HCJtractor, Its likely your 550 will do fine. Whenever you pull something that demands more power, your transmission will wear faster. But hopefully it will not break or last significant less long for you. I posted that photo just to show that some folks do tow implements requiring a large percent of the engines total HP. Hope that helps.
I have a Polaris 550 4 wheeler. I see many people pulling light implements with similar ATVs. Specifically, I was thinking of pulling a drag harrow, say 6 or 7 feet wide and perhaps weighing 150 pounds. My question is does this harm or accelerate wear of the transmission? I also worry about the light tubular frame and potentially damaging it. Does anyone commonly do this and if so, does it break down the 4 wheeler. Any advice? What are your comfortable limits?
I’m not talking about the bigger side by sides you see now. They are bigger and more powerful.
