Towing?

No but it can be hard on your drive belt
shouldn't be if done properly. I've seen damage caused by improper towing to both the towing sled as well as the sled being towed.
Do it right and it's not to bad. Easiest way I have seen is towing the dead sled right up against the other sled so there is no slack and then have the rider ride with someone else, but not on the dead sled. Just too much weight hanging off way back there.
Done it like this a few times and it works pretty good but it does cause some heat on the ol drive belt.
It can even be somewhat comical

How many snowmobilers does it take to screw in a light bulb (or tow out a sled)?
Well done
Lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matty was going real good until he hit the hardpack ice road, then he could not turn. That seemed like the easiest and best solution to get that puddy cat back to its trailer
Thanks!
That had to be 1400lbs or so. Guess it's OK to tow. LOL
Thanks everybody.

Wow
Now THAT is quite a sight!
Good ingenuity there guys
When I broke my sled, we simply used a 15 foot tow strap bumper to bumper, and I took off my belt. We went pretty slow (about 10 mph average) and kept an eye on his temperature, throwing snow on the running boards when it heated up, worked GREAT! Towed out 10 miles that way, luckily we didn't have to go up any hills to make it back.
Thank goodness he was riding "THE TANK"
