One Quad to consider for pulling would be the Quest 650.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Come on guys the auto's won't last like a geared machine for pulling allot of heavy weight, the kawi has problems I hear with the clutches without pulling any weight.
The truly best for pulling without a dought is
A, Bombardier traxter
B AC 500 manual

They also have the weight to pull too.

Take your pick, any auto will eventually smoke a belt if worked too hard. I've pulled some heavy weight with my 600 but I can feel the belt starting to wear from it too.
2000 Grizz 600
4400 km's, (No problems)

I have an arctic cat 500 mamual and it pulls like a bull iuse mine to pull trees out of the bush when i go for fire wood useally 3 at a time 15 to 20 feet long and10 to 16 inch in diameter it pulls it no problem. I put outlaws on it last year and it pulls even more. Havent broken anything yet. ALSO the bombardier 500 or the 650 will do the job no problem.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

The Cats are the best workers. I'm sure some of the 600+ machines are pretty capable as well, but for their size the Cats are the best. The 500 manual would be hard to beat for heavy towing.

I do believe that the Polaris Sportsman 500 HO rules the sled pulling these days and most mudding too.
