Charlie,

You should look at the farm utility ATV's that are out now.  JD makes a few 
as well as some other brands.  They have a little dump bed on the back and 
many of them have a bench seat design similar to a golf cart.   The overall 
length, width and weight are not much more than a large ATV and they are a 
lot more useful.  You can get them in 4wd too I believe.  Someone, JD I 
think, makes one with two rear axles that both pull.
