That sounds interesting to me. If you insist on hooking them up rear to rear, it would take anything out there for a ride of their lives, 4x4 or not. It wouldn't be an issue of tug-of-war, but a tug-of-parts. Good idea though still the same. Does anyone out there actually do this??

Don't ever try to pull a Polaris. Those things are like lead. Dead weight! With my Rincon weighing roughly 620 lbs wet and the Polaris weighing well over 750lbs wet it will be hard to pull them away! LOL
Anyway, if you pull someone close to same weight it all comes down to how well your tires bite. I could run the Rinny up through all 3 gears trying to pull someone with these stockers and it will just spin and spin. Tug offs are not accurate though (in the dirt anyway). I once saw my friends stock 300 with bald tires TIE with a 400 sportsman with Rawhides on it.
Pulling a sled is a better way to tell who can pull more.

Hondarider300:
You probably should use the rear swing arm if you want to pull with a ex. Be careful not to damage anything and you should use a strap not a chain.
It would be better to use a utility bike for tug of war.

No Doubt the sled is the truth teller but it's still fun to hook em up.
My friend's uncle made his wife drive his 2wd 3500 chevy and he would use his 4x4 bronco in a pull off. His wife would pull him all over the place with the chevy even when he used 4 low in the bronco. Pretty rough on a truck but fun to watch!
