Thread: Flat towing quad

I want to be able to move my quad, 2011 TRX500 about 4km from where it’s going to be securely stored along a quiet gravel road to my forestry block. I live 2 hours drive away and would like to avoid taking my trailer to move the quad this short distance if possible (this will be ongoing).
Can I flat tow the quad backwards using a short draw bar with couplings on each end (1 on my vehicle, other on quad tow bar) without damaging quad running gear. Obviously I’d tow quad in neutral with steering fixed straight.

Anyone done this?
Any pitfalls to health of quad diff drivelines etc.

Cheers Cliff
