I have a 1995 ford explorer with factory tow package. Can I carry an ATV using a carrier on the back? 500 lbs?

That is way, way too heavy for a carrier. Why don't you just get a small trailer and use the tow package for what it was designed to do.....tow things. Put your suitcases on a rack. Bye the way..... the Ford was a good choice.

Yes but you may need a really big sidecar to hold the battery unless you are only going to the mailbox and back.

the safest and "MY" preferred way, using a smaller boat is to tether it along side the boat and bring it dock side that way. If you have a bit larger boat than I use," a 17 footer" you can winch it in, third choice "For Me" is using a small caliber hand gun brain shoot it, and after it stops fighting bring it on board! Good Luck & use caution, even a small one can inflect serious damage to you and your boat!

a half-hitch will work fine depending on the tree and the rope used you may need to drive a nail under the rope on the back side of the tree

A 500 lb laptop?  Are you crazy?  How would you carry it?  You'd need a wheelbarrow.

As long as your boat is under 10ft. wide, you don't need a permit,, I had a Bertram 25 hardtop the beam on it was 10ft.2in. I towed it all over in Texas, without a problem !!!! and did not have a permit !!!

Well it really depends on where you want to move it and what you want to do with it when you get it there, but as a start it might be helpful to turn the 500 log into smaller parts and then you can move it by hand. This could be done by the use of either an ax or chainsaw (following appropriate safety guidelines of course).\n\nIf the use of such tools is out of the question then and dragging the log is ok then the use of a winch or a vehicle may be a possiblity; for the use of a hand winch, a rope climbing type winch is advised, one such as a 'tifor' jack, ensuring that the maximum safe working load of the steel wire rope is not exceeded, not forgetting that the 500 is the dead wieght of the log, it is likely to wieght far more being dragged along the ground due to friction/ground efffect(I would advise that it's treated as wieghing 1000lbs at least).\n\nThe winch will need to be fixed to a suitable anchourage, I suggest either a large vehicle (4x4/SUV) or a ground anchor, these consist of a plate with shackles attached at both ends, in the plate are upto 8 holes in which 2ft stakes are driven at angles to hold the anchor. Multiples of the anchors can be linked to provide more anchorage, each being able to hold 1 metric tonne, upto a limit of 6 tonnes using a 'crows foot' configuration.\n\nEnsure that all equipment is certified for the specific use and is load tested and has a current test certificate avaliable if applicable (in the UK that is anything rated for 1+ tonnes)

The load it can carry depends on the length of the span. That is a 10 foot length can carry a heavier load than a 20 foot length and so on. Also it depends on whether it is a cantlever load or whether it is supported on both ends.

I live in Ky but I don't know. You should call the Fish and Wildlife Department, they could tell you all the ATV laws and regulations.

Hefty Bag. They best for carrier.

Most likely yes BUT you need to do a little research. Look in your owner's manual for towing capacity then use this formula to calculate:\n\nTowing Capacity of Vehicle - (Trailer Weight + Weight of Vehicle to Be Towed)\n\nIf the value comes out positive your good to go. If it comes out negative your not. Also, make sure that your Trailblazer is equipped with either a tow package and/or dedicated automatic transmission cooler before towing anything. The cooler keeps your ATF fluid cool under the added pressure of towing. If you are confused contact your local Chevy dealer for assistance.

yes, if you can carry it, and fit it into the car.

A good condo cab is about 11,000 lbs. The old 45 foot flatbaed I had weighted about 9,000 empty. Each of your trailers is about 28 feet, so I imagine that they are about 10,000 each. Mabey around 41,000 lbs? \n\nThere is no way that it could weigh 76,000 lbs. That's the weight of a condo cab hauling 53 foot trailer with a pretty good load inside. 76,000 is just 4,000 short of max weight. \n\nJust out of curiousity, have you ever taken your rig down to a scale and got an empty weight?

If it is possible to be licensed for road use, such as a truck, then it needs to be covered under a commercial auto policy.  You can cover just the physical damage under an inland marine policy, if the carrier is willing, but the liability is definately under the auto.\n\nMobile equipment is generally defined as equipment that you CAN'T put tags on for road use, even if you want to - such as a golf cart.

Good luck finding that.  you will have better luck finding a pickup truck with a camper on the back.  You can rent an RV for a thousand bucks however.

no, but it shouldnt be too hard all you should need is motor mounts, tranny mounts, possibly a fabricated driveshaft and the rest is wiring, but if i were going through that trouble, i'd use 4.3l chevy and a th350 trans
