I plan to post this in several categories, so heads up: I'm planning to use my Grizz to disc, harrow and spread seed for a small 1 acre food plot. My concern is wear and tear on the transmission or gear box?? Has anyone ever had problems with their ATV, pulling equipment.....I plan to use the Biologic spreader and disc (350 lbs). Any suggestions, should I use a heavier oil, trans fluid etc.....I just drop the bike off for the new kit for better air flow, and a oil change. The bike is 1 year old, 19 hours on it.

Thanks for any advice!

 

I don't think you are going to hurt that Grizzly at all. It is a utility quad after all. I think you are pretty safe until around 1,200lbs. I have seen them pull more very easily day after day without anything going wrong. My friend uses his to pull broken down semis so I think you will be fine.

 

broken down semis! Chit......I didn't think they were that powerful! Darn!
