Very cool! I'll just refer people to this video if the Polaris weight issue comes back up. Thanks for posting that!

As long as he was in low range there shouldn't be any harm done to the belt.

Listen again to the vid, that was in low range and very little throttle. There should be no slipping of the belt as it should have been fully engaged. I've ridden sleds for many years and have burned belts. I would never pull anything with my 800 that would burn the belt. It actually pulled relatively easy. However, I was not going to press my luck and go like a mad man. I was quite surprised at the torque of the 800. Again, that was part throttle!

BTY, the vid of the fusion is on my website--go check!!

ahah! 117MPH nice!

anyway, you should have tried pulling the truck up the hill! might want to weight down the front though! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] when you were pulling the 150, was it in AWD or 2x4?

That was up hill - It was in awd. With the position of my hitch and the hook on the truck, it was below the center of gravity so it should have spun rather then flipping if it was more then it could handle.

BTY, I forgot to specify which vid it was you wanted - here is the link:

It was under 2-5-05 Babcock:

Fusion idling, reving, and slight throttling through woods....
