The Bush Hog UTV does have some cheap looking plastic body components but the frame and drive train is built anything but cheap. It weighs more(mainly due to the frame), has true 4 wheel drive and more hp so it should easily out pull a Mule. It also has a better ride than any other UTV that I have driven and I have driven everything but the new Ranger Crew. Anybody that thinks that the Bush Hog UTV will not last long has not looked closely at this machine or does not know Bush Hogs rep for making quality products. Do not overlook the Bush Hog.
I am not putting down the mule, in fact I am waiting to test drive the Ranger Crew before buying either the Crew or a Transmule(3 kids). I like the quality and toughness of the trans but I wish it had true 4 wheel drive and a better suspension. I am concerned about the Rangers turning radius and I do not like that it will go 44mph(3 kids). But if I did not need the additional seating the Bush Hog would be high on my list.
