The mule pro fxt is the most comfortable ride for a true utility vehicle, period. You will end up leaving the bed/rear seat in the full bed position almost always. There is a powered dump kit available from Kawasaki also. And I think the Mule still has the only metal bed of any manufacturer, since you mentioned slag and gravel.
It is not, however, a speed demon. That’s one complaint. The other weakness is there is not locking front differential available. That hasn’t yet affected my use and I’m pretty hard on mine/use like it was built to be used on the farm and definitely in the nastiest fine silt mud south Alabama has to offer.
My warranty goes out this month and I haven’t used it for anything. Mine is bone stock except wheels and tires. I went to 28” blackwater evo which are a huge step up from the stock dry land tires.
Can second pretty much everything he said. Mule pro fxt is the way to go
