- Here's an overview of my green 2022 Kawasaki Mule Pro MX EPS. I've included my likes, dislikes, pros, and cons. Why did I choose the Mule over the Polaris Ranger SP 570 and the Kubota RTV-XG850 Sidekick? Mostly, it was due to the size of the PRO MX. Also, it was in stock.

I've had this exact model since 2019 and despite the limited leg room for a tall dude like me, I love it. 5 years on I'm just learning about the 2x4 spacers in the bed 🤦🏼♂️ thanks Ed!
Awesome! I agree. I got some good shots just yesterday. Check it out! czcams.com/video/7ochk9AVftM/video.htmlsi=isW1kj2B8F7-e1UK
I have one myself and I love it a lot! Bit noisy and warm in summer but I can’t miss
my Pro MX anymore 👍😉💪❤️
That looks like a really nice machine! It looks like a good size for working around a property. Having a side by side on the property is a game changer! We bought one last summer and will never be without one again! That was a very nicely done, thorough review! Nice work!
We had a golf cart before this and used it pretty much every day. They are indeed a game changer! Thanks so much!
Very well built Ed. You made a good choice.
Good review nice machine. Glad to see someone actually sit on the tailgate and advertise how strong it really is good job
Thanks very much CCV!
Great demonstration of the Mule! Looks like a great choice! Congratulations!
Thanks Arne!
So glad you opted for a gas engine and not an electric. Great review.
I watch your videos and enjoy your attitude towards DIY projects.
Thank you, William. The electric ones certainly have their place. Heck, they may even be better for all I know. But for now, I’m still a gas-and-go kinda guy 😄
Thanks for the review video. I'm planning on buying the MX eps myself very soon.
Thanks for watching, Michael. Good luck!
Thanks for this thorough review! So many to UTVs to pick from but I'm leaning towards the Mule.
I’m still very happy with it. No issues.
Nice video Ed.. I have one of these, the SE model, and I love it.. I like the strobes you installed, I need to buy four and install on my rig.. Have a nice week!!.. Like the KAWASAKI slogan says; "Let the good times roll."
Thanks Terry! I almost got the SE but I was kind of fixated on the green one. Great machine!
When I worked at the mine up until a couple of years ago, they had 2 side by sides that they used. Kubota and Kawasaki. When we went to Colorado on vacation and hit the Jeep trails, the mines used 2 vehicles. Kubota and Kawasaki. There has to be a reason that these 2 are the first choice. It appears to be a slug out between these 2.
Great review Ed. Truly enjoyed it.
Thanks Gary. I love your annual ATV/UTV adventure. No such opportunities here in NJ!
What a great review Ed! So helpful...thinking about getting myself one...
Thanks Lee! I'm really happy with it. I do sure wish there was inventory in show rooms to compare with!
Picking up mine tomorrow! Thanks for the video 👌🏻
Congrats! Enjoy!
Always enjoy tagging along with you, even though have no interest in a Mule. Thanks for the nice video!
Thanks Terry. Much appreciated!
Congrats on the new utv, it's a beauty.
Thanks much!
Great video, explanative, but not overly chatty. A+
Thank you. Much appreciated. -Ed
Looks like a very useful vehicle Ed. I like how you left that little blooper in the video
Thank you, Bryan. Much appreciated. Keeping it real 😄
Hi Eddie, you do a thorough presentation...I think I want to buy it NOW!!! I do like the tool latch you showed. I was happy to see you wearing a seat belt while jumping the driveway...AGAIN! Your mom is smiling down watching you "be the fool".
Haha, thank you Margaret. I’m not sure if she’s smiling. 40 years ago she would yell at me for doing that. 😄
Excellent review. Have one on order and you explained alot of things i was curious about. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! You'll love it!
Nice job Ed😁👍 Like most of your videos it was very informative and grabbed your attention the whole way through. I to like the parking brake. And the jump reminded me of your old green Datsun🤣Thanks for the video🚜💨🍳
It all started with the Datsun, Mitch!
Thank You for this Video. I'm buying one today..
Thank you. Enjoy!
Got the exact same Mule, had it for 10 months and 600 miles now. It's an awesome little beast that works as hard as it plays. We love it and they are rare enough people always ask us about it and want to look it over.
Same it is the best mule ever!
Irons have you ever had any problems with it? I’m thinking of grabbing one, little scared though I’ve never had a kawi before, always Honda
@@JohnDmohawk Zero problems with just over 850 miles now, and it's a Mule so it has a 3 year warranty.
Nice addition to your place ED, enjoy it and let the misses use it also.
Thank you, Bob!
The Halogen lights are good in snow because they will heat up and help melt snow off the lights. The LED lights do not produce enough heat to be effective with snow and ice but are good for night driving when snow is not an issue.
