Back around 1970, J I Case had a proving ground near their backhoe and
bulldozer plant at Burlington. One of the guys who worked there drove a
220Sb. The employees would have offroad races around the place. Think
motocross in a car. The 220Sb won almost all the time, according to
what he told me. 220Sb won the Argentine grand prix, (which is pretty
much offroad) in the 60s.
My 190Dc was far better on crappy pothole/washboard tracks than any
merkun car or truck.
If he could fix it himself, a ML is probably as good a choice as any.
But if someone else has to work on it, then you are on the right track, Dan

If the service aspect wasn’t an issue I would suggest an ML. I think they would
do fairly well in that environment.
Jeeps are stupid expensive. A coworker just bought a new one and it’s so tarted
up I can’t imagine stuff staying in place if they took it off-road.
