    Ive pulled a 17' boat, car, and a full size truck all with my '83 ATC200. (not all at the same time though!!! ) Just last night we used it to pull a transmission straight out the back of a 85 Chevy Blazer that we badly needed to replace.

    The truck was a '78 Chevy full size fleetside (6'' lift, 33" tires, 3/4 ton axles) and it weighs well over 2000 lbs!!! Trike pulls it without a problem.

    Years ago, I used my 110 to drag old RR ties through the woods to make a bridge. They weigh around 300lbs. Gotta love that low range!

    Well if you read this vintage yamaha ad, http://www.adclassix.com/ads/80yamaha125atv.htm youd see they can pull a 2 ton chevy - with the chevys brakes on. It makes this claim in reason 5 middle column. Why would they lie.

    Yet another great reason to own a 3 wheeler. You wouldnt see any quad seller using that in their ad. My friends 06 Yamaha Grizzly 400 can only pull 1100 lbs. (http://www.yamaha-motor.com/outdoor/.../features.aspx ***under 'Addional Features') Thats a 4wd model. That yamaha ad holmstrom posted the link to was only a 2wd model and could pull 4000 lbs!! I think it just goes to show the time and effort thats put into the newer quads and their quality also.

    There is no way in hell it could pull a 2 ton chevy, it would hardly pull it with the brakes off.

    My 200s pulled a 2001 chev half ton in neutral and that took a lot out of it.

    I'm not sure what they were smoking when they came up with that ad, but it must of been good.
