Default Is there a dual-purpose ATV?

I am buying an ATV for my husband for Christmas, and time is running out! He wants one for deer hunting and for working. He will need one which will handle a scrape blade, plow, and front end loader attachment. Is there such a machine? I think he prefers Honda. Thanks so much! I appreciate any help.

I was hoping to get something in the $5000 range but may need to go higher than that. We are moving into a new house and there is a huge yard - does he need a zero-turn radius lawnmower too or is there an attachment comparable for the UTV. (Please forgive my ignorance in such matters!)

I am sure he wants four-wheel drive. We are in the mountains and there will be snow and steep grades.

Thank you. Anyone else who has any suggestions, please feel free to post. I don't know if there are other brands I should consider. I understand Hondas last a long time.

Hmmm....Had a little extra time on my hands so I did a little research...
One thing you should ask your husband is if he wants and automatic or a manual.

You are so cool! Thank you so much! I will look at the Honda Rancher. I think he has decided against the front-end loader and will be happy with a winch (not the female kind, though he might be happy with one of those, too!!), a plow, and a scrape blade.
