Just curious, my work sometimes requires odd things of my Raider. ![[Linked Image]](http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff112/rxinhed/Dodge%20Raider/000_0758.jpg)

I will soon buy either one of those Kawasaki Mules or a John Deere Gator. I prefer the Mule, so I'm wondering why you were towing it..... did it break down?

My company uses this Mule at some larger projects where the general contractors do not allow the use of personal vehicles or pickups, this due to parking and workspace limitations. Yes, it is also broken, driven around for the last year in 4WD lock with the left front and right rear shafts working. Poor Mule is beat!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

Thanks - I don't need a 4WD vehicle and like the new Polaris 2WD the best of any I've seen, but it's a little out of the budgeted price range. I'll probably buy the Mule 600 and hope for the best - it's tow-rated a little higher than the Gator 2WD. Jim - I sure like that BBQ cooker. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Frank

This brings to mind a question -- hopefully I'm not hijacking this thread too bad... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> My Raider came with the hitch-receiver-and-pintle-hook thing on the back -- I'm pretty sure this is a factory setup. For anyone using this setup, how do attach your safety chains? I'd love to see pictures...

I attached my safety chains to the loop on the point where your pintle attachment is bolted.
