| |  looking for a new ATV
I've been looking for a new ATV for awhile..but i can't bring myself to one choice. I'm looking for one that can be used just to ride around in the trails, then hook up a plow and use it for plowing duty on the farm. Anyone have any suggestions? I've looked into the scramblers, but i want something bigger...

How much do you want to spend? I would look seriously at the new Yamaha Grizzly 700 if that is not out of your budget.

budget isn't really much of a concern...I need to get a loan for the new truck any way. Do you own a griz? Are they fun to wheel, and still good for work?

I really wish i had boughten an ATV by yesterday...we got about 10 inches at my house, in some places it was 6 feet deep, others it was 3 inches. Drifted pretty bad, but luckily I have the John Deere 4440, or else i wouldn't have been able to get out of the garage.....i'm sure the 750 with a 60" plow coulda helped out...

With that much snow this might be the only thing that can get you around.
