Default Heaviest items ever towed with ATV

Back when I still lived in town, my truck got a flat with my boat behind it parked in the street, back then I only owned a 85 Yamaha Moto4 200, so I used that to back a 16 foot Alumnacraft Classic Deluxe ( a fairly big boat) up a steep driveway into the garage, the back tires were almost squatted flat from the tongue weight, and it barely moved, but I managed to get it up the driveway and parked.

On christmas eve me and two of my buddies pulled out my dads 3/4 ton diesel that was burried to the axels after trying to pull my grandfathers 3/4 ton truck and the company truck out of the field that they had parked them in before we recieved 3 in. of rain. I was on my 400 kodiak my buddies were on my 185s 3 wheeler and my 200m 3 wheeler. we had all three trucks tied together and in neutral after a few wheelies and ropes snapping we pulled the trucks about 200ft onto the road where we then had to wash them.

It was fun but sucked at the same time!

I have pulled many downed trees afteer storms. My largest load was a 18 ft fishing boat. It may not seem like much but with that tounge wieght and IRS it did slip my belt a few times while going up hills. Ran funny after that pull, got a new belt and it works fine today.

my friend on his old quadrunner 500 pulled a Mack 10 wheeler. they were changing the oil and he didnt feel like walkin the 250ft every trip for the oil, so he hooked up the 500. him, his dad, uncle, and brother all sat on it, with his other uncle in the truck. it moved it.

I lost a fuel pump a half mile from home on an 86 sentra junker I had and while the car isnt too heavy, I was able to pull it home. It got really good when I went to pull it up the rest of my cement driveway to the carport up a pretty good incline, my tires were spinning on the pavement and it worked it pretty hard! It wasnt until after I got the car where I wanted it that I realized the emergency brake was on....

yeah, that would suck. The Ebrake on that little car worked pretty good though.. good enough to lock up the rear wheels. But somehow the little 400 pulled it up.

I think I have you all beat. I pulled somewhere around 200 bushel of soybeans in a killbro 385 wagon up a fairly good grade up to our house. This was with a 1993 350 big bear. I was in low range and by the time I made it to the top of the hill I had went from 4th down to 1st and was just starting to loose rpms when all of a sudden they started to come back up. When I got up to the shop and finally got the wagon stopped. Dad comes up to me and say don't you think the D17 would have been a more worthy canidate. I just looked at him and smiled and said I made it didn't I. To that he shook his head and said barely.
