    2023 Mule Pro MX EPS?

    Only the pro mx KAF700A series uses 4x136. The KAF700B, C, and D all use the 4x156 bolt pattern. Can be very confusing because many aftermarket companies don't differentiate models

    2023 Mule Pro MX EPS?

    Looks really good with the bigger tires, I'm sold, I'm putting them on mine. What differences have you noticed as far as power, acceleration and overall speed? Worse, better, not much difference? Any clearance issues? Thanks in advance

    Now I remember, Country manufacturing. I appreciate the feedback. I liked the looks of them, but I think I'll stick with the one I have

    2023 Mule Pro MX EPS?

    I have a 2021 model I bought 6 months ago and absolutely love it. I purposely bought this size as I have many trees and my trails are fairly narrow. Before this I had a Honda foreman (loved it too and it was bulletproof) but always wanted a sxs and I'm happy I went with this one.

    SO READY to spring on a UTV - Trying to decide gas or diesel, HELP!!

    I just bought a Kawasaki mule pro mx, and it really has surpassed my expectations. I was looking for something to do mostly work, but also can have a little fun with, and fits my needs perfectly. wanted something on the smaller end (i have lots and lots of trees, narrow paths, etc) but not too...

    I have the GC1725M. Can't speak to the other two, i've owned this for over two years, 0 issues and has outperformed my expectations.

    Culvert Install

    Good find on that culvert pipe! 28 years ago I put two in. The first one was on the back portion of my property which I used very little, but very necessary because like you, I risked getting stuck every time I crossed the creek. I did it exactly like you did, filled it with dirt, and it worked...

    Should a new tractor come with a full tank of gas?

    If you bought one from a dealer that just sells at the lowest price and just does volume sales, I wouldn't expect anything. But if you bought from a local dealer that needs the business, then I would expect full tank, hats, (or other small items) and free delivery. The small things add up and...

    Please critique the weld quality (photos enclosed)

    I am by no means a welding expert, but know enough that these welds are very amateurish. Looks like they have been welded over and over again, and not very well. Now whether they will hold up or not is another story. Can ugly welds be sufficient? Of course, if it has good penetration into the...

    One of the worst floor plans ever

    What's even more bizarre is that the bathroom at the entry has a shower. You would have to walk through the entire house to get to a bedroom

    3 point hookup

    Replacing 1 tire - or 2?

    As long as it is the same brand, type, and size, replacing one is ok. Switching brands or type, replace both

    What have you hit with your mower lately?

    Used to bush hog as a side gig for many years, and I think literally hit everything you can imagine. Cinder blocks, rocks of every size, snakes, animal carcasses, rebar, wire, pipe, fence, stumps, a smashed shopping cart, brake rotors, you name it. The worst ones that stand out that caused the...

    Bringing up old rock / gravel...want to restore parking lot and driveway...Land Plane or box blade or?

    I had great results recently on my mothers driveway using nothing but a landscape rake. Brought all of the gravel back up to the top and looks like a brand new driveway. Didn't add any weight to it, just made many passes, first angled toward the center, and then angled to the edge. Worked great

    Utility trailers - what should i know?

    I know that, I wasn't making that point. I guess you missed where I said one was made with all angle steel and felt flimsy, the second was all box steel and solid. didn't think I needed to elaborate more

    Blew out the turf tire on the last scoop of the day.

    Surprisingly well, doesn't damage the turf at all, at least no more than my previous tractor.

    Blew out the turf tire on the last scoop of the day.

    I have the same tractor, I got it with the R4 tires and have owned it for almost 3 years now with no issues with the tires. As far as patching your existing tire, I feel it might work temporarily but I would replace it. If your just replacing one tire, get the exact same tire. If you're going...

    Utility trailers - what should i know?

    I've owned 2 6x12 trailers. The first one was a single axle, made completely out of angle steel with a wood floor. Looked solid, but I couldn't believe how much it flexed and creaked with as little as 1500 lbs on it. Pulled fine, but was never really comfortable with putting much weight on it. I...

    Ideas for cannon ball extraction?

    When you go to shoot it, you can use just about any kind of wadding that you want. My dad's signal cannon was 1.5 bore and we used a plastic disk (similiar to a shotgun wad) that fit VERY snug. Compression is key. The snugger the fit, the bigger the bang. Rags will work, just roll tight into a...

    Ideas for cannon ball extraction?

