I am kind of recreating this thread since it was lost during the upgrade. I am going to post the original first post, and then a link to the old thread.
HERE is the link to the old thread.
Now that its here I can update with new shenanigans and mods

Saturday I stopped over by my local Yamaha dealer to check out the Kodiak's. They happened to have a brand new 2019 Armor Grey Kodiak 700 EPS for a good price.
I did also check out a 2020 non EPS model
I really liked the push button 4WD, and the Diff Lock was also a big plus. The digital display is very nice too, but I could probably live without it. Knowing that I will be plowing, and I also have some bushes I want to rip out I think the diff lock will be a big help. So I went with the EPS with a plow setup, which I had them deliver the same day. Someone bought the last winch earlier in the day, so I will grab that this week.
Checking out its off road capabilities
The plow stuff minus the winch
Parked next to my (now) tiny mower!
Even makes my bike look small!
But I am still able to get EVERYTHING in the garage somehow! Don't mine my wife's car, I was putting in new headlights and OEM fog lights for her.
This thing RIPS! I have pretty limited experience on ATV's and mostly from years ago. Last one I rode was a smaller one (maybe 400?) and it had no brakes so I was going pretty easy. This thing though, HOLY SHIT!!! I can get over 30 in my damn yard! I took it into my neighbors property which is rough but not exactly challenging, but still got though any of it with no issues.
Thanks to the guys here for the help. I think I will be glad to have the power steering when I am plowing. I also don't think I will have ANY issue no matter how much snow we get this year I am hoping this weekend I can see if it can pull out the bushes in my back yard. Check back for updates!
