I can't remeber where i saw it advertised... but look at this!



Advertising it as the "easy" way to tow your quads. Am i the only one that thinks this is a bit scarey?!

That is absolutely nuts. The first thing I thought is what about the wear on your tires and they are not like a jeep or something like where you can just take off the drive shaft. Even the what about the rear/front ends. Crazy.

they probably sold about as many of them tow bars for quads as they did chevy volts.

even scarier, is that there are folks that bought both

That is illegal. Since the tires are in contact with the road surface, they need to be highway registered.

first off- it's illegal.
second, it's stupid-
I can't imagine how fast the tires wear out,
your diff gears now have tons more wear on them and it can't be good
for the tranny or clutch.
I wouldn't tow my atv 1 mile with that thing!

I would take a chance driving down the road before I'd try that.
