Ethan, that may be like asking which brand of tractor is best./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif The best one is the one you like best. I've only had experience with the Mule and it was a great machine. It belonged to my brother, but stayed at my place quite awhile. I had a rancher neighbor who would never buy a new car, pickup, or tractor (always bought older used ones), but after I took him one day on the Mule to do fence repairs, he promptly went and bought a new Mule; uses it to herd cattle, carry feed, carry a spray rig for insecticides and herbicides, carry the tools for fence repairs, etc. And his wife uses it to go fishing./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif If you get the hard top, as my brother did, it makes a great platform for pruning trees, cleaning rain gutters, etc. and with the power dump bed my brother had, we moved a lot of dirt; could not overload it.