Great review. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Jeff. I hope you’re doing well! -Ed
Great review Ed...now I want one! My assumption on the two different types of headlights is possibly related to winter usage...the halogen bulbs will get hot, ergo snow and ice will not accumulate, where the LEDs have no heat and can become covered with snow. That's my hypothesis anyway! As always, tons of great shots and an excellent edit. Love the music and the throwback to you old Datsun (Toyota/Luv?) truck video!
Thanks Chris. You’re a good thinker! 😄
@@MyClutteredGarage Oh, so you could you see the smoke?
Ed you're gonna cost me money, I was thinking golf cart, but now you've made a case for a side by side. Momma bear is gonna be upset with you. Lol Great review. Have a great weekend! 🍻🇨🇦🇺🇸👍
Haha, thanks Mark. We love our golf cart, but there are times I just need more capability. I'm really torn between keeping it and selling it, but the fact is it would cover about 1/3 of the cost of the Mule! 🤷🏻♂️
It looks like a nice vehicle. I like the bench seat and the way it’s easy to get in and out of. To me these features are needed for these vehicles. We have a Clubcar Carryall 295 which is similar in a lot of ways. It does not have many of features the Kawasaki has. The main point of differentiation is our Clubcar is powered by a 3 cylinder Kubota Diesel engine.
I have a club car DS golf cart too. Which is basically the same as the carry all. It’s easier to get in and out and roomier than the mule. I love it but needed more power and 4 wheel drive. For now, I’m keeping both vehicles. 😄
Thanks for sharing great information
Very thoroughly review. But, watch that tailgate. I recently learned from a wise man to put the tailgate up when towing something!
Haha! Indeed!!!
I have one of those have mine for around 15 to 16 months have over 300 hours and 3,200 miles it is a wonderful machine use it all the time I'm going to be purchasing a second machine just like it
Thanks Pete. I’m really happy with it too!
Very nice Ed. I like the tool clamps you added. I’ve never seen those before. I need a utv. I thought I’d be smart and buy an old lifted golf cart. It’s been in the shop for 6 months waiting on parts. Not so smart. 😂
Thanks Adam. We bought this to replace our old lifted golf cart - which I still love. I haven’t put it up for sale yet.
The seemingly unused space on the dash is for the heater vent location for windshield defrost. Dead pedal is Nice for going down steep hills. Nice review. I bought mine in 2019. Gambled on a 'beta' model. So far no regrets.
Good to hear T675. Thanks very much! Short time here, but no regrets either. -Ed
Great review. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Fun video! Cheers 🍻
Thanks much!
Great review!
Thanks very much!
Fantastic review, and congrats on a great vehicle.
Thanks Ross! I know you are happy with your Mule too!
@@MyClutteredGarage very happy.
Love the color !
Thanks Phil. I drove 3 hours to get that color!
Very nice review
Great info! I bought a unit identical to yours in October 2019. I wholeheartedly agree that the green decals on the doors are a huge disappointment. Mine have big bubbles in them. I'll probably get my heat gun out and try to "fix" the issue. If I fail, then I'll simply remove them. My other pet peeve is the taillights are on all the time...I can't stand this feature. I'd love if they only came on when I turned the headlights on. And finally, the two inch receiver hitch on mine gets narrower the further you go into the opening. Needless to say getting a draw bar in and out can be challenging. Other than that, I love its size and features!
Hi Matt. I actually peeled the door decals off already. I kind of like it better. I don’t mind the tail lights, but I bet a skilled person could reword them the way you like. And my receiver does not have that problem. I’m sure that’s frustrating. Maybe it will wear in. Thanks for watching and for your comments! -Ed
Loved it. Thanks
Thank you!
Hey Ed that's a nice utv. I have been wanting one of these, I'll have to check em out. Thanks for the review buddy. I'm kinda old school and don't need or want all the bells and whistles.
Thanks Dean. The only “bell and whistle” that I was set on was power steering. 👍
@@MyClutteredGarage I would definitely want that too.
Great video, thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Great video!!
Thanks very much!
I like the 2 latch tailgate.Much sturdier will last forever.
Great review 👍
Thank you!
Good video buddy thank ya
Thank you!
Nice machine Ed!
Thanks Paul!
Hi Ed! That’s a very impressive machine you have there! It’s obvious that you put a lot of thought into choosing the right UTV for your needs. Thanks for a comprehensive review of the good and the not-so-good of the Mule.
Thanks Martin. I sure would love to compare your Polaris EV. I bet it’s really nice and quiet!
@@MyClutteredGarage You can compare them, Ed. Just watch my review video of the Ranger EV. You’ll find it in the Ranger EV playlist. And yes, it is very quite, which was a key selling point for us.
