The wolverine is a good bike, proven pretty reliable.
It's a bit down on power compared to some of theother sport 4x4's such as the polarises, but manages to hold its own pretty well. I wouldnt think it fit for plowing snow with a 60 inch blade, it doesnt have the gearing for pure work task such as that, perhaps with a smaller blade.

Im not sure, I dont think the wolverine was designed for a blade. Not that it couldnt handle one, but a smaller one, no larger than 48" I would think at the max.
If your looking for something to plow with, AND hit the trails. Maybe a Kodiak, or something similar, with selectable 2/4wheel drive and performance on the trails on par with the Wolverine. A Wolverine is a great trail bike, but its designed for light work, and you need to keep that in mind when you are looking for a quad.
Hope it suits you!

You should be able to handle it, my girlfriend can handle it no prob, and she only weighs 115.
I havent found one thing i dont like about mine. I added the k/n power kit (filter,jets) and a fmf megamax 2 pipe.

It runs pretty nice now

I'm 15 5'8" 150 lbs with a 2001 Wolv. I am very happy with mine but I do agree it isn't geared for grunt. if thats what you plan on doing mostly thats not good but I imagnine you wont be and for riding it is a great bike. I have taken it through every type of terane and It runs great. It tackels all sorts of climbs and bogs. I would say you definatly need a full body skid plate and I would sugest CV boot guards for a precaution. I love mine a bunch. It does everything well and is although not as large as some ATVs, very peppy. And at your size anything bigger would be a little much to handle. I have had mine for a little over a year and it runs great. If you have any other questions please ask me

I bought the Kodiak instead, because I wanted to plow snow. I have a moose 60" blade with a Warn winch. Love it and I make tons of money with it plowing and having fun. I tried a woverine and felt hit did not have the gearing power. I you are buying a winch. DO NOT buy super winch they bind up while rewinding the blade up and fray the cable.
