yea i guess it would do a good job of snow plowing but man when i loaded almost 400lbs in the bed the front tires looked like they was gonna come off the ground.it's probably the best hunting utv outthere because it's narrowness and the 4x4 system .i would give it a good rating on the hunting and getting around the outdoors but work is like you said it's a lite worker. now i did do a mudders clutch up grade with a heavyduty belt and she pulls really good but if you put a trailer on it with any kinda tonge weight she squats to the ground bad.there are some shocks out there for 700.00 +dollars but i just can't see payin that much for some shocks .thats one of the reasons i was considering the air shocks .don't get me wrong i love my rhino and love the places it can go but to me it needs about 15/20 more hp to be a good worker.the 4x4 system is probably one of the best they have out there other than the fact the rear end stays fully locked at all times.thats another thing they could do is put in a rear dif unlocker .i undersand you on the 30% now .lol most people try to stay clear of the belt driven utv's but i'll tell you this with the heavy duty belt and clutch kit it will snap a axles like it's butter before the belt gives any.one day i'm gonna get me another worker utv because of the heavy hauling i do or try to do.lol