Good day Ed, you are craaaaaaaaazy man jumping the road like you did maaaan 🤣😇😇👌👍Outstanding informative video 👍👌🧐 Great locking blooper Sir 😇👌Ed, having various types of light will be nice on foggy nights and cold snow storm nights too for a better view to you and incoming traffic 👌🧐👍 Like your remove beford flight keys tag 🧐👌 Outstanding field demo Sir 👌🧐👍 Have a safe week end Sir Cheers 🍻🍻
Haha, thanks David!
Solid review Ed...looks like you're having fun with it. @15:18 I see you were testing the accuracy of the gas gauge. 🤣 When does it go in the body shop for the orange paint? 😁
Haha, good eye! Ironically, even if I went with a Kubota sidekick, I wanted the green one 😄
Thumbs up just for the jump at the beginning lol
Haha, thanks!
Great review! FYI.. Those white zip ties usually do not have UV protection and will get brittle and break over time. I always default to black ones and have no issues
Thanks very much! And thank for the tip! Happy new year! -Ed
The best zip ties are the stainless steel ones.
More videos on this please!
We are thinking of getting a side by side but like you said so many choices out there. You mentioned that it could use a little more leg room and was wondering about that. I'm 6ft and my wife is 5ft 8. Is it better suited for her to drive or is it ok for 6ft, too? Thanks and enjoyed your video.
Nice choice
Thank you!
Ed I just bought mine three weeks ago and really liked your explanation. I agree that I don't like the left foot rest and may remove it in time. I washed mine today and found the receiver hitch design has a hole on top to catch water and rust but no drain. I may have to dry it and fill with silicone. What were they thinking? I plan to add a lighted whip after the first service trip. Mine is camo so I hope it sticks on the body.
Hey Don, congratulations. I’ll have to look for that hole you mentioned. I’m due for my first service. I’m very happy with it! Thanks for watching. -Ed
Sweet.
Thank you, Ernest!
Does it come with a HORN? Wish my Kubota and Polaris ATV's came equipped as they are a great safety necessity.
It does not. Ironically, it seems that many of the less expensive off-brand models have horns.
Great review, you definitely sold me on those tool clamps. If you don’t mind me asking how much are these after financing? Either way wonderful video best one I’ve seen yet.
Thank you, Diego. Prices vary by dealer and region, but this one cost just over $15k out the door. Financing rates vary too.
@@MyClutteredGarage thanks for the reply, I’m going today to a dealership. One wanted almost 20k out the door, they tried to get me with the dealer fees and shipping costs. I’m a young guy and it’s my first toy that I’m looking to seriously buy for some land I have. Any advice when purchasing ?
@@diegorico9321 I did compare prices from 3 dealers. They were all very close. Definitely ask for the “out the door” price which will include all fees and taxes. Also make sure you’re comparing exact models. Congrats on being young and having land. Sounds like you’re already doing the right thing! Good luck!
Oh, and go for power steering. You’ll regret it if not.
@@MyClutteredGarage thanks for the advice, I subscribed to your channel; you got all types of cool content lol. Be safe !
Awesome job on the video, I've been looking on here to see how to add after market lights on it and to remove the dash and so on to run the wiring. Has anyone made a video yet on how to do it? It would be helpful, I just bought a 2023 pro mx, thanks.
Thank you. I haven’t seen any detailed videos on wiring. The dash is easy to remove. Lightly press in the middle off the rivets and pull them out. The middle of the River clicks in about 1/8 inch.
@@MyClutteredGarage ok, thank you. Are you gonna put on a winch?
@@RugerBlackHawk I’ve thought about it but I’m not sure I’ll actually have a need. If I do, I’ll make a video!
Now I want one of these too…
Do it!
@@MyClutteredGarage
I’m looking all over to find one.
Not easy
@@rickdavid1795 True!
I’m considering getting a Pro-MX, myself! How satisfied are you with it after having it for awhile?
I feel exactly the way I did initially. No complaints! We use it nearly every day and haven’t made any repairs yet. I did peel off the door decals. It looks just as good (maybe even better) without them.
I appreciate the quick response! Trying to figure out which one of these things I should buy is stressful! Just stumbled across your channel, and I’m glad I did!
Have you had any of the rattling/vibration at around 15 mph that I’ve seen reported?
@@rettcoode5109 I think so. I hear some rattling, but it doesn’t bother me. I also have the light burning coolant smell that is so common. I’ve never had to add coolant though.
Those single latches have a better chance of FAILURE because of components inside the gate.
Outside latches are BETTER QUALITY and if there is a failure they are EASIER to repair.
Just my preference but I like the double latches.
Good point! I haven’t minded the double latches so far!
@@MyClutteredGarage I had the similar latches on a 1963 Chevrolet truck.
I just test drove one and can't get over the fact that the MX is made by Kymco. I like it but wonder about long term reliability.
