I might have the oppertunity to buy an older kawasaki mule diesel utv. I am guessing that it is a 1990 version..Any thoughts on waht a fair price is? it is in good condition with probably 900 miles on it or better
No idea on price but will say that I have heard from more than one that these things don't do too well in mud or snow. Seems they get stuck pretty easy. Not sure if they've improved on that or not, but a 1990 version might also have that defect. Check that out for sure.
I used to use one and it never got stuck. they ahve a differential lock in them and super low range. I would put some big dog tires on it of course. and hell, even if it did, isnt that was a 4500lb winch is for!
My FIL has a 2000's model that I got buried in a mud hole with. It was really my fault because I knew the tires were bad, but I didn't know how deep the hole was. My daughter was with me (5 years old at the time), so I made her drive while I pushed it out. When I jumped in, the mud was up to my knees! Overall, I like the Mules. I think with a decent set of biter-tires, they could really go through most anything.
