We recently bought a cabin in an area that gets a bit of snow. My wife suggested that we get an ATV to plow the driveway (shhh, don't tell her what I will really do).
I've never owned an ATV (but have ridden a few, I'm a snowmobiler) but have started looking around. I'm pretty sure for snow plowing (and hopefully trailing riding or at least forest service roads) I need a utility 4x4. I saw a 2002 Polaris Sportsman 400 IRS on craigslist for about $2700. It includes a winch and such (no snowplow).
I guess I am looking for some advice. What should I be looking for? What size? What are the most bulletproof for my needs? Not sure of my budget, but no more than $3000.
Thanks for any and all advice!