I get that. I would hope that it meets Kawasaki's standards. And I have o say, it does seem very well made.
@@MyClutteredGarage I read that the Kymco engine plant was built by Honda. I have the MX Pro, love it. I get in and out a lot so I removed the doors. Easy on and off, ten minute job.
I heard the Kemco engine was Chinese made. Is that true? Have you had any issues with it?
Thank you
No issues so far!
I believe Kymco make the engine themselves in Taiwan
That loud whinning sound when you drive. Does it sounds like the transmission is at high rpms and needs to change? I ask because thats how mine is, i just bought it and was making sure thats normal! Haha...
Yep. That’s the sound. I suppose it’s normal.
I think I would trade my Sidekick for that machine!!
I was really ready to pull the trigger on a sidekick. This just seemed to fit our needs better. And it was in stock 😄
I was really concerned about the touchy throttle that I’ve read about with the sidekick.
The permanently locked rear differential in my Yamaha Rhino was my #1 major complaint with it, as well as the dump bed's lack of capability to actually dump if you had more than about 100 pounds in it. The bed size being so small would make the Kawasaki kind of limited in its cargo capacity. A full size machine probably would handle a regular size pallet which would be something I'd find useful...I gave up with ATVs and UTVs because of all the size limitations, and the ridiculous prices, doesn't matter what brand you look at they're extremely expensive for no more than what you get. I'm looking into a Daihatsu or similar 4WD mini-truck...for the cost of them you get a cab with a heater at a minimum, some have AC as well. The model I was looking at getting also has a hydraulic dump bed, and locking rear differential. A much more practical unit, and if I recall a 55 or 65mph top speed.
If I had a larger property, I'd really consider one of those mini-trucks! Thanks for watching.
@@MyClutteredGarage You bought a UTV, you obviously have plenty of property to play with a mini truck ;). I only have an acre I'd love a mini-truck with a hydraulic dump bed, would save a lot of back and forth with the tractor
Common ed W
Wait until you have a fifty pound box of fencing staples and you go up a hill and it slides to the back in one of those single handle tailgates. You get to play pickup for hours.
My gate seems indestructible I’ve had my cooler loaded over a hundred pounds and it didn’t phase it
I have posted two.comments relating my bad experience with the Kawasaki.Mule. Both have been truthful and meet CZcamss acceptance criteria. Neither have appeared on this channel. So.somebody is censoring information they don't approve of.
I haven’t seen your comments. What was your bad experience? Unless they contain profanity, they shouldn’t be filtered out. Thanks for watching.
@@MyClutteredGarage I purchased a 2018 Kawasaki Mule 4010. After about a years use, it began stalling when at idle. I took it to the dealer I bought it from and they fixed the problem for about 3 months. Then it began doing it again. I took it to my small engine repair guy and he fixed it. He told me this problem was common to this machine. 3 months later it was back to stalling. It has something to do with the throttle body fouling. I have seen CZcams videos and visited forums where people are having the same problem. Kawasaki knows about this problem but have not developed a cure nor have they recalled the machine. So I am stuck with a defective product that can't be fixed. I will never buy another Kawasaki product and am trying to warn others to beware of Kawasaki side by sides. I am going to bite the bullet and buy a Kubota utility vehicle because I know people who have used them without any problems..Kawasaki has a culture problem that allows them to sell defective products to people.
lights are for hunting.
need the hydraulic dumper
Would be handy. Especially moving firewood & mulch.
Do they still stall. After one year, mine will not idle, and no one can fix it. Buy a Kubota.
Bummer. I’m at 500+ miles with no issues. Runs and idles great. I do like the Kubota Sidekick though. I was just concerned about the touchy throttle issue that has not been addressed.
Will repeat the kudos for yor review. Fyi, I've heard that that "3rd party" who makes the engine is Chinese. While that may be good enough for Kawasaki, I'm not sure that it's good enough for me.
Thank you. And fair enough! Although I was confident since I had a hard time finding any complaints about the Kymco engine. Thanks for watching! -Ed
Nope Kymco make their own engines in Taiwan
You could have gotten a 4010 trans! Why on earth would you buy this?!?!?!
The 4010 definitely looks like a capable work horse!
How long a list of reasons would you like? The Trans is a completely different concept. This is an amazing MID size workhorse...
how did ya find out that kymco made that thing ? that's kinda disappointing if it's true
I read it on the internet, where else, LOL. Regardless, these mules have a solid reputation and have good ratings.
@@MyClutteredGarage i tried to look it up too after i watched this and i got 2 or 3 different answers one said nebraska one said missouri and the said by kymco so i dont know which is true maybe a little of all 3 i dont know
a Kymco engine? they are junk! i will stick to the Uforce 600
Haven’t seen any complaints yet. I hope it holds up!
