If money was no object, I would have the Kubota in a heartbeat. But realistically, our Kaw mule does everything we ask of it. That thing is just flat-out tough. I suppose it does ride rough?, but then again, what am I expecting out of it? It's not a pickup truck, it's a utility vehicle, intended for farms and acreage. Not running down the highway. Many of the supposed UTV's on the market today have as their claim to fame, 50 mph or greater top speeds. In my opinion, when you get one that runs that fast you have traded a substantial measure of "utility" in favor of "fun toy".

I want something that will work hard for me, and ride quality at high speed while in the woods or pasture just isn't high on my priority list right now. The Kubotas are awesome, probably the best built machines on the market as far as I'm concerned. Would love to have one, but well satisfied with our mule.

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
