Have 3 kawasaki mules and one kubota.... The diesel kawasakis are bullet proof and have around 3000 hours on them and have been totally abused and still go. They also work very well in wet season and will NOT get stuck...
We have one gas kawasaki, and often the carb is gooped up and need to be cleaned and reassembled. So we are not fond of gas versions that sit for 3/6 months at a time.
We have two kubota diesels and are also nice, ride very very soft and hydraulic dump beds and do well
the bad....
The kawasakis have stiff suspension and you can only run around 10 mph on rough roads or pastures.... BUt they can go through quick sand and not get stuck.
The kubotas are very very heavy and are no good in mud and will pretty much get stuck unless your drive around all the mud puddles... BUt the kubotas have long suspension travel, ride very very smooth and can run faster across rough pasture or roads. They also have the hydraulic dump which is nice on the few occasions that you need it. The kubotas require cleaning of the radiator screen twice a year or they will over heat due to grass and chaff getting in the screen and limiting air flow.
All of them have to have a quart of slime in each tire as the thorns are bad.
For heavy duty work, I would go with a full sized kawasaki mule every time for durability, first choice for heavy farm or Ranch work. we have to drive through a lot of brush and over logs, and rocks. The 'sakis are built like a rock in this aspect. You can get hung up if the logs are too big so they are not a caterpiller.
For a nice transportation vehicle the Kubota ride is excellent and great. One of the 'botas has cab and ice cold a/c, but sadly its hard to get any work done on it as its too nice in the cab to get out and work.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
