My dad had a 2006 until a year ago and all he ever did aside from regular maintenance was replace the drive belt on it.
It really is properly named, it is slow but will climb anything while packing a load.

My other choice would be a Polaris Ranger. It is way more machine as far as power and suspension go, probly around 40-50mph and enough suspension for small jumps.
But after years of work I don't know if it would hold up as well as the Mule because it has a plastic bed, it's tough, but it's still plastic while the Mule bed is steel.

And either of these machines can be found used for a fraction of the cost but these machines are usually put through the ringer on a regular basis so it would be a crap shoot you'd have to make without a factory warranty.
]]>I started out thinking about getting a used machine then started looking at new ones then I got totally confused. I am trying to learn enough about the better manufacturers and make a short list before seriously shopping for a specific model. I am thinking Yamaha, Polaris, Kubota, Kawasaki and John Deere would be a decent short list. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. I will be reading posts to see what I can learn Thanks
