the 400 would be a great machine. get in a bing just toss the diff lock on and youre out like nothing. for plowing i usually harden the suspension 1-2 clicks, makes for a better plow ride, but trail riding i keep mine softer to absorb the terrain. if speeds not what youre looking for the 400 is a great utility machine. make sure you get the FIS model though. (fully independent suspension)
