New to all this.

Just purchased a home that is on fairly hilly 10 acre wooded property with a 200' gravel driveway.

There are many fairly deep ravines and ridges.

Would like something I can plow snow and also ride around the property in.

Not interested in speed.  Interested in slow, casual riding around the property.

Is a UTV good for both of these wants?

Is a UTV too top heavy for trail riding?

Will have to clear trails and collecting firewood would be great.

If so, what brand/model do you recommend.

Thank you for your recommendations.

From your description, I'd say a UTV is what you'd want.  Much more comfortable than an ATV for extended use like plowing.  Plus you could have a windshield and enclosure.  No worries about being top-heavy,  nothing above shoulder level but roll cage and a plastic roof.   Plenty of options and prices ranges out there, if you can find them in stock.

Sort of decided on a Kubota because of the hydrostatic transmission.

Problem that nobody has any.

Have a dealer that will call me when one gets in that someone has ordered so I can take a look.

Hope they remember.

I bet it will be a good machine. Probably on one of those container ships we don't hear anything about any more!!! Be sure to take us some pics when its sold.

      Haven't got a side by side yet, but have been shopping.   
      Any advice welcome & I am on a limited budget, so haven't decided yet on new or used.

      New owner with questions
      By Poppateets
      I just purchased a used 2023 Massimo warrior UTV SxS 1000mx with 600 miles on it. I didn't even get a full day of riding and the driver's side rear axle broke. I'm pretty sure it was already going bad because we would hear a noise once in a while. I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems with theirs. Also looking for places to buy accessories.

      New AMP Pro Owner
      By Xov
      Just received delivery of a 2024 AMP Pro.  Thought I'd start a thread with my impressions as I use it and learn more.  There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of real-world usage information out there on this model.  Hope this will help others as they research.
      Intended Use Cases
      Fire mitigation / slash removal from a 5 acre forested and well-gamble-oaked property.  The previous owners thought as much about fire mitigation as I do about fashion: not much. Snow removal Stump pulling General hauling (rock, lumber, etc.) Weimaraner energy depletion.  Wasn't an original use case, but a nice added bonus.  Experiences So Far
      Wasn't impressed that two of the bumpers on the underside of the bed where it sits upon the frame were missing.  The metal on metal contact has damaged the powder coating and the frame.  I expect a little better QC.
      I've only put a few hours on it, so not a ton to report on usage.  It isn't quiet; it's silent.  I can't even detect an electric note from the motor. I removed (and subsequently replaced) the motor cover noticed that the motor is German and made by Schambuller.  The motor controller is Italian and made by Dana TM4.  Given the operating specs of both I found on the web, I suspect both are higher quality than the previous Navitas (which is supposed to be decent).  The motor is rated at 25 hp and 71.5 lb-ft of torque.  It feels very powerful.  All the torque is delivered instantly, if desired.
      The bed is huge and has an electric dump as standard.  Great feature but would like it to go up a bit more.  Probably not feasible from an engineering perspective, but I want and I need ;).
      Power steering is nice, but vague.  Probably common to many UTVs, but I am accustomed to more direct results from input.  Plan early and plan often.
      In our first full day of usage, we hauled about 1/2 as much slash as the entire rest of the year when I was doing it by hand cart.  I may get fatter, but I'll also get more done.  After a few days of usage, the battery meter has gone down by 1/10th. 
      Until next time...
