I've seen a few rhino wreckers that are pretty cool. The problem with an atv is you dont have the weight and stability to really tow another wheeler very well. Other then the good old tow strap.

I towed a 400 big Bear out of the bush for 20 miles and averaged 35 mph for another 15 miles on the gravel road section. Towed out a 500 Scrambler , Kawaski 300 lokota and a Snowmobile as well,as long as the guy keeps the ATV in neutral I will tow him until I run out of gas no problem.

Whats the point off the wecker? Just more weight to tow out.

I was able to tow another Polaris Sportsman X2 down 5 miles of mountains, rocks, and mudholes with my X2. He had seen a moose and watched it too long. Got a stick that went in under his plastic and ripped his throttle cable up pretty bad. If I were making an ATV wrecker I would start with the Polaris Sportsman Big Boss 6x6 as a base. 2010 Polaris Sportsman Big Boss 6x6 800 ATV : Overview
