bigmike's mule meets snow

So I took the mule out in the snow today. Not only did it take forever to warm up, it handled worse than I thought. It was fun spinning out

I've posted a video on youtube...enjoyopcorn:

BTW, if you look and listen closely at the 58 second mark you can hear and see me wack the street sign with the back of the mule.

Nice video. I think I would insulate the cab better, though.

What were mules used for while in service? Running around basesand FOBs?

Mechanical ammo bearer

THAT MADE MY HYSTICAL WHEN I HEARD YOU HIT THE SIGN
!!!
nice vid!

why kool better than a quad

That's pretty sweet Mike! I can look out the window and see the snow on the mountains...that's close enough for me. I'm still wearin' shorts, how 'bout you buddy?

Hahaha bro...I'm far from wearing shorts. It's been snowing the past 4 hours. Looks Like I have another excuse to drive the deuce to work Monday

Looks like fun. Wish I had 1.

That looks like fun...

I'm off for the rest of the year.. I've been having fun driving around too..

I haven't gotten the Deuce to do a doughnut yet.. But I'm thinking about it.

Good grief, more evidence to global warming. I like the mule though Mike. I think Will stuck a finger in your eye with the shorts remarks although it was 80° here again today!

I heard the pop the first time and thought someone was shooting at you......Hahahaha

I thought it handled well.........a little slip and slid here and there but no biggie........

How about taking it into some deeper snow.......??

It sure looks like you had a great time making the vid........Thanks for posting it, I enjoyed watching it........

December 21st, 2008.....

Mike, The mule in that condition has almost the same problem as the USMC M422A1 Mighty Mite.... No weight, hence no bite.....! I'll bet you just about froze you --- off, no cab and no cab heat... you're one tough dude. Four wheel steering.... how cool is that? sure beats a deuce for maneuverability and you can tip it on its side to work on the motor (TRY that with a deuce!!!).
Thanks for the video, and have a safe Holiday Season.

Cheers,

Looks like adjusting to your enviroment well I might need you to tell me where to get one of those cold suits you were wearing cause the last three days I've woken up to ice on my grass All kidding aside, looks like your having fun, careful doing doughnuts in the Deuce though!

Looks like a blast! Can you add crew heat? You should check classifieds...

Spun cookies in the Deuce in a big empty K-mart parking lot the other day. WAY FUN!!
