I was going to ask how smaller, lighter atvs pulled better than larger, heavier ones. Smaller=less power, less weight for traction.
Bigger=more power, more weight for traction

 

I've pulled out a jeep with the ole brute and a honda 300 using two winches but then again fails to pull out a yota that couldn't get cranked in a hole. We moved him all the way to the back of the hole but getting him up the incline wasn't happening.

Pretty much if they aren't buried and being pulled up a steep incling you can generally get them out but sometimes you just need more weight.

 

I've seen a Rubicon pull of fullsize chevy 1500 4x4 outta the ditch without too much trouble. But every situation is obiously diffrent. But if you have a winch and some pulleys. 2 or 3 it will triple the pulling power of your winch and with alittle reverse assistance you can pull a hell of alot.
A good jerk strap works good too. They stretch and are easier on things for that same reason. And it looks pretty cool when you can see the strap stretching back and forth and the vechiles getting closer to breaking free.

 

You can pull out most trucks with a quad if you get the right angle, and strap the rear of the quad to a tree or something solid and then use your winch and a ****** block to pull the stuck rig out.
It doesnt matter how big your quad is.

 

Do what you will but you won't ever catch me hooking my atv between a tree and a 2-3 ton vehicle. If something is going to give, it will definitely be your atv. No flame intended.

 

Like bing said. DIG.. you guys could have pulled him out pretty easy if you did some prep work. like Digging out his whole vehicle and packing down the snow all around..
