After lunch we got back on the trail and headed up the mountains a little further. The Margarita Ranch not only has a couple of wineries but also offers adventure tours including zip lining. They have five different zip lines and we got to experience each. Need less to say, it was a very incredible experience.

After our zip line adventure we headed back out in the mules and headed to the Margarita Winery for some more wine testing.

Margarita Adventures offers five zip lines including one that soars 125 feet above ground and takes you 1,800 feet across the vineyard! |
As we mentioned earlier, part of the reason Kawasaki had planned this test ride was for us to see how the Kawasaki Mule Pro FXT performed in practical application.
|
The Kawasaki Mule Pro FXT was right at home on the vineyard |
Quite honestly, we thought the vehicle was perfect for farming and ranching as it has plenty of cargo capacity, especially with the adjustable bed. The steering is very precise even for a larger vehicle and it turns well.
The engine braking is a great feature and was one of the most notable, especially during our tour when we would come across a steeper decent. Kawasaki has many aftermarket accessories for the Mule.

The Camo unit we tested had a roof added to it, which we really liked since it did rain a bit and it kept us nice and dry.

FXT is also offered that features the

The Kawasaki Mule Pro FXT was the perfect fit for our adventure. It is versatile enough to go from workhorse to recreational vehicle comfortably and efficiently. Whether you are working on the farm or taking the family out for a ride, this SXS is ideal for just about any purpose.
