Tough Shift Into Reverse

I just tap the gas and it shifts smooth as silk in to reverse. Not a big deal. It has gotten easier over time also.

I just spent all weekend with Rangers, Kubotas, a Yamaha hunting. If you don't like the Mule by all means go to one of the other brands... but I assure you... our issues are small potatoes compared to theirs. LOL

I like the Mule so far. It's a new machine and I've been busy working out small kinks and this is one of them. Some issues to a degree I've come to expect. I'll agree these machines seem better than most other brands, but sometimes I literally have to push the Mule out my garage by hand before it will go into gear. That's not right, it's an issue.
Yes if you are having to do that then it is a problem and you should take it to the dealer. If the dealer can shift it fine then its you.

Just don't get frustrated and start jerking the shift lever. That makes it worse. When mine was brand new some time I would shift in to forward and roll it a little bit forward then go to reverse. Haven't had to do it in a while but did it initially.
