You are a tall guy. Would mini trucks be comfortable for an old man to squeeze into?

I ended up with used Mule when I got my new place. It has a windshield and a front bumper. Nothing else.
I use it to haul gear, stands, dead animals, seed, lime, trees, fertilizer and getting around. I haven’t seen a need for much else but I don’t drive it on the road. It actually sits more during deer season than it does during habitat season.

Big mule fan myself and my ice shanty fits perfectly in the back.

I am pretty certain I've narrowed the choice to a Kawi Mule. I'm just trying to figure out what options to add so I can come up with a price.

Not sure if new ones or other models are super charged but the mule is more of a work machine then a joy rider. Thing is tough as nails. I bought it ten years ago used and other than oil changes and batteries it hasn’t cost me a penny.

We are in the same boat and looking to buy a side by side this year. I have had my Polaris atv 400 for 18years now and it's time. What do you like about kawi mule over the others?...if u don't mind me asking

I have limited recent experience around ATV's so take my comments lightly, but one friend did recently switch from a Mule to another brand (Polaris, I think.) The old Mule was considerably louder than other machines, annoyingly so. Also the old Mule was a bit narrower, and maybe a bit less comfortable because so.
Go on some test drives.

My dad bought a little Kubota. I like that it's mostly mechanical linkages and there aren't many solenoid actuators. It's a tough little machine but slow if you want to go anywhere that's open spaces.
I can honestly say that I don't think I've ever been on a Mule, but I'll tell ya what I think would be a fun little machine for the backroads and bar trips would be is the RZR.

I have the mule 610 and a Polaris ranger 550 with the back seat. Really no comparison between the two. The mule is so nimble in the woods, turns sharp, beat the crap out of it, work machine. The Polaris is a much smoother ride and goes 60mph but is no good at doing work unless it is in the wide open. I try not to even take the Polaris in the woods, you need a half acre to turn around. I think my mule is quieter than Polaris so not sure what was up with your friends. They really are for two different wants. If I could only keep one I would keep the mule. It also fits between the wheel wells of my truck if I had to move it.
