side by side pit vehiclr January 06, 2023 10:39AM
how big of a side by side to drag a 7000lb vehicle through the pits. I was looking at trackers but we have limited room in trailer. what are some of the smaller cheaper units that will work. I was looking at Honda 700 pioneers but they are very hard to find. there's allot of polaris around but those are 2 mutch for no more than we would use it

Polaris eat belts too fast, get an older 825 John Deere, seem to pull stuff just fine.

Kubota RTU is what I used. 4500lbs antique, LTPto, to 8000 lbs SS. Have loaded up several farm tractors as well. Works great. It will move when you push the pedal. The belt drive rides need rpm and is touchy to move slow.

We've been using a 900 Polaris ranger to pull around 6500lb Modified tractors and it beats the hell out of it. I've been thinking about a 2014-2017 Jeep compass to use instead. It would be road legal so if some friends were going to the pull they could drive it there or it's small enough to get it in the trailer with both tractors.

I use a 1120 Kubota. We have never used the winch in the trailer. Hook a bar to the front of my 7500lb mod and pul it right up the ramp and push it right back out. Never had any trouble. I would recommend. Ryan Writsel.

Used a Mid Size 500 Polaris ranger for years to pull tractors around pits staging areas

We use a Kubota 500 RTV. Our tractor weighs 6000 to 6500 lbs. but we have pulled 2 to the line with it before on a hard surface. We don't break any speed record doing that but it will work. If you farm, no matter what you get if you don't already have one of some sort you will use that thing for MANY uses. Best thing we ever did and have been thinking about adding one. Top speed on ours is about 20mph no load. Neighbor has a Deere 590m and his runs 49 no load. No matter what you get, you'll love it.
