For what you are wanting to use it for a UTV would be a better option, but will also cost more. I have a 2006 Yamaha Rhino, the last year of carburetors, that I have owned since new. It has over 4000 miles and is used to plow snow with a 5 foot Tusk plow, and mow with a 5 foot swischer mower. It has hauled wood, dirt, deer, elk and camping gear for all those miles with only a rear seal replacement, and us still running the factory belt. It was used for trail riding until I got a 2011 Polaris 800 RZR that is a ton of fun but not a plow or mower friendly machine. I would definitely consider rhino or Polaris ranger that is a 500 or larger with fuel injection. Power steering would be good too but has just recently been available in UTV's so might be out of your price range. I plow over a 1/2 mile of drive plus around my shop and garage and after a 10 to 12 inch snowfall can complete the job in less than 2 hours. One last thing to consider is both of these UTV's have differential lock on both ends and a seat the wife can ride in comfortably. Oh yeah, you can also put a cab on it if she doesn't like the wind in her hair.
