Towing?

[Braaap12]

Been fortunate so far but I've always wondered what would happen if I had to tow a nother sled out with my 2014 pro? I've seen how thin the rear tunnel is. Anyone done it?

yep, no big deal. I even had a Pro tow out my boosted Apex back in 2012 when I had a bolt break on the lower chain case gear. We were 15 miles from the truck, off trail in 2 ft of fresh. It took several hours, many stucks and lots of bitching but no sleds were damaged Eric

Towed out a 11 M8 last year with my 3 inch tracked 12 Pro. No problem at all.

Towed out a 15 Cat with the 14 Pro... I love reading all the stories about broken towed Pros... never seen that but I have towed a couple cats for sure!

There's still lots of strength there if you rig up your slings proper. Towing with these sleds is very nice (only if you absolutely have to). Especially compared to the old 900!

Pulled a dead 10 RMK 30 miles into Alpine a few years ago with my pro, bringing it, but downstream most of the way. No issues, just don't pull with the stock rear bumper, CF or alum.

Yes I have towed sleds with my Pros. I keep a close eye on temps. I put snow on the tail end to enhance the cooling capacity of the radiator system. Otherwise just pull steady and at moderate speed. I've seen my buddy jerk stuck sleds out with his Pro time and time again with those stretch ropes and he has not damaged his sled. I can't bring my self to do it but he does without fear.

Pulled a 900 out with my 2011 the 2nd day I rode it. Pulled an m8 out last year. Stock bumper, just hooked on the sides, not the middle

I was nervous about it too especially with my 163".
I put on the Van Amburg rear bumper to add some beef. We use snowbunjes a lot and I wanted to be able to give a good yank. This bumper attaches to the top of the tunnel beneath the tail light and flap,as well as the sides.

That was a 14 Cat and was traded long ago and it towed out 3 or 4 sleds in its time, and yup it happens but I have towed out every brand, mostly Doos but second is Poo, all towing done with stock bumper of course unlike the Pro mentioned above, that Pro had a large aftermarket bumper with trailer hitch made for towing a sleigh, so NO a stock Poo did not tow out a Cat Brett
