I have purchased this based on comments from this site. Have not used it yet, but have seen some use it out on the trails. Seemed to work and not too expensive. It is a small package that I have kept with the rest of my items i carry on my sled.

I've got this one too, works well.

 

Check out Dennis Kirk. Do a search for Tow Rope.

I use Part # 3915.

The smallest and simplest way is a 1 foot piece of webbing that you use to tie one ski loop of broken sled to the rear bumper of tow sled. Example being right ski to left side of bumper. Remove belt and put rider behind you on tow sled. This way you don't have to worry about towed sled hitting tow sled when slowing down. Also with two people on towing sled you have better traction for pulling up hills. You can easily hold 30 mph for a 100 miles this way! Trail must be 2 sleds wide though.

 

I use what's called mule tape it is used for pulling in wire in conduit. It is small but very strong. Personally I always tie to the spindles or a-arm. I don't tie to the skis due to not wanting to damage them.

 

Mule tape is some strong stuff, been using it for many years.

 

I've used seat belt material in bulk...

 

1 in wide parachute webbing... I carry a 15 ft piece of it takes up no room whatsoever...

This is the safest and best way to tow a sled. No more stopping and have the towed sled plow into the back of your sled.

 

I have a kit and don't remember the name of it, I just looked it up and it's made by snobunje. I could not find it on there website but did find it online through a Google search, Pic below. I may just have to order another kit of they don't make this any more. This kit is nylon webbing that attaches to both skis and both sides of the bumper of the sled that is towing. With this setup you can tow a sled unmanned and be able to stop without having the towed sled slam into the back of you. I have had to use it a few times and it works flawless.

The SnoBunji greg listed is no longer made. They work awesome and dont take up much room at all. I lost mine and tried to replace it. I ended up having some made. Look up customtiedowns.com. You can piece them together from their optons.

 

Exactly, the SnoBunjii kit!! I have one and it is by far and away the very best thing to tow a sled I have ever seen and I've seen them all. First, it's about the size of a deck of playing cards. Second, you can tow with absolutely no drama whatsoever. I can tow at about 40mph on smooth trails not a single issue at all. We have in fact opted to finish a ride with a dead sled rather than cut it short, simply because of how incredible it is to tow a dead sled. The only disadvantage is that you don't want the rider on the sled at all so someone has to double up. The last thing so great about it was how cheap it was. I think I paid $20, maybe even less. It's so simple and amazing how it works it boggles the mind.

Why this company doesn't make such a thing anymore is beyond me. It is simply the smallest, lightest, easiest, quickest and cheapest way to tow a sled possible. Someone remake this kit!!!

 

Cat Strap. It's small, light, & can fit in your jacket pocket - works to. Not sure if they still make them though. I've still got one from the 90s. I haven't used it in years now but it worked great every time. Call a Cat dealer and have them do a search. I bet there's some dealers with NOS that could ship it.

 

For me, I carry a ratchet strap. You can do so many things with it. Pull a sled. Hold a suspension component together to limp sled home. One Time I use it to hold the primary while I removed the clutch bolt along side the trail. It can be used as a winch too. Too many reasons not to carry one.

 

I grab a dock line out of the boat when putting away for the winter. Great tow line, can use for pulling out stuck sleds, compact and cheap.

 

I bought a snowmobile tow strap from a guy locally here in St. Paul Minnesota.

I've never even used it. I can't even remember what it looks like. But it is a Y configuration and may or may not have a ratchet. But the two go around the skis or spindles then single around tow bumper. I think it has hooks to go around spindle/bar and hook on strap.

It is fairly compact because it is rolled up with some sockets, wrenches, screwdriver, multi tool, first aid kit and some other stuff in this Milwaukee pack out case. It is inside the detachable backpack on our 2017 Grand touring SE 900 ace.

If 8 get a chance I'll take a picture
