I have 4 kawasaki mules and 2 kubotas. The kawasaki diesel mules are the most reliable things ever made.
One kubota has a/c and both ride very smooth at higher speeds.
Good and Bad..
When monsoon season comes, the kubotas will bury themselves as they are too heavy. The kawsaki's are the only things that will make through the ranch. All else is either stuck or buried cept the caterpiller.
The kawasakis have a stiff suspension and carry heavy loads very well. But you only want to run at half throttle as they are bumpy. The Kubotas have long travel, soft suspension and you can run wide open across the ranch.
Diesel vrs gas... the diesels are almost fool proof. Only needs a battery every 5 years or so. The gas are a pain as the carbs are always plugged up on the older ones. SO>>>> we run a boat tank on the gas and simply unplug it and run the carbs dry so that we dont have carb problems. The factory tanks would also get water in them??? probably from condensation, so the plastic boat tanks are easy to take back and forth and get filled similar to a gas can. One tank on the vehicle, the other tank for a spare and your good on gas problems. Same tanks also run the generators, welders and about everything else and they dont rust out.
Tires are full of slime as we have tons of thorns. Every ten years or so, the tires eventually will split from too many thorns and will need to be replaced.
SO... if its for cadillac ride the kubotas. If its for heavy loads or mud, its the kawasaki's. For almost no mantainance/problems, its the diesels over gas.
We dont use polaris due to the sectional cranksafts slipping.

Today's Featured Article - Memories of a Farmall C - by Monty Bradley. When I was a child, my grandparents lived on a farm owned by a Mr. Walters. The crops raised were cotton and soybeans, with about forty head of mixed breed cattle. Mr. Walters owned two tractors then. A Farmall 300 on gasoline and a Farmall C, that had once belonged to his father-in-law, and had been converted from gasoline to LP Gas. Many times, as a small boy, I would cross the fence behind the house my grandparents lived in and walk down the turn row to where granddaddy would be cultivati
