I am in the market for a new side by side. I am trying to do some research to compare the Polaris Ranger XP 900-6 EPS versus the Kawasaki Mule Pro-FXT EPS. I know that Polaris is the big name when it comes to this but I am looking for the machine that will be the toughest, best riding, longest lasting option (with the least amount of time spent in the shop). The main uses will be your normal hunting conditions, but will require hauling heavy loads of feed over ROUGH steep terrain. Thanks for any information you can share.

I have a 2015 ranger crew 900-6 esp I'm selling if your interested. I'm not much help on the mule pro but this is my second ranger and love them. I have had them both in the mountains of Colorado and both preformed very well for me. If interested you can pm me. Thanks

We have had the Mule,Kobata and Polaris Ranger and we like the Ranger. The Mule and Kobata ride rough the Polaris is a lot smoother and its a lot faster plus it holds a lot of corn and pulls very well. As far as staying out of the shop that's a hit or miss on all UTV. The 900XP is a great machine you will like it.

Own both and would take the Mule over the Ranger everyday of the week. Mule is surprisingly smoother. Ranger is faster out of the gate and it's not close but mule is only a handful of mph slower on top end. Mule is much quieter then the Ranger. They both can carry the same weight and pull the same amount. Now the biggest difference is mule has a 3 month warranty versus the rangers 6 month. That says it all to me. I would be perfectly happy with the Ranger if I hadn't ever bought the Mule. Having them side by side in the shop I get in the Mule ever time over the Ranger. I'll sell you my Ranger if you are interested.

I know you meant 3 years on the mule warranty not 3 months. That's a big selling point for me even though I never needed the ranger warranty prior with any of the new ones I owned.

They're both great machines and will do well if you maintain them well. Treat them like chit, driving through 3'+ water, mudding and carelessness and you'll put either in a shop. My '14 Ranger 900xp has been flawless after 2 years of 500+ miles/trip in CO, 2 years on a muddy Lease and has over 2500 miles on her now. Not One Single problem.....knock on wood
I change my fluids religiously and use nuttin' but Synthetics.
The only negative I have with the Mule Pro is she's a fat, heavy beatch!

We have a Ranger crew single seat Ranger and the Mule out at our property and the Mule gets used way more than they Rangers....could be cause their in the **** shop all the time! The only thing that the Ranger have over the Mule is speed imo. Also a company that backs their product 6 months or a company that bakcs their product 3 years.... you tell me which one believes in their product. We also added another 3 year extended warranty for 700 or so I believe. Thats a 6 year warranty!!!Last edited by bloodtrailer28; 07-24-2016, 05:17 PM.
