Welcome to the boards.
For plowing, all you need is 4x4, weight, and low range. A low gear or range is a must. Weight can be added. You really don't need that much power for plowing; my 400 can spin all four tires before it runs out of power, any more isn't necessary. It pushes our 60" plow fine, even when it's wet and heavy stuff. Traction is usually the first problem.
If you are looking to go cheaper, you can probably find a used wheeler with a plow already on it in your area. This would be the most cost effective, as plowing doesnt require all the benefits of a new wheeler like trail riding does (excellent reliability, warranty for service, etc).
