We went to the ATV pulls yesterday. I wasn't going to pull but my buddies all rode me pretty hard about being scared I would get beat. So I went there were 15 of us in the 1050lb 4x4 class. Me, Jim on his Rubi and 25" 589s, John on his 650 with the stock Dunflops, several Honda 450s with everything from stock to 27" Dirt Devils to 28" outlaws, a stock tired 500 Cat, a 700 Polaris and a Rancher. First to pull was a 400 Honda with 26" Dirt devils he did pretty good so they added weight to the sled and he pulled again he powered out at about 175'. Next was a 450 with 27" Vampires he powered out at 180'. Next was a Rancher with 26" 589s, she powered out at 150'. Then came me, I pulled it out the other end with power to spare Full pull! Then a few more 450s with the same results as the others. Then John on the 650 all the way full pull! Then the 700 6" short of a full pull plenty of power but just couldn't hook up. Then came Jim on the Rubi, he pulles about 185' and powers out. He ran it in low ESP first gear really hooked up good but just ran out of power. Then the big surprise a 2 stroke 300 Polaris express 2wd. I have no idea why he was pulling in the 4x4 class. Full pull with 2 different guys on it father and son. They do this regularly allmost every weekend. so it is me and the Cat, the Polaris with 2 different riders, and the 650 in the pull off.
I was first with a pull of 184.7' and spinning like crazy at the end, plenty of power. Then the 650 he ran out of traction at 177' lots of power but no traction. then the Polaris with son he goes 190' while running out of traction and power at the same time like I said he does this a lot. Then Dad on the Polaris 179 and ran out of power before he ran out of traction. I got second! But most important I have bragging rights with my buddys, I can talk all the trash I want and they can say nothing. Before anyone says that the 650 had stock tires, the 2wd Polaris had stock 25" Dulflops off of a Prarie and beat me.
It was a lot of fun and I haven't been rubbing it in too bad because you never know when things will turn on you. They didn't give trophies just cash $24 for second. I would have rather had a trophie so I could mount it on my front rack for them to see every time we go riding.
Don't let anyone tell you that a Cat is under powered, I never even came close to powering out and I was running 27" Gators aired down to 1.5lbs. I was right at the class weight of 1050lbs, allmost all of the Hondas had no added weight at all and still powered out.
