Nobody even wants to tow a Yamaha because of the weight.

I may have to apply for an ama license, cuz i've towed so many sleds out of the hills...... Already towed 4 out this year alone, but i guess the 1 ton(rt1000 162") is good for that, eh? Lol;)

Here is a couple of pics that included a M8(mine) connected to a APEX(apex69's) towing out a friends M1000 after the primary blew apart. The shot is taken by hillclimb hill in allan creek. This was an experience to get out!!

There has to be a way we can add a boom and hook to your sled Ric, it would be easier if it looked like a tow truck...lol....

What we have found that works for two sled tows is to tow with the two sleds in front and side by side. Loop the tow line from the back bumper of one tow sled through the front bumper of the busted sled and back to the bumper of the other tow sled (no tying it, just put it through so that you can move it back and forth.

If you have room to drive side by side with the two towing sleds, then this works great, you can really get moving without working against one another and there is no risk of someone stopping too fast and being rear-ended (higher chance when sleds are front to back and really close together).

Here are some pics - Polaris busted crank, ski doo blown rod bearing.
