Default heaviest load

ok, whats the heaviest load hauled or towed yall had on your 4 wheeler? one time i tried to pull an old chicken wire fence out of the ground that was half buried. using my king quad in super lo range with diffrential lock, my dad sitting on the rack and a few logs on the front for weight, still spun all 4 tires and couldnt pull it out. had to use the farmall tractor.

heaviest load towed was an 18' tandem trailer loaded with logs. the tired on the trailer were rubbing on the fenders it was loaded so full, but the quad pulled it around without any issues.

Cool haha

Well with my 95' big boss(converted 4x4) I use it to haul my car hauling trailer with my other two quads on to park it, always 2wd low. Its doesn't even hesate but its kinda tricky backing up a 16' trailer with a quad. its also Pretty funny when a cop comes rolling down the street and I come the other way pulling a trailer full of Quads with another quad LOL

Yet another King Quad. Years ago, I needed to manuver a dump trailer to a tight spot behind a house on a remodel project. The dump trailer weighs in at 1,700 pounds empty and we filled it up with debris. When we pulled it out the total load had to be at least 4,000 pounds - probably more. 4wd low with two guys hanging on the front and rear racks for extra traction.

It pulled it OK.............Didn't stop too good.

I also tow my 18' fiberglass boat,motor,trailer and launch it , I have towed a pontiac grand prix out of a ditch a few winters ago. I have also towed several moose in the trailer.

I pull 800-900 lbs. of wet firewood up and down some steep hills in a trailer behind my X2. As was said before, doesn't brake to well going downhill with a load. I pulled an industrial wood chipper that we were using up a hill when our 3/4 ton trucks with locking rear ends were spinning on the grass. Hooked it up to the X2 and it went right up the hill and onto the dirt road where the trucks had traction. Weighed somewhere around a ton +.
