I will start by saying "I don't own a Bruin but lest face it. It really a Kodiak with a smaller engine." It has the same drive system as the Kodiak and features. I think that it will do fine in the snow and as far as plowing the power is plenty and you will love the auto trans when plowing.(Always in the right gear) As far as mud and water it will be very compariable to my Kodiak. Keep the breathers out of the water and you will be fine. I haven't had a chance to try one yet but I suspect I will not notice much difference between the two.

Hope this helps.

I've had mine in only about 12" of snow but it did fine. The stock tires suck for deep mud though, you'll want to upgrade. Haven't ever plowed with mine and probably won't, I have a tractor for that type work.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I paid $4550 OTD for mine. As far as tippy around curves, I don't notice it any more than on my Honda 300, and it steers easier because I usually have it in 2WD. I don't have any "big" hills around here and I don't go on all day long rides. I bought it to take hunting and to use around my farm. I don't ride it hard, jump with it, or run it WOT except for short distances. The only problem I've had is the screw for the fuel **** fell out.
