Need advice on buying a PW

Ok, here's my situation: I own about 180 acres in Maine, and plan on retiring in a couple of years to start a big orchard, harvest some wood, etc. The terrain on half of the property is pretty rough and hilly, but it has some old woods roads running through it so I know it's accessible. So, I was thinking about buying an old power wagon as a work truck (i.e. an old "brush truck"). Would this be suitable? I'm looking for something in ready-to-work condition. I'll probably put a snow plow on it, carry a water tank for irrigation, move landscaping granite, things like that. In short, I'm going to work this truck pretty hard, but it won't be abused.

I've never owned a power wagon, but from what I've read, it would be just the type of vehicle I'm looking for. The only other vehicle that would handle my terrain is a small bulldozer, but that would get pretty old after a while. Any comments? Should I take the plunge and buy one?

Thanks in advance!
