We are going to have a ATV pull this year at our local county fair. I have pulled a 4X4 before, but now I own a Raptor. I want to pull it mostly just to help promote the event, but I don't want to sit there and dig two holes either!

I will be pulling in the 500-600 cc 2WD class with a limit of 1100 lbs. How the heck will I be able to out-pull a fat-butt Sportsman 600? Thats with the 4WD off by the way.

I have weights that I can use, I just need to fad up some brackets to hold them. Anyone out there ever pulled there Raptor before? Any help would be great. Thank you.

some good sized paddles :-D

 

you said 500-600cc class, but the raptor is a 660cc? but anyway, i would say if its in sand or loose dirt, get some straight paddles, or a meaty tire and run like 1-2l psi. also, set the back shock to as soft as possible so that the back end squats to get more traction. Good luck man!

 

Just curious where you're going to put the chain because the raptor has no hitch.....

 

i dont think anything will be as good as a 4 wheel drive quad for somethin like that...but hey i could be wrong...paddles from you know where! lol

 

I think you will have a heck of a time keep the frt end on the ground

 

thats what i was thinking also.

 

if he puts the weights on the font it shouldnt be so bad

 

but then he wont get good traction on the back tires.

 

Using the raptor in a pulling contest is a bad idea unless you are pulling against other sport quads, but like Electricshift said, where are you going to hook up to. You don't stand a chance against a utility quad even in 2 wheel drive. You're either going to spin the tires or smoke the clutch. It just wasn't made for that.
