No problem she will tow, don't these atv's have a pull weight 1600lbs
You one of the lucky guys get to go from garage to trails no trailer involved

 

Yes it will..

This load is about 1,500kg of gravel... And yes i did tow it on the public road.

5 metric long log about 23pcs.
This start to be heavy to tow.
These picture I still have old worn out tyres.
But trailer need third axle for more carrying capacity..

 

Will she tow? I don't know.
But she has a nice pony tail.

 

Too Funny - I was Talking about the outy 😉

 

What does this portable bandsaw weigh? About the same as a car?

 

That's impresive!

 

I jocky my trailer around the yard, but the way the receiver mounts through the rear diff makes me REALLY nervous

 

trick is have the ball as close to the diff as possible. Less leverage. I made my own insert.

 

Has anyone heard reports of a broken diff due to overload? What kind of load were they hauling?

@Freewill - I seem to recall a post you made about that insert. Can ya post another picture of it?

I have a tough time judging 1600 pounds. It isn't like there is a scale close by to get a reference. I guess that's about 2X an outlander.

With a well distributed load the tongue weight should be minimal as Bomb said. That rating must be with the force exerted straight back.

Considering how these units are used at times a tongue weight rating would be nice to know.


Cavmedic your not alone in bouncing that shish kabob off things. Rocks love to find it regardless of how much we try to avoid.

Time to make a stubble. Sometimes short and stubble is better

I have wondered about the tongue weight rating as well and after reading this topic I checked the operator's guide. Guess what I found? It's in there in the specifications section - go figure. I won't list mine to avoid confusion but tongue capacity is also mentioned in the safety section with a caution to include the tongue load in the overall load limit of the machine as well as proper load distribution. Another thing I wasn't aware of until just now - the maximum towing capacity is for trailers with brakes. No trailer brakes more than cuts the capacity in half. Lastly, BRP recommends using their drawbar.

 

Who would have thunk it??? Brake controller on an ATV..... another good find!!

 

so much for a rush patent 🤬

 

I have a brake controller on mine. Came with my Bosski tandem axle trailer.

 

So how does that work, exactly? Just a relay powered off the bike's brake light switch? Then adjustable assist on the controller?

 

Also make sure you are towing in low gear

 

Mount the controller somewhere on your machine. Mine is under the seat in the battery compartment since I am using a RV/Marine battery in the original radiator hole.

Hook controller battery wire to the + post on the battery. Hook brake trigger wire to brake light circuit. Connect ground to chassis or - battery terminal. Run the brake output wire to the trailer. Make sure a ground wire is used for the trailer. Since I have lights and a fuel pump in my tandem axle trailer, I used a 7 way RV plug to connect the trailer to my machine.
