It's for getting up tough trails to the top, where we get out and hunt, and to haul a deer back down. I don't need to dump the deer onto the ground. My bigger Ranger would never get up the trail to this place, no bigger UTV would get up the road below, and a dump bed is of no use. I use the Ranger dump bed some on the farm, but my tractor with a loader gets used 20X more. Our trails are unimproved and not flat. They go up this stuff. Small compact ATVs/UTVs or trail bikes are all that can get up them. (The old phone's camera wasn't focusing, and it got replaced.)

Hunted off it for 20+ years. So I bought myself a new toy and putting the bling on because this machine is designed by idiots with zero consideration of storage. Let's see your hunting rig. Honda makes a great machine, but the 500 is the baby of the bunch. I used one for one season. They have extremely low ground clearance. I kept getting hung up in places that I never would with my old Yamaha Rhino. It gets high centered very easily. Do yourself a favor and put a winch on the front. I stepped up to a Honda Pioneer 700/4 with a dump bed. Totally different machine, problem solved, that one will go anywhere I need to go with ease. Last edited by jc189; 09/22/23.

Lemme guess, load it up with firewood back it up to the shed and dump it on the ground so you can bend over to pick it back up?

It wouldn't really be a deal breaker if it didn't dump, but it can be handy when cleaning up after storms or policing up after cutting fallen trees. You don't have to touch the stuff twice. One of the things I like about the Mule FXT Pro is that the bed can dump even when in the shortened configuration, as seen here. I had it tilted up to check the engine oil. Bed is fairly capacious in full-length mode. Last edited by JPro; 09/22/23. Now with even more aplomb
