    Towing question

    I just picked up a hunting camp that's about 1-1.5 miles in on a dirt road from the main parking lot.
    Since I don't have a truck, I plan on hooking up my 4x6 ATC trailer up to my 1982 ATC200 to bring in supplies. Does anyone see a problem with doing this?

    You could tow a 4x4 quad with your atc-200. I say no problem has long has you have good brakes.

    Remember if you give it a handful of gas that frontend will come off the ground.

    Kind of rude but maybe that just my interpretation.

    Heck yeah. That thing will pull that and then some Yup the front wheel will come up so beware. Corse you could be the coolest guy ever pulling a trailer while riding a wheelie (if you do get some video..lol)

    Thanks for the advice! The "official" Honda towing capacity is so low it's absurd so I wanted to see what people really did with their trikes.

    It will be very cool to unload my ATC from the trailer and then hook up the same trailer to it.

    Taken directly from the manual from my 1982 200:
    Max drawbar pull: 20 lbs
    Weight on hitch point: 200 lbs

    These figures are low to me, so that's why I asked.

    Well, being that his user name is "methmonster420" it makes sense

    I've seen some of the shaft drive trikes pull some crazy loads
