Default Which is the best machine for me?

hi, i am looking for a machine for my farm. I have a very small budget so i wont be spending really over $1000.
I have found two options and i was wondering which would be a better choice.

the first is a 1998 trailblazer. I know this isnt great for trail riding but would it work?
he is asking $1000 b/o. He says runs nice, 2wd, electric start, reverse, racks


the next is a 1995 polaris sportsman 400
this person says 2WD, freshly rebuilt mtr, 2000# winch, 48" snowplow, BN bearings in frt, 2 cylcle, new starter, batt, rear hubs, GC. he is asking $1350. So maybe i can get it for $1000? or $1100.


we will be mainly using our machine for our hunting camp. Just to get around. We will probably also be using it to go around the property. Is a 2-cycle ok in the winter or is not a good thing to have?

If the sportsman works i say go for that, the racks and winch would be pretty useful for farm use and hunting.
