Unfortunately not for $14,1999. The ASV is plenty powerful (105HP Cat Diesel) but has a low enough ground pressure to not chew up the terrain too badly. With this rig and the right attachments you can do lots more than just push earth around. I'd highly recommend it - but think that ASV has discontinued it - I think their new models come with Perkins engines.
