I'd avoid the utility quads. I know you want to use it to plow snow...but isn't that what you have a wife for?! (joking). We got one snow fall last year. I used my 400ex to remove snow: donuts in the driveway!!! Knowing you like a little speed, you might want to go with something else. Perry/Wayne will support the utility quad...but I'm fairly certain you'll tire quickly. If you're buying new, you should really look in the honda 700...it has rear independent suspension. Also, look in to the new Bombardiers/Cannondales. I cant remember the make, but Hinds carries this quad i speak of. they're more like a sport quad but they have rear independent suspensions and they're fully automatic. Also, you can switch from 2 to 4 wheel drive. The salesman spoke highly of this and a friend did some research and stated that these were really good. you might be able to attach a plow for the one snow day per year.
