I have a 4010 mule and I'm considering putting a high output altenator on it. Was wondering if anyone has one on their mule and if it is worth the expense

Leeson, Kawasaki, and others sell a 50 amp add on kit that boosts the gasoline engined Mules to a total of 65 amps.

I have used these, but they are only for low speed operation of high loads. Put one on and go riding along with a ton of lights and you will snap the end of the crankshaft off as the engine is not really built to handle drives from the wrong end like these require.

I recommend using an additional battery for occasional high loads, then just put it on the maintenance charger when parked, or buy a diesel Mule and get a decent charging system right off the factory floor.

I wonder if, with some high modding, you could put a heavy-duty truck alternator on the load side of the engine.

Thanks for your input, I did see on the website that they do mention for low speeed operation.
