I am going to save up all my money for the rest of the year and I am probably going to get a 4X4 with it. I am only 14 so I will probably only have about $1000 to work with. Alls I want to do is plow snow and go through mud water and snow. speed means NOTHING to me. What should I get I am open to any brand of 4X4, as long as it's got enough power to spin mud tires. WHAT SHOULD I GET ????

Killer-I would say just about any 4x4 with a 400cc engine or higher should work fine for you. Take a look at the Honda Foreman 450 or if you want an auto transmission maybe a Yamaha Kodiak. A nice thing with both of these machines is that they both have in/out 4wd for the 2001 models. Good luck. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

If I were you you I would Sell That 250R. And say you sold that for 2,500 and add that 1,000 and you have $3,500.00 that will buy a Decent Machine. And For "Spinning Mud tires" I dont think so. I can Do do Doughnuts with Spyder Track Tires on my lt 250. It Can Just barrely Get the Wheels Spinning I Dont Think a 4x4 will.

Hope that Helps.

Sorry there Killer, I stupidly assumed you were using the $1000 for a downpayment. To my knowledge there are no 4x4 atvs that cost 10,000 new from the shop? If all you got is $1000 total to spend, well....good luck.

I totally agree with these guys.IF and WHEN you find a 4x4 ATV for a grand,its going to more than likly be a POS.You say you allready found about 20 of them around a grand?Please tell us of all your differant choices?Any 4x4 for a grand is going to be more problems than its worth,unless you get REAL LUCKY?No chance in hell of getting lucky with 20 of them.You were'nt dreaming this were you?
