Donkeys have a mind of their own and a sense of humor. Yes, a sense of humor and find humans entertaining. Mules are more stoic. Thus, mules are "easier."

In every farming community I've lived in where either horses or mules
were actually working critters, this tended to be a function of
community.....
And James' idea to check out Mammoth donkeys is a good one. Several
folks in this area are using them; they are good workers and said to be
"almost as easy as mules", although in that conversation I didn't have
time to check out exactly what was meant by that statement, but it was
made by a guy 80+ who has used mules all his life, still has a beautiful
8 mule hitch that he works in addition to other assorted 4 legged workers.
