Christopheraaron Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 This is probably a really stupid question but I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of power those small kids ATVs have? Would it be enough to tow a small ice fishing sled? Would be kind of cool to use one out on simcoe to get further out than you can by walking.

hockeyplayerz_14 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 you may be ok to pull one out, but its only 2x4 so you'll be slipping, with my yamaha 450 I'm usually in 2wd unless theres snow and/ or i get stuck , you never know it could be a good investment.

Christopheraaron Posted December 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Never really looked into this topic, what kind of license is required? Just a driver's license or is there another test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.brock Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 I took a decent ride on my bro-inlaws kid's Grizzly 125, I came away with the impression that "wow, this little thing is all you really need", great in the tight bush trails, light weight to lift when necessary, simple to maintain and fix if necessary if the snow is deep or there's slush on the ice, you're buggered, if not, sure it would tow a small hut what make/ model are you looking at?

Christopheraaron Posted December 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Haven't really looked at any different models, just thought it would be an interesting idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.brock Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 it's a definite option, there's going to be the guys that chime in and say "noooo, you need at least a 600, don't be a woman!" for me, I don't have money to burn or an ego to pump up, I love my Bravo 250 longtrack sled and 250 Trail Blazer 4 wheeler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipeguy Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Cheapest way out will be to buy small old sled, they are pretty simple and reliable, just IMO, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumma Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 I had a yamaha 80 4 wheelers it didn't tow anything however it would run like a scalded dog. The best part of it was if it got bogged down you just picked it up and moved it. I found that it was an issue if the snow was deeper than the clearance of the chassis. Stay away from the knockoff units they are junk with an attractive price you will break them quickly and find that parts are not easy to find if at all.
