Been waiting since June for it to arrive at dealership. Lol I liked it has the BEST warranty on the market

[@TrailPass]

Hope your machine comes in soon. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

[@ryanhomer8558]

Great review

[@MattJones1829]

Love my green 2019 MX! I just wish I could find out how to keep the tail lights from being on all the time. I'd prefer, like a car, that they only come on when the headlights are turned on!!!

[@cordelmar]

Question: Is it possible to remove the cage tubbing to be able to store in the garage on a trailer.

[@alann816]

Great Video!

[@MultiDieselman]

I like they come with a 3 year warranty, I’m a Polaris person and I always buy extended warranty

[@triple6758]

I have a 2019. Used on terrain similar to yours with a bit more elevation. Interesting that they are now limited to 40mph. Mine will show 45 before the fuel cuts out. These are wonderful woods workhorses. It's a modern Yamaha Rhino in terms of power and capabilities other than slightly slower top end and much higher payload and towing capacity. I have mine kitted out now including heat soft door uppers and rear window with the glass windshield. My favorite accessories so far are the seat cover and the heater. It has been stone reliable since October of 2019 now showing 70 some hours with real world usage in a pretty steep environment. The engine braking is excellent. It's due to the clutch system that is used. Ride is pretty plush. Low speed is quite comfortable. Mine came std with power steering and I would recommend it on this machine. These machines impress, but not in the way most people are looking to be impressed. I'm hoping to get 10+ years from mine as I see no need to 'upgrade' in the future.

[@TrailPass]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Much of our terrain is pretty steep as well and the engine braking and power steering really help make it a relaxing ride. What seat cover did you purchase?

[@triple6758]

@@TrailPass I bought Kawasaki's in camo for some contrast. Fits is really good and feel substantial enough to protect the vinyl well. Many of my accessories are from Kawasaki because most for the aftermarket has been ignoring the MX for some reason.

[@TrailPass]

@@triple6758 ok thanks, I'll check it out! I'm not sure why this machine doesn't get much coverage. Like you said it's not super "exciting" but it does everything that we need it to do. It's a great package right from the factory and I feel the price is very reasonable. We previously had the Mule 610/SX and I can't even begin to describe how much more of an improvement that the MX is over that other machine.

[@alcopower5710]

How has it held up? Thinking about getting a new one.

[@triple6758]

@@alcopower5710 Due for 200 hours service soon. Still doing everything I ask of it. Still no regrets. She ain't very fast or particularly pretty, but it works every time I need it to. At $8999 asking price in 2019 (with eps)....it was a steal. I feel lucky.

[@thepassportvisacompany9062]

Another YT channel indicated the Halogen lights work better if outback in snow they heat up to keep snow off lenses.

[@rglock1]

Can you do a video of how you put in the back light

[@texanaggie]

if you dont mind were did you find the windshield ?

[@mpel8820]

Does the driver seat adjust for different height people?

[@petewilson8727]

The reason why you have to halogen headlights is in the winter time when it snows they put off enough heat to melt the snow while driving the LEDs are nice but they do not produce heat

[@coburninator]

very much appreciate how you focus on low speed. I want to move stuff and not tip over, zero interest or curiosity about anywhere near 30mph.

[@thomash91]

Does the engine actually run as smooth and quiet as it seems in the video?

[@rockinghorselivestock2491]

Thank you for the very helpful review video. Can you please comment on easy or difficult it is to service, change oil , oil filter, and air filter etc.?

[@TrailPass]

We haven't had to service our machine yet, but it does look very easy to do so. All of the filters seem easy to get to with the bed raised and the seat lifted up. We'll be sure to make a video when it's time to service the machine.

[@rockinghorselivestock2491]

@@TrailPass Thank you. We are considering one of these for our ranch. We need to be able to pull a two wheel bale cart that transports a 1200+ pound round hay bale. And we need to be able to do most of the service ourselves. We currently use a Yamaha Kodiak 700 EPS 4wd to do that. We are thinking the Mule might be more versatile. However, we absolutely need power steering to back the machine and cart up to the round bales.

[@TrailPass]

@@rockinghorselivestock2491 i think it could be a really great fit for what you're needing done. They also have a full size mule fx with seating for 3 on the front bench seat, larger capabilities, and more power.

[@remotetrapper8991]

This unit is the same width (60 inches)as the polaris 570 full size. Polaris claims that 3 people can fit in the full size version. Can 3 people squeeze in the pro mx. Thanks

[@ngmasson]

What’s the range of the fuel tank?

[@rickdavid1795]

Nice rig

[@clintthomas4101]

What brand windshield is that?

