looking for honest input on multi use SXS purchase

I’m a die hard dirt bike guy (enduro/hare scrambles), but here in northern NJ, the winters are getting longer every year and I don’t want to go through another one without something to ride.

many of my buddies have RZR’s, both 800s and 900s, and they all love them…I’ve held off for a while, but now my daughter is itching to drive something off road. So I figure I can justify it to wifey as a multi purpose purchase.

1. something to use in the snow
2. get our daughter into off road
3. use for gathering fire wood for our backyard fire pit
4. possibly plow the driveway

I live in an area that is very friendly to off road vehicles and have 100’s of miles of trails at my front door. I just have to drive an 1/8 mile down the road to access the woods.

I like the RZR 800/900s models, but they seem to be pure sport…meaning very little bed space for other uses.

I’ve got about 7k to work with, so it’s either find a well used machine, or finance a new one. If I go new I don’t want to spend much more that 12-13k

seems I can find decent used RZR’s around here for 6-8k. I’ve been looking hard at the new yamaha wolverine rspec and although it probably no where near as fast as the RZR it seems like it would satisfy my need pretty well.

I don’t need to go blazing fast, as our terrain is very hilly and extremely rocky tighter trails. If I want to go really fast I’ll take my dirt bike.

looking for opinions and advice..

Thanks
