I am 16 years old, 5'11" and am about 150lbs. I live in Vermont. I need some advice about getting a ATV. I have been looking around and I only have about $4000. I was think about a suzki z250 and I wonderd if that woud get up steeper hills and go in the snow or if you would recoment something else.

Used 400EX and you can keep a grand in your pocket, with a bit more oomph than the Z250 will have, plus you can work a manual clutch. That should work for jumping.

I think one of the Scrambler or Wolverine guys will chime in though since you mention mud and snow.

If I stud the 400ex tires. Will it go throw the snow good? Will it go up and down hills? I have a snowmobile so I could pack down trials and my Dad said that his 90cc 3weeler whent throw the snow fine. Any other things I should consider for snow plese tell me.