[@RPG-oh1yf]

Thanks for this review. I've been kicking around the idea of a Mule MX for a year now...I was comparing it to the Teryx and to the other utlity brands and it's just hard to beat this MX for rancher type work like rounding up cattle, fixing fencing and cutting firewood. Like you said, how often are you really going to need to travel over 40 mph? It's for work, not trail riding.

[@amandawolff6965]

I have one and it has been a great machine. I particularly like the size of it. I can get it into my garage safely for storage and out in the woods it maneuvers well. Can't go wrong with it.

[@nordicsprinter1255]

Do you have a pro mx with a cabin?

[@matchetman]

How would you compare the bench seat of the pro mx to that old your previous 610? I currently have a 610, but needed a little extra seating for a third person, but think the FX is too big. Thanks

[@TrailPass]

The bench seat on the MX is certainly a lot bigger, but it's still not designed for 3 people since it only has 2 seat belts. The 610 seat is very similar to golf cart size where the MX feels about a foot wider. You could fit 3 in the MX in a pinch for sure

[@Adam_Newman]

Could you cross a small creek & be fine ? I dunno probably 8in of water, we’re really considering this machine, thanks

[@TrailPass]

I would think that would be no issue as long as the water isn't moving too swiftly.

[@nordicsprinter1255]

What about the KYMCO motor that is in the Pro Mx? Is it OK?

[@TrailPass]

In our experience it has been very reliable and smooth.

[@Dean-od8he]

How noisy is it?

[@panosdel5709]

a small nice utility machine

[@TrailPass]

It sure is!

[@kyjelly5524]

Is the locker switch for the front or rear? Or are these always locked In the rear? I think I’d rather just buy a quad but it seems like people get rid of quads for side by sides.

[@RPG-oh1yf]

Not sure if the locker also locks the front end, I'm pretty sure it's just the rear though. I was about to buy a quad but if you hunt or want to take a buddy, your woman or kids with you the SxS is so much better, plus all that bed storage for your gear. It sucks having to strap down everything on a quad rack.

[@daleholmes4355]

Locker is for rear end only

[@daleholmes4355]

My wife and I bought a 2020 brand new. The locking differential is definitely for the rear only.

[@6stat664]

Hey, I just bought one of these and noticed that the fuel tank has pressure when you remove the cap, is that normal?

[@TrailPass]

They're may be some pressure build up, but not enough to shoot the cap off the threads when you loosen it. If the pressure seems excessive, the tank vent lines may be plugged.

[@6stat664]

@@TrailPass it's brand new, just picked it up last Saturday and has 2 hours on it

[@30303738]

Where did you get the windshield ?

[@TrailPass]

My dad ordered it online. It's just a cheap plexiglass version. Does OK, but would definitely recommend a scratch resistant one instead of this one

[@adamcarby2364]

I have a 2022 Mule Pro MX new off the showroom floor. Hoping you all can tell me if what I'm hearing/feeling is normal. I primarily operate mine in high gear on roads. What's happening is I hear and feel a rattle/knocking noise around 15 mph. It's not loud or overly concerning - it almost sounds like a shaft spinning in some ways. Does anyone else have this noise?

[@RPG-oh1yf]

There's a Mule Pro MX group on F-book. I saw something about that issue on there, may want to check that out. I think it is a shaft.

[@pdm1942]

I would guess there are a lot of MX owners waiting for a reply on this rattle/knocking noise thing ! I have a 2019 MX .wondering if the problem was solved. 11-8-2021 .......

[@jure1503]

What is the aproxx gas consumption per full tank?

[@TrailPass]

I don't exactly have a number for that due to how we use the machine. We haven't really trail ridden much, since we use the machine a lot for work. It spends equal time idling and crawling around.

[@jure1503]

@@TrailPass Maybe do you know how much miles do you make with full tank 9.5 galons? I would like to buy it in Europe and use it every day for 5-10 miles + trail riding. So in this way i need to know aprox the consumption... Thank you!

[@RPG-oh1yf]

@@jure1503 I would like to know this also. My folks have a 2019 SX XC mule with a 4.2 gal tank and that thing goes about 10 hours on one tank at an average speed of about 6 mph, so based on Kawasaki liking their machines to all get similar range from one tank of fuel I'm going to make the assumption that if you ride it easy, don't idle it a lot that 10 hours on a 9.5 gal tank is possible or perhaps 60-70 miles if it's non-stop. Single cylinder engines are about as efficient as you can get.

[@rockhouseoutdoors75]

Do u have eps

[@TrailPass]

This machine does and it makes a huge difference
