What was the heavier thing you pulled with your trike?
Today I pulled a silage wagon with my trike. Sure the wagon was empty but I was able to pull it in the driveway. Here a picture of a similar wagon. The trike look so small pinned to the wagon it's funny.

i might have you beat...lol

not for the load but for what i pulled it with.


i pulled my neighbors 4x4 s-10 up our hill with him in it (a extra 400 pounds easy) with a 78 atc 90


the scary thing about that wagon is what if it would start pushing you....i have heard of farmers getting hurt and killed doing that kind of thing

Yes it can defenitely push you if you go down hill. I thought of that. I wanted to know you good was the low range.

We pulled my friend Tim's 86 TRX250R two and a half miles in the sand with my moms 250SX when his intake bolts fell out.

I towed my 83 250R 3 miles in the sand with my dads 86 250R when my 83 topend siezed solid

A honda recon with a 200lb rider on it. Those 250cc(actual 229) quads are boring! Bike broke down on the trail..

This was on my 86 200x. It pulled fine until I got to a big hill, I made it but not by much.

When I was younger I worked for an Ag service company and used to stage the anhydrous tanks with my 200x.

I was not on a trike but pulled a full size chevy truck out of our lake at the boat launch.

i pushed I am schmee's 250r with him on it on an atc 70 using only only my toe to push his grab bar.

the 70 was just rolling along, couldn't get into fourth though, not enough torque. lol

My 6 x 12 loaded enclosed trailer. Had the back tires of my big red almost flat. It pulled it but had to stand on the front rack to steer it when in reverse so it would grip.

We pulled a chevy 350 longbed with a quad cab up the slope into the garage using the battle trike. The 350x pulled out an el camino with a bed full of scrap that had been sitting for about 15 years and sunk to the frame in my buddy's back yard.

Two 855 cummins engines weighing around 2500-3000 pounds a piece on a 18 foot car hauler trailer with my ATC 125. It could move it in reverse but didn't quite have enough to get it going forwards. If I had the stock sprocket on it then I'm sure it could have done it without too much trouble. Didn't help it was in the grass.

When I was around 10 y.o. in my town a guy organised a sled pulling competition. Everyone took his lawn tractor, trike and quad to pull the weight transfer machine. Wish I took pics. Sure enough there was only some 125m and some atc-200 but it was very cool.

Ya most of those things have wheels on them...LOL I pulled a storm downed tree about 1.5 feet wide, with nothing but a tow strap, and long with all the branches digging into the ground with my 185. I had to move it so I could get my chainsaw into all the places. I dragged it about 100 yards. I only stalled it once and it took sometime to get it that far. I love my work horse 185!!!

I have pulled lots of things with my BigRed. Like a 12.5 kw generator on wheels, an a few cars in my yard. But the only one I have on film is of me pulling my nephew on his 200 s trike back up the hill after fouled his spark plug.
