you never know

[diamondcutter]

Get down and mucky on the farm or at the stables and have a bit of fun. You never know you might love driving tractors and feeding cows and horses. If nothing else, it will give you a good appreciation of what a tough life farming is.

I have two questions about this passage.

1. Does ‘get down and mucky on the farm’ mean ‘go to work and get dirty on a farm’?

2. Does ‘you never know’ mean ‘maybe’?

1. Yes. The common phrase is "get down and dirty" but the writer used "mucky" because "muck" is a word that's associated with farms, stables etc.
2. Yes. It's a way of saying "You never know what might happen - you could even discover you love driving tractors ...".

Note that there should be a comma after "You never know".

1. Does ‘get down and mucky on the farm’ mean ‘go to work and get dirty on a farm’?

Yes, basically. It means: try out farm work in person.

2. Does ‘you never know’ mean ‘maybe’?

Yes.

In the English test paper, Senior High School Entrance Examinations 2019, Henan province, China, the passage in #1 was used as test material and the first sentence was reworded as follows.

Get down and work on the farm or at the stables and have a bit of fun.

Does ‘get down and work on the farm’ have the same meaning as the original version? And does the new version make sense?

It looks like a non-native speaker revised the question. The new version doesn't work.
