Any Mule Pro owners on the board?
Dealer in Brookhaven just called- they have one with a Kawasaki factory windshield.

I can’t decide whether to grab this one or wait for the next one without it

I have a Ranger with a windshield.

Wouldn’t want without one now.

I do not have a Mule but I have a side by side. I can’t imagine having it without a windshield.

Get the windshield.

As hard as they are to find right now, buy what they have. If you wait too long, you'll be hit with the 2023 model price increases.

I bought a ranch a month ago. More than I wanted, but it was available.

envision yourself driving to the deer/duck blind at 5:30am and it's 23 degrees and misting.

or driving around your property, scouting new areas in the woods and you drive through a banana spider web.

or lastly, following behind a friend in their own ATV on a dirt road and the dust is blinding and unbearable.

I think you know the answer.

I bought my side by side 13 years ago without one. I put one on after the 1st hunting season and haven’t been without one since . Get it.

I bought a mule about 6 weeks ago that came with one. Not real useful now, but will be on those cold mornings I’m sure.

Winter, yes, summer or dust no, or make sure it vents good.

Appreciate all the replies. I’m definitely gonna go with a windshield

Anybody got a favorite aftermarket? Or have any experience with the Kawasaki factory one?

If you found a Mule in stock, buy it. Windshield be damned.

That said, I have the SuperATV flip-up windshield on my Mule Pro MX. Folds all the way up as if you didn't have one, props partially open to vent, or fully shut.

this. or if its plastic, make sure its easily removable or folds down. if you leave it up while transporting on the highway, it wont survive.

Make sure it has a vent of some sort toward the bottom or you also enclose the back. They are bad about sucking dust in the cab.

Worse than all those is driving in the rain. Had ours about 8 years, and it didn’t come with a windshield. Bummer. Found a reasonably priced plexiglass one with rubber straps to attach it. Not nearly as good as a flip up glass one, but keeps most of the rain and nighttime bugs out. Gets hot in the summer, which is why a flip up would be better, but it’s easily removable. It’s been off for a couple of months now, hot as it’s been.

Is this a serious question?

Would you let someone take a tree limb and slap you in the face? The question you should be asking is? Do I want a Bike without a windshield and the answer is always NEVER.

Definitely get the windshield. Then rig you up a set of these.

My grandparents have had a Mule since 1995 and I do field training for the military where we have approximately 40 Mules to get around.

Do not get one of those plexiglass windshields. Get a glass one.
