Has anybody hooked their Big Bear up to a Polaris on pavement?

I think that would lead to some damaged parts! One I can think of is the polaris belt drive is not made for that. Id personally keep it off cement or something is going to break on either machine.

I don't know about the Big Bear, but the Sportsman has an awesome low gear. If the drive belt is affected, it'll be after a good portion of the tires wear out. If the Big Bear has a deep low gear, I suppose the same will happen, just no belt problems. About who will win the tug, if you want an even competition, tie both quads together at the same height. From then on, whoever has the highest combined weight will have the advantage. Don't forget that tires, and power does make a difference. If both quads have a good low gear and OEM tires, I'd give the vote to the heavier Polaris. If you can get to outweigh the Polaris and rider combined, you've won the tug.
