I got my Tundra stuck going camping at the river. Rear axle sitting on ground & towing hitch also. Friend was in a 2WD F150 with stock tires. We did'nt even try it. Pulled my 650 up & hooked up to the frame under the tail light & hooked to ball on hitch. Tundra was in a ditch & I had to pull it uphill. Had friend get in truck & I got on quad. I slowly eased into the throttle & it raised the front end. I leaned over the bars to hold front end down & up the hill I came with that big heavy truck! I was amazed! I have had quad back to dealer for belt slipping BEFORE this. NO slipping during this pull & no riding condition could put this kind of strain on bike. I LOVE THIS MACHINE!

2fat4moto, Don't listen wheelinforlife, there's no way you would hurt your machine pulling out the Tundra.The 650 will dig big 'ol holes in the ground before you'll hurt anything.The engine will probably outlast anything, if maintained properly.

I think you're okay up to a Mack truck, anyway.lol

Thanks for the good replies. I was not posting this for help, this was posted to show how much power these quads really have! It was SOOOO cool.

I agree mostly with the guys that said won't hurt it. I'm sure that had no effect on the engine

However, I would not swap belts with you after that heavy of a pull.

nyroc, I would not change parts with you either. Looked at your site several times. That looks like some awesome riding. I try not to abuse my bike like that, but it is good to see what these bad boys can do. I also want to thank you for all the help on other threads. People like you is what these forums need!
