When I bought my pond property in 2012 I was considering a gas golf cart with a dump bed. I stumbled upon a 2011 Kawasaki Mule 4010 Trans with 46 hours on it. Fortunately I had done enuff research to recognize a killer deal and jumped on it and I'm glad I did. This thing is as handy as a pocket on a shirt! Whether I'm hauling people, puppy dogs, old wimmens or pulling a trailer it does it all. It has a dump bed, 4WD and locking differential. I can highly recommend the Mule, but that's the only one I have owned. If you're looking in the used market, I would look for EFI and power steering, without EFI they can be cold natured, compounded by your northern climate I'm sure.
