Did you remember to pull the belt off? I trust the track stills rolls free? Should be able to get it out, if not, call for tow.-Mezz

I would think that pulling the belt and dragging w/ 2 sleds should get you out of just about anywhere you can ride ??? Did it roll down a ravine or something ? Also .... helps to have no-rider on the sled when towing, I have been towing 2 smokers for years, best way is short towline to a-arms, spindles or ( where ever ) and belt off, and no rider on back steering. Just trying to help, one day I pulled 2 sleds, one after another about 30-40 miles each time. ( Blew one went back out on the back up sled and ended up towing the 2nd primary sled. Hate to admit this but for years I have been towing w/ a rider to steer, just learned after all this time that NO rider on the sled being towed is best, easier on the tow sled if you just keep the rope short and have the " man down " ride dbl up on another sled.

agree with mjkaliszak, no rider on sled being towed. Less weight and it follows right behind the tow sled. good luck

If the track won't turn go buy one of those plastic kids toboggan and set the sleds track on top of it and secure it with a piece of rope.

If you tie to the a arms or spindles, does it still track ok? Do the skis on the sled end up following straight? I towed a bud's sled about 15 miles last time we were up, with him sitting on it, and it seems tough on my sled. My temp's went up about 30-40 degrees, so I'm interested in a better way to tow.

Hoosier, yes they pull really well. The way mjkaliszak explained is what we do. Last time we pulled a sled through the trails in Minocquoa, through a very twisty trail and had no problems. You lead and it will follow!

i think we are missing some info.........I am going to try and read in between the line on this one. They listed four numbers (so I am going to assume 4 sleds in the group). I am going to assume one broke down and between the other three they can not tow it out. Only one possible explanation, the broke down one is a Yamaha and it is to heavy to drag out. Some one above mentioned pulling the belt (silly you that little weight won't help), I would suggested syphoning all the gas out (11 gal x what about 8 lbs per gal) and then also pull the motor (what about another 250 lbs). That should do it.

OK joking aside good luck let us know what happened I am curious as I am sure many others are as well. Bad start to a weekend.

........My heavy ZRT 600 went bad on the river and we towed no problem with a rope tied to one ski on the broken sled. It will pull completly straight behind you but of course the sled will sit to either side. So it's off center but will pull straight off one ski so you dont wreck the ski alignment of the towed sled.............I should do a sled recovery business, i called a guy in Hurley last week cause a friend was broke down in Presque Isle and he said he "couldnt and sorry" now you advertise sled recovery but cant get a sled at 8:30 pm on a saturday? Must have been busy.
