Does anyone own this UTV and how do you like it? I have a mule 610 (SX) 4 x 4. Works great but want another UTV with a little more size, power, and comfort. I believe this engine has been around 3-4 years.

They are good machines. Same power as the HD 8 it replaced.
With me and a half tank of gas it will do 54 mph.
Hard to go wrong with that unit
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I’d consider the Mule pro 1000 also, don’t think you can go wrong with either

I have had one for about 7 months now. I really only have two gripes.
1. the CVT transmission can be a bear when trying to make small movements in tight situations.
2. ....Well, I guess I only have one gripe. Lol.
Other than that, I love it. Do yourself a favor and get front and rear windshields (the rear windshield really cuts down on the engine noise), and a rear view mirror.

Did you get the model without power steering? If so, is it fairly easy to turn, etc. The smaller Mule SX I have is easy to turn without it. I know PS is better though but they are proud of them $$. BUying for a place I only go 6-8 times a year that has no technical riding. Pretty smooth stuff.

To be honest, I don't miss it on my can am, its really easy to turn at any speed other than a dead stop
