Default Thunder Cat work horse ? or Race car ?

I been search around all i can find is that this machine is very quick. . .

Dose the thunder cat 1000 Have a low gear ?

Would it stand up to being used as a work horse ?

I would like to get the Thunder Cat with the brush guard, matching rear bumper, 3000LB winch, and 26's on 14's.

I'm looking for a dual purpose machine. some thing i can put in low gear work it hard than kick it up into high gear fly. . .

work it like the Diesel race it like the DVX. . .[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

It will pull anything you want to pull, I think it has 3.1s or 3.0 gears but it will pull anything, its not just a race quad but something to use for hard work, it pulls better than anything els I have ridden, 3 place snowmobile trailer loaded does not slow it down, but you lose traction on pavement though so be careful, I pulled a ford wind star out of a field today and when i was pulling it it acted as there was no load accept for when you hit the gas and light up the tires but other than that you cant really tell anything is there. Anyways it will pull more than anything els to and on top of that it will smoke anything in a race.

I do have to say i didn't think it would have any trouble. . .

I from time to time may use this to pull my 2.5 ton M-275 in and out of the shop !
My Rubicon will only crawl with it till get to the gravel then she slips and hop's with 1 guy on each rack it still slip but the Rig dose creep forward. . . so for the whole 3ft it moved i still had to fire it up and back it out. . .

I hate having to fire up a cold motor just to move the truck and shut it right back off. . so the T-Cat would have to Tug this beast about 25FT or so 75FT tops every now and than its all flat land. . .
