Beautiful trailer however an atv isn't the machine for the job, just way too hard on them and way too hard on the body.

I ended up picking up a 197x Kubota b6000. It is on excellent condition. Comes with PTO reverser and tiller. Grand total $2,000. The rear tires are original with minimal wear (mild cracks). Once I get her home I'm going to run some videos to compare at atv with a Kubota!

I would definitely take a "smarter" route but I must say this is impressive. I would love to see a B-series attempt this!

I've got a B7100, 4wd and a Yamaha Big Bear 400, 4wd. It is not even close in pulling power and which one can do the most work. The B7100 winds hands down. The build difference between the 2 is substantial as well. The ATV is much lighter components. Over working an ATV is going to get expensive in a hurry.

Each "tool" has it's purpose.
