The 40 next to me in southern MN just went for $800k. Nothing special about it. Crappy ag land and decent, but not great, hunting. A neighbor bought it just because she didn’t want new neighbors building a house there.
We use our tracked machine with a blower and wheeled machine with the snow bucket. The tracks do fine, but we don’t have any steep hills. I wouldn’t use the tracked one with the bucket, though.
Why not get a mid-drive so you can take advantage of the gearing? Mine will climb any hill that you can get a bike up without flipping over backwards. Dual motor would gain me nothing. It has no issues getting me and critters out.
