Get a UTV. ATVs are not designed to handle much weight above the weight of the rider. Check the specs on anything you look at. Yes, you can hang racks on both ends that will quickly overload what it was designed to handle, especially with the extended rear racks. Been there and done that before I stepped up to a SxS that is designed to handle a lot more weight.
I have a Honda Foreman 500 ATV and a Honda Pioneer 700 UTV. I only use the ATV on the trap line as a last resort.

As someone else said look at what is close by for dealers and parts. Sucks to be broke down. If you're set on buying an ATV and not a UTV. I would buy a two seater model if it's in your budget.

Depends how you run, I use a Honda 450 foreman not fast but plenty of torque if you run like June a UTV but for me I load and unload a lot and don’t want to mess with a trailer That's the same ATV I have. Not fast, but lots of power and very dependable.
We are living in a world where the intelligent must be quiet so that the no common sense people won't be offended.

Mid 90s to early 2000s Suzuki King Quad. Shaft drive, hi, lo, super low, locking differential. Electric start with backup pull start. Front and rear racks, will take a beating.

My old Honda 1986 Bigred 250 ES three-wheeler is still getting the job for me. Most reliable ride I have ever owned. Probably worth more now than when it was New
