What's the heaviest thing you've towed with your quad? Tell us what kind of atv you have, engine size and post pics if you've got em. Let's see those workhorses.

Cool, I only have a Recon 250 so I probably won't be pulling anything quite that big but I hope to be able to clear some small stuff off the trails if necessary. I've always wondered if mine could pull a small bush-hog? Hopefully I can save up enough to try it one day.

You might be amazed at what a quad can pull esp if you have low gear and 4x4 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]!!!

I only have a Suzuki Ozark 250 but I am surprised at its power. I've pulled my friends ATV out of 2 feet of pure muck before. His tires were completely slick with that water goo.

My Eiger pulled a 1400lb. camp-trailer up a moderate hill without any hesitation. The tow-rating on my quad is 1000lbs. I probably wouldn't tow more than 500lbs. for a long distance, nor do I think I'll ever need to, but I'm sure it could move at least 2000-2500lbs. around the yard.

my eiger 400 has pulled a 3 person jet ski when the engine compartment was filled with water with a 180lb guy on it up a 200yd hill with about a 40 degree slope which weighed about 1500 in all

I routinely pull a 5x8 utility trailer loaded with firewood with my '07 Polaris X2 500. It has a rated 1225 lbs towing capacity, but I've exceeded that on more than one occasion. Smoked the belt once (while trying to pull in high).

No pics, but I've dragged trees the size of telephone poles up a hill and off the road.
