Here in the UK most UTV's. Are diesel, due to our fuel cost. We ran a diesel Mule for 3 years, was a good sturdy machine, but when it came to change I wanted something with better suspension, top speed and brakes. Looked at the Gator, which ticks the boxes , but the cab is too narrow at the top, without doors you are going to get wet at speed, the weather just funnels past the wind shield and onto you, worse than the gator.the answer lay in the Polaris Ranger diesel. Superb machine, great speed and handling, disc brakes all round and suspension that beats the Gator , we felt.
These machines are really starting to catch on here, as all around run abouts on the farm, and running on farm diesel are as cheap as chips to run.
Good luck with whatever you go for, Kubota have a limited following here as they are rather slow and have the same limited suspension that the Mule suffers from.
Ranger all the way for me.
