I have a 400 Prarie 4x4 and have had a plow with it since new and it does fine. Only issue might be the front shocks suspension will sag the front end down. My blade is a 60" but for yours I might suggest going with a 54" as it would fit a standard width sidewalk if you are planning to plow in town. As long as snow isn't too packed/wet and not deeper than the blade is tall you will do fine.

Also i am looking at a 2007 360. Think this a tad better than the 300?. I know my brother got a 460. That is power atv like yours his is an older model around 2002ish
Did they improve the suspension in the 2007s?

Cool

Don't know if suspension improved or not, but it's certainly newer. If in your price range and in good shape get it instead.

Its a 4x4 with low range it will plow fine.

My neighbour has a Honda 300 2WD but with chains on the back wheels and a sand bag on the front and back rack for more weight and plows snow fine.
