Snowmobiling is a fun outdoor activity for those who enjoy the winter weather and crisp fresh air. Besides recreation, they can also be used to haul cargo over snow-covered terrain with the proper snowmobile sled and hitch.
How much can a snowmobile pull?
Snowmobiles nowadays can tow up to 1500 pounds, but the exact weight depends on the make, model and type. Certain models like utility and touring snowmobiles are made specifically for pulling cargo. Their engines are built for towing, and they typically have a longer and wider body to make transporting easier. For heavy-duty loads like additional passengers and firewood, a utility snowmobile is the best vehicle for the job. Before attempting to haul cargo of any sort, double check the owner’s manual to determine the weight limit.
How to Attach a Sled to a Snowmobile
Any type of snowmobile sleigh or sled should always be attached with a hitch. The hitch is installed onto the rear bumper of your snowmobile. You can do it on your own, but you will need some basic tools like a drill, socket, and a wrench, depending on the type of hitch.
