I have a Kubota 900 and have had several of the original small gas Gators. One benefit the Jeeps don't have is a hydralic lift bed. I use this feature often around my farm where you can't use a front loader, and you would usually have to use a wheel barrow. The Mule may be a good option now, but at the time I was looking they didn't have power steering which is a must for the gals. Even if it's one of the larger 4-wheelers, if it has 4-wheel drive you need the power steering. The Kubota can out pull most everything( I've pulled a low boy trailer with 50 bales of hay), but it's not the fastest one. My only knock on the Kubota is the way they stop when you let off on the accelerator. I don't know if that's been fixed with later models..du
