Default advice for towing with prairie 700

Hello, I am basically using my prairie 700 in lieu of a small tractor because thats all I have right now. I use it for pulling all kinds of implements for food plots. 400lb disc, 150lb drag...etc...my question is can I do anything to keep the bike in good shape. I change the fluids on a regular basis and tow in low gear and go slow, but if there is anything I am missing please give your advice. The bike is a 2004 prairie 700. I have added mudlite 27-12x12 rears and 27 12x10 fronts. It has a ton of power and pulls the EQ without any problems but I just want to make sure i am doing everything right. Anything I should add, (bigger shocks/struts/lift kit) I dont have a huge budget but like I said I really like this quad and want to keep it in top shape. Thanks.

maybe a clutch kit made for towing? sounds like you are doing the basics to keep it going, though.

If you went up a couple tire sizes you might want to consider the clutch kit at some point. Otherwise you shouldn't have any problems towing the kinds of weights you are talking about.

Sounds good to me! X3 on the clutch kit. I have my Grizz clutched and dyno for the elevations I ride they can do the same for towing. Works GREAT! Give e'm hell!
