Perform Towing Capacity Test
At 14:31 in
Putting 2 "Work" UTV's to the test.
What happens here
Attach a heavy-duty chain to the rear hitch of the Cub Cadet Challenger and the front hitch of the Gravely Atlas. The goal is for the Cub Cadet to attempt to pull the Gravely Atlas (which is heavier and acts as a stationary load in this initial attempt). After engaging 4WD and differential locks on the Cub Cadet, the chain snaps under the strain, indicating that direct pulling is too much for the Cub Cadet's hitch system. A second attempt reverses the roles, with the Gravely Atlas towing the Cub Cadet. The Gravely easily pulls the Cub Cadet backward, demonstrating superior towing capability. This test emphasizes the importance of robust hitch systems and engine torque for demanding towing tasks with garden tractors and dump carts.
Goal: Conduct a head-to-head towing test where the Cub Cadet Challenger attempts to tow the Gravely Atlas, both equipped with a chain, to compare their raw pulling power.
