We have bought 20 plus polaris on the ranch over the years, use them hard everyday . We like to go fast as well so that's why we wont buy a mule. We change the oils and plugs every 100 hours and they just keep going

Have you considered an ATV and small trailer? Thought about that, but I don’t know if the school would go for it. Side by sides at least look a little safer. Plus, if we need to haul sick a kid off, I can throw them in the passenger seat.

My hunting buddy just got one of these. 3 bucket seats, nice easy dump bed but its not a 6' bed. He's only had it 6 months so I know nothing about reliability. I am wanting one myself.
Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it.

Mule, those Kawasaki engines will last longer than the owner!
We have a 20yr old Kaw Mule 550 at our ranch that gets abused by everyone, and its flat out reliable and indestructible!

I worked at a plant about 6 yrs ago and we had Kubota diesels, The guys drove them like they stole them 24/7 they held up well IMO. Top speed was about 25 MPH that's one of the reason the boss went with the Kubota.

We also have a Kubota 1140X diesel, and it is a very nice machine, especially the last few year models that came with independent suspension, though they’re gonna run you an additional $2,500 for diesel vs gas.

If your talking about driving them on a football field, keep in mind that a side by side would tear that field to shreds.

Can am is the only other I would consider. I want to own one that I can at least keep up with a bicyclist.
