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 - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
