I've loaded machines up like that before. I'll haul my sleds across town with my 7' deck, but the extension goes on for the long haul.

Did one trip to McBride without the extension. First time using the new 7ft Truckboss. First and Last time. 7ft isn't long enough for sleds.

I have no issues with a 7’ deck and no extension, overhangs a bit but I’m also not running a 165 or 175 for that matter

My 153s only have a couple lugs taking half the weight of the sled. The skid hangs down just like the Polaris in the above picture. With the extension, at least half the skid is supported.

The way I run a ratchet strap looped from bumper down under the track to the deck and hooked back to itself lifts the rear skid to sit flat and rest on the strap and also applied forward pressure and rests more weight on the deck, not actually to bad at all

yikes....that's sketchy AF

7' decks need an extension for 163/174's and should have one for 153's. Why do I see so many guys with their sleds sitting back on the deck too? Run those ski loops up tight against the headache rack.

if ya zoom in you can see his superclamp is pretty much touching his spindles....i thought the same thing...move that bitch up.

That deck almost looks like a 6’ deck not a 7’, if that deck is 7’ long that sled is 14’ long by the look of the picture, this is mine on a 7’ deck, it’s not so bad

Magga cab has a longer box than that crew can. 6’4 vs 5’7”.

That polaris is just drop and rolled farther back plus a longer track.

Only the halfers can get the 5'7. HDs all get 6'4".

Doesn't matter the length of track, same amount of lugs on the deck. When you have all that weight bouncing down the highway on 3 lugs and 6" of rail, make you wonder....

I question the park job more than the single sled on a 1/4 ton...

 

[Rene G]

Pretty sure he’s overloaded.

...and parked across a sidewalk

 

[Shredder]

Seems to carry em pretty good. I’ll only own one sled when I leave Martin’s Monday so I’ll be all good after that.
