Couple years back I did a brief stint at a powersports dealership, handling parts/warranty/service-writeup.
We got a lot of different stuff through there, but I don't recall a Cub Cadet. That may be a good thing, hard to say.
Had a Mule or two come through, seemed pretty stout.
The Yamaha stuff seemed best in terms of mechanical quality & factory support, FWIW.
Arctic Cat, not as much but decent.
The Polaris stuff had some weird engineering & electrical, which was sometimes self-destructive.
There were a couple of Chinese brands that were really a pain to deal with, especially parts.
Look for a good dealer or shop in your area, for support & parts considerations.
Buying a nice used "suburban" unit is best bang for the buck.
Frequent oil changes were generally the most important maintenance.
