I use a Honda Rubicon for plowing and hauling. I like this model of ATV for its 5 speed fluid transmission which is much like a cars but it can be shifted manually as well as automatically and it has low lock and traction control options. I have a dump/swivel trailer that is rated for 1500 lbs. and holds 22 Cu ft. I can't recall the maker but they have them at many farm stores and on eBay. I'll attach a photo. I use a 60" plow on my 800' driveway. I run chains on the tire front and back but I've done well with them just on the back. [Hearth.com] 4 wheeler for wood hauler/plowing

I think we will skip spring this year and go directly into the summer weather!

I have 2 small machines. Kawasaki 300 Lakota and a Honda TRX 300. Both are scramblers type. Nice on trails, light and nimble. I pull a Ohio steel trailer with 500LBS of wood in it. I don't think they would be any good plowing.
