We are excited to announce that today November 13, 2015 is the 10th anniversary of Mudd-Ox! The past 10 years have been full of great people, memories, and events.
2005: an idea for a new amphibious atv, Mudd-Ox, was born
2006: The first prototype was completed and began chassis testing
2007: Upper and lower bodies designs were finalized and molded for the first machine
2008: Our first production machine was sold and delivered to Australia. You can now see Mudd-Ox #1 in our showroom as we brought it in on trade this past year.
2009: Plant 2 was created to provide room for the growing assembly areas
2010: All machines were now being built as direct drive from the engine to the pump, no longer using clutches.The chassis were upgraded to twin 60 roller chain everywhere as well as the introduction of Kubota turbo diesels. An electronic drive for the handicap was designed, and the 6x6 prototype was created.
2011: A 100 hp specialty machine was introduced
2012: All machines were now built with diesel engines. A new tire design was in the works
2013: The Vendetta tire turned from a drawing to reality. These were fitted on our new XL and GT
2014: Plant 3 was built to house the recently purchased Recreatives Max 6x6's. The showroom was completed to show our latest models, including a new camo Max
2015: The 21x11x8 Vendetta tire was finished for the Max linenup. We also introduced the 85 hp fully hydraulic Fort Mac edition Mudd-Ox
We cannot say enough how thankful we are to have the ability to spend our lives doing what we love. Designing new machines and meeting all of you from across the globe has been one of the most memorable experiences we could have ever asked for. Mike and Matt once stood at a Max dealership and were amazed that the 4-stroke started right up and idled without any effort, unlike their old Starcraft and Chaparral. Going from fixing up old machines back in our teenage years to contributing to the hobby with our own vehicles is almost unbelievable. Cheers for another 10 years!
