- The 2023 Kawasaki Mule Pro FX puts in work around our 60-acre woodlot to help us evaluate it. Kawasaki is known for building reliable, strong products, so we put this Mule to the test by loading it up with lumber.

Yes!!!
More companies should make real simple machines for WORK!!
Hisun sector looks sportier than it is… for the price, i got mine over the mule because i’m poor, but THIS mule if i had the money was the one i wanted.. was looking at a mule SX and the hisun… hisun so far, has been rock solid.
Front does not lock, locker switch is for the rear open diff. I own same buggy 2022.
You are correct. Thanks for catching that!
I really like my Mule. It puts in mind the days of plane Jane functioning trucks....no frills just work it get it dirty and spray it down.
I just sold my 2016 mule pro DX eps after is used it on the farm for 7 yrs and had 50000 miles and 5000 hours
I own Mule Pro DX, and have hearly 500 hours on it. I love it, best bit of kit I have bought for my farm. I added a winch and full underbody bash plate and a brush bar that bolts onto the front bumper bar. I put some heavy duty Kolpin grips and I carry a shovel and crowbar all the time, which is handy as it doesnt take up space in the cargo bed. The ride quality is fantastic. I am on steep country in a high rainfall sub tropical environment in Australia and I really appreciate the wider wheel base and relatively low centre of gravity. I dont know if it is still the case but when I bought mine (nearly 3 years ago) you could get it with a Yanmar diesel engine or with a chinese petrol engine, not a kawasaki engine, and there was no difference in price! The low end torque is great, I can snig big strainer posts up steep hills, no problem and I load it up with a 400 litre spray rig and it handles the heavy load with ease. This is a work machine and I highly recommend it. If I am being super critical the diesel engine is a bit noisy. I did see somewhere you can get a noise blanket for the engine but I am used to it now so it doesnt bother me. I used to use a quad bike on the place and the Mule takes things to a whole new level in terms of what you can get done. I have to say I don't show mine a lots of love and it is a tough machine, every machine is breakable but you are going to have to really try hard if you want to break the Kawasaki Mule.
Thanks, just bought one and you have put our minds to rest.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - Best reviews on CZcams! Keep up the great work guys!
Thank you! I'm in the market for one of these for my property.
Great work SXS. I Love my Viking for the big bed.
I'm looking at the yamaha viking g 700. Is your nachine loud when driving with a passenger ? Thanks
🤣🤣👏👏 GREAT JOB MOM FOR THINKING AHEAD AND LEAVING THE DUMP BED UNLOCKED LMAO 👏👏👏 ... HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY EVERYONE ✌️
Rofl… imagine forgetting one side and thinking the load was just too heavy… ha
It's actually better that Kawasaki left the foot area open, that way you can buy your own storage compartment configured the way you want it and custom put in a storage rather than a pre fabbed storage unit.
Another excellent video! It's good and interesting to see a review of a work-oriented UTV being actually used for work. Well done!
Edit: sp.
Thank you very much!
Kawasaki, a Japanese brand with the Chinese Chery 800 cc engine. My ride, not a Kawasaki, has the 1100cc version of that same engine. John Deere uses the 800 cc engine in their 825i. Quite a few lesser known brands of UTVs use that Chinese engine. Apparently, it's a very dependable engine.
Nice video, thank you. Who makes the 3 cylinder engine? Are these the same as the MX; Taiwanese Kymko made machines?
Is this a 2 or 3 seater? Great video
You mentioned that it was free wheeling. It does have engine braking. Are you saying that the engine braking doesn't work well? Are you in low or high?
You keep referencing a front locking differential when you select the locker button. There is no front locking differential. You are locking the rear differential with that button.
How fast does it go?? Top speed mph?
Generally tires up to 26 inches tall go on 12 inch rims which are not very expensive. 27 inch and up are commonly used on 14 inch rims which are more expensive and give you less sidewall. I've run into a few odd ball 27 inchers at the shop on 12 inch rims but usually not. With 200 tires in stock and repairs on about 600 machines per year, I get a chance to see almost everything. Big fan of the late model Mules at a decent price point.
Nice review..... however that was like at best 300 lbs of wood.
The mule SX shoulda been called the goat…
Or just latch one side
Way to much cost i have bought a lot of used cars for less
