Polaris Sportsman 450 H.O.
Entry-level rec/utility ATV built for farm work, hunting properties, and trail riding on a budget, with on-demand AWD and a 1,350-lb tow rating doing the heavy lifting. It's the most accessible model in the Sportsman range, and it comes pre-wired for a plow or winch so the first upgrade doesn't require rewiring the machine.
