I need some recommendations on a utillity atv for me I am 6' 4" and about 350 lbs. I am wondering what size class I should get I was thinking 700. It will mostly be for trails, some mud and maybe some snow pushing.

You can never have too much power.  Just go test drive all of them and buy the one that fits you best for the money.  I wouldn't get anything less than a 650.

With your size, you are going to want a larger class machine.  Just go test drive some machines.  For what you are wanting to do I would look at the 500 class machines,  you can save some money and you don't need all the power of the bigbore motors.

  Bigger motors  will be faster , everywhere .  My first wheeler was a 500 polaris .   Had plenty of power for plowing snow , pullin equipment and general riding .  Deep snow and mud was its weekness, just cant have too much power as gunner says .  Not many around riding wheelers bigger than me and my 500 was a great machine .

     I like to ice fish and that means you gotta get to the fish , snow or no snow.   My 500 just didnt have the speed to handle deep snow .   Speed costs , how fast do you want to go....

How much experiance to you have with an atv? Use that in your choice also. Dont put yourself on a machine that is bigger than what you have experiance to handle.
