 Topic: Odd Question
Posted: 10 May 2010 at 9:20pm |
Hey all, I have a rather unusual question. It seems im in a little bind. I picked up a set of steel wheels for my 42' WC so incase I have to move it I can. I got them on tonight and I did have to move it temporarily, and I was planing to move it back to where it was. So dummy here pulled it up a few feet did what I had to do but then I was going to move it back and I realized I didnt have enough room to get the truck behind it to pull it back. Ok long story is over. I was wondering if a Polaris 400 work quad would have enough umph' to pull her back the few feet I need. I kno with the steel lugs you cant move them as easily as you could with regular rubber. Any info would be much helpful. Laughs are on me! Thanks.

Bob, Tie a rope to a rear wheel wrapped around outside. You will be amazed what your Polaris will do. HTH Tracy Martin

Why not just push it back with a piece of 4x4 between the tractor and the truck

you can use a 2 x 4 and wedge under the lug and pry up and move it by yourself.

Ah ok. Thanks for the input guys. I have to admit, I didn't think og the 2x4 under the lugs. Thanks to all for the input. I will give these a try. If anyone else wants to add feel free. Thanks

I think my WC on steel moves better in the garage than the one on rubber because those lugs make great handles, of course if your not on concrete it might be a different story.

Have used my Polaris 500 to pull cars out of the ditch, as a log skidder, and pulling a 5' spring tooth drag. Powerfull little beasts in 4 low. If you have a winch on it, even better.