    The F's is the size of measure of the powder (grain). For example, Fg is the coursest grain, which burns slower. It goes up to FFFFg, which is very fine and burns very fast. Rule of thumb, .50 or less, use FFFg or FFFFg, .50 or more, use FFg or Fg. I use FFg in my .54 cal

    lowe's wrong chain saw in box

    I miss the sears stores, easy exchange on tools. Within the last couple years, I went to exchange a couple ratchets and a broken socket. I went to Ace first, and they said they do not do exchanges on Craftsman tools anymore (I believe Ace stores are individually owned and operated though) I...

    How would you fall this?

    Been following this thread; finally found some pictures of a similar situation I had 5 years ago, maybe not as big as yours. I began by cutting off all the branches, working from small to big, eventually working down the trunk a small section at a time. There was obviously some stored energy...

    Guy uses fake check to steal Massey tractor...recognize him?

    I searched for about 20 minutes online, found nothing related to what you said. Did find a trucker who had $39500 seized at a Phoenix airport during a bag search. Please, please post a link to the article where it said police used a "scanner" to seize cash. really getting a kick out of this thread

    Ideas for cannon ball extraction?

    My dad had two cannons, a .54 and a 1.75 bore (I still have the .54). I can remember on several occasions with misfires we had to use an extractor (basically a metal rod with a lag screw welded on the end) to remove the ball. We only used lead balls with wads. Basically just screw the rod into...

    Ferris IS2100z no power to left wheel

    I wouldn't think it would hurt anything at all. Let me know if you do something like that, I mow around hundreds of trees so I'm always mowing sticks myself. My rule of thumb is if it's the diameter of my fingers or less, I mow over it

    Ferris IS2100z no power to left wheel

    Another poster had his blades taken off by bamboo, and he didn't hear it either. You're right, they are really thin, I now doubt they made much noise and broke off in a fraction of a second. The fans must create serious vacuum in the "compartment" because whether I mow for a half hour or 4...

    Ferris IS2100z no power to left wheel

    Wow, guess it doesn't take much to knock the blades off. I wear noise cancelling headphones when I mow, so I most likely wouldn't hear it either

    Ferris IS2100z no power to left wheel

    I have the exact same mower and have owned it for 7 years now. Twice mine has done the same thing on the left side. Once, it was just a touch low on the reservoir tank, added not even a cup of oil and then it was fine. Second time, a stick (or something) partially dislodged the release lever...

    Things you find in the air.

    I live relatively close to the Dayton airport and Wright Patt AFB(15 miles or so), so every year during the air show and other events I get to see just about every kind of aircraft fly overhead. Over the last 28 years, the most memorable have been the thunderbirds, the Memphis Belle, Stealth...

    Would You Loan It Out?

    Obviously the consensus here (and I agree) is not to loan out equipment, but some of the comments have been WAY too harsh IMO. You're obviously a nice guy and just trying to be a good neighbor, world could use more people like that. But, as you found out, your neighbor is a user. On several...

    Battery powered chainsaw

    Last year I bought a used DeWalt pole saw, looked brand new, previous owner used it one time. Used it a couple times for what I needed too at the time, but hated it because it would cut for a few seconds and stop, had to repull the trigger countless times just to make one cut. It came with a 4AH...

    What is the dumbest thing you have done with your equipment ?

    Got two; First one I stupidly tried mowing a low marshy area too early in the spring and got my mower stuck. Got my tractor stuck trying to pull out the mower. Got my truck stuck trying to pull out the tractor. Got my buddies 4wd wrecker stuck trying to pull out my truck. Everything froze in the...

    Ferris ISX800

    I mow 6-9 acres on a regular basis, and owned several different brands and styles over the years. My current one is a Ferris 2100z, and by far the best one I've had. My property has a lot of trees, is bumpy, hilly, and other obstacles. It does get stuck fairly easy though on wet soft ground, so...

    New Woods tiller problem.....

    Does the clanking noise sound in sync with the RPM, for example if you slow the engine down does the sound slow down too? Can you isolate the sound to just the top gearbox, or could it possibly the the top ujoint on the PTO shaft? Roughly what is the angle of the shaft? Had a horrible sound...

    Car Accident Question

    It's been so long ago I don't remember the details, but when i was hit, my insurance agent got with their insurance co, and next day they delivered a rental to my house. Never saw a bill for it, it was all taken care of. At that time, I had allstate. Good luck with your situation!

    scut ride comfort while mowing, R4 vs turf vs R14

    To answer your question, I don't think swapping tires will have much impact, at least not in my experience (I currently have R4). Airing down tire pressure in the rear will have more impact. That, and getting a new seat with better springs (I hate the stock seat on GC's). Pretty much what...
