Re: Polaris Ranger 500 EFI tows 3 ton Delivery Van Up Hill
Today my Ranger 500 EFI pulled a 6,000 pound loaded delivery van 150 feet up my snowy driveway. 
He'd spun his tires until he almost wore the studs down and gotten 20 feet or less. :oops: Hooked up the Ranger in AWD-LO and didn't spin a tire all the way to the top. 8) The two delivery guys were impressed. 
My tire chains are still in the box they came in, in the garage!

Re: Polaris Ranger 500 EFI tows 3 ton Delivery Van Up Hill
OK, they had to come back today... same truck, same two guys, only this time I sanded the driveway for them. They still couldn't drive up a driveway that I walked up and down in my dress shoes! 
Polaris Ranger to the rescue - again! 8) Towed them to the top without slipping a wheel - again. 
If you are a company that delivers things in Alaska, please put snow tires on your delivery van, and make sure it is 4WD! :idea:

Re: Polaris Ranger 500 EFI tows 3 ton Delivery Van Up Hill
Sorry, Ranger Dale! I guess I was busy driving the Ranger and shaking my head... :oops: but I should have asked my wife to grab a camera! 8) Badley, we'd just returned from a memorial service and I hadn't changed yet. Normally I wouldn't even start up the hill in slick-bottomed shoes, but I'd already used the Ranger to plow the snow and run pea-gravel on it for the van... which didn't help them, but it sure kept me on my feet!
