Yamaha can make power can't they?

 

yes they can. they may not be able to put it to the ground as well as a polaris, but IMHO thats all cuz of weight. although ill the sp700 some credit, handled pretty good considerin it was 720lbs. still prefer my scrammy, but that aint winnin no tug of wars around here thnx to the fact everyone runs sportsmans, w/ the exception of one foreman. i still refuse to get a sportsman due to my aggressive ridin style, but theyre great for what they were made for. anyone here seen an ac650 vs sp700?....always wanted to see how the cat faired

 

If you want to win a pull competition then get the biggest nastiest tires you can get on your machine, like the Agriculture tires. When you install the farmer tires fill them with calcium. This is what farm tractors use to get massive weight which = more traction. Get them aired down so the sidewalls flex some (not too much or the tread will collapse) Now that you have huge traction now you need to find the optimum hookup point, if you hook up too high the front will come off the ground too easily and you'll have to back off the throttle to not go over backwards. Even on 4x4's the main traction is on the rear of the quad, that said chain driven quads will probably have an advantage over an IRS quad because of the way the torque comes off the top of the sprocket. With the pulling power coming off the top of the sprocket this pull the axle upwards thus squats the quad creating more power transfer. It also depends on how your opponent hooks his quad, if they hook up high on the quad and you hook low then he could steal your power transfer and lift the rear of your quad while increasing his own power transfer and then increasing his total pulling capabilities. I would suggest a long tow rope to lessen this factor or a short one if your wanting to use this tatic yourself.
Another thing that would make quad pulls not equal would be when the 2 pullers applied power, if one quad applied the power a bit faster he could get the power transfer down faster and start the other quad moving which would decrease it's own pulling power (get it spinning slightly) but if he dug a hole then you'd have a harder time pulling him and it would be a stalemate. If you pulled on a hard surface such as pavement then that would change things drastically, now you would want different tires such as slicks and you would want to heat them prior to the pull

It would be very difficult to set up a fair quad vs quad pull by hooking up the bumpers to each other as there is too many factors to consider,

 

ah i can jast hook any quad up to the back of my farmall 560. haha that would be fuuuuunny.
ten quads could not even budge it. 1st gear,tork amplifier on,gas half up,yall better be reddy for a woopin. bad a$$ motherf*ck*r **** s*cker power, wooyeah that took some efort.

 

I'll hook up to you.................

My Sportsman 600 can drag my buddy's Grizzly 660 around on any surface. He might be a gnat's *** faster in a drag, but he knows better than to hook up to me. (I've dragged him about 7-8 times already, on concrete, asphault, grass, mud, snow, wet grass, gravel, etc., and all of the results are the same. The Polaris won![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I would rather have my light and agile griz than a tank that wins because its way heavier. I am sure that if you loaded the griz to the same weight it would not be so easy.

I would rather you have the Griz than me too.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

lol...i managed to outpull a sportsman 400 once on my kodiak..he had stock tire on grass...thank you 589's.

as of now, i dont even bother hookin up my scrammy.

but then again, they cant run me over if they cant catch me...

but if they do catch me im screwed, no questions asked.
