Default Yamaha warrior towing capability

I am going to get a trailer hitch for my 2000yamaha warrior.If I got one will it be worth it and could it pull big trailers?What do you think the max towing weight can be.I am mainly going to use it to pull a trailer with my chainsaw and rakes and the brush I cut down to make some trails at my cattle lease.Also where can I get a trailer hitch and what size ball is the standard size?

I don't know if I would pull a trailer with my warrior but i would think it could pull a small lawn trailer. All you would need for that is a place to drop the trailer hitch pin through. You are probably going to have to fab it up yourself though, because I have never seen any kinda hitch for a warrior.

I used to tow a Swisher mower with my Warrior. But they are not really very heavy and the weight is centered well. IIRC the Warrior hitch is only rated for a couple hundred pounds (250-300 maybe) to begin with.

A small yard trailer filled up would be too much..... I think a basic 10 cubic yard trailer will hold around 600-800 pounds max, and that would be way too much for a Warrior.

For what its worth...I attached my dad's little lawn mower trailer to the chain guard to pull my two kids around the yard. My kids are 4 and 5, so together they only weight ~125 lbs and the trailer itself can't be over 50 lbs. I am 220lbs myself. My warrior still pulls like they are not even there. For what its worth, I did go down to a 12 tooth front sproket, so that, combined with my mods, gives me a little more low end grunt than a stock warrior.
